What brand hair dye do you use for those who dye thier hair bold colors. Recently I used Manic Panic and I think it sucks.

I LOVE "special effects." But I only have experience with their pink shades. Much better than Manic.
i used N'Rage once fucking shit went from red to pink in one day... and barely even died my hair... >.<
Manic Panic... doesn't compare to Special Effects. I like Jerome Russel's BWild, but it fades pretty fast. But both Manic Panic and Jerome have good white toners, though Jerome's is better...
I agree with Halcyon.. Special Effects is great. I've found a lot of luck with RAW too. Both you can pick up from hottopic.com. Sorry if you don't like to buy stuff from there. But I know they have it.
I was never too big on the Jerome Russel - Punky Colours. ugh. That shit used to never stay in hair.
OK I will check out special effects
I use Special Effects Pimpin Purple fairly often, although I most recently used a different color. You can get it at almost any beauty supply store as well as many punk rock boutiques.
Retail Slut hair dye section -- old skool punk boutique, been around for years, and I have shopped there
Sourpuss -- have not shopped there, but met them at a convention once
I was going to make a long list, but really, whatever your local punk rock store is, they probably carry either Special Effects, Punky Color, Manic Panic, Fudge, or all some combo of the above.
Here are some tips from Special Effects on how to get your color to last brighter longer:
Bleach hair first before applying hair dye. (Note: this can make the color last longer than 8 weeks
allowing color to penetrate deeper into hair. Color might leave a slight stain once it wears out.)
Make sure hair is completely dry.
Use a high PH Shampoo (cheaper shampoo tend to work better because they strip hair, giving better
preparation for dying.)
Do not use conditioner before dying. Including shampoo and conditioner in one.
"make sure hair is completely dry"
I didn't know that!?
The Punky color seems to last longer, but the Special Effects colors seem more vibrant...
Depends what color you want...
I want purple and blue
