Manic Panic Amplified Atomic Turquoise Hair
New Hair Time! I decided that I’m going to stay in the teal blue family with my hair for a while, so when it was time to re-do my hair, I decided to pick up Manic Panic Atomic Turquoise in the Amplified Cream formula. I always have to buy this online because I can’t find anywhere locally that stocks it. I also picked up After Midnight Blue.
Before I could dye, I had to lighten my roots. To see the full list of products that I use, check out my Beginner’s Guide to Brightly Colored Hair.
Here I’ve got bleach in my hair, just on my roots. It resulted in a silly look, so I had to take a picture and share. In all of these pictures I’m wearing no makeup. My rosacea is flaring up, unfortunately, so my skin is super splotchy.
This is after bleaching. I contemplated, for a short minute, going all the way blonde again.
This is after I have the dye in. Now, I should point out that I applied Manic Panic Atomic Turquoise Amplified Cream to all of my hair except the crown of my head. I mixed Atomic Turquoise with After Midnight Blue and a tiny bit of Black & Blue for that top back section since i wanted it to be darker than the rest.
I used the Laila Ali Ionic Soft Bonnet Dryer for an hour and a half, and then let the dye on for a half hour after that. I LOVE this bonnet dryer! It’s so much easier to use than my bonnet that I attached to my blow dryer. I just tied this on and read a book for a while.
Here’s my hair immediately after I washed the color out and dried it.
You can more easily see the darker section on top in this image.
I love the little blue, almost cobalt section in the front by my eye. I may hit that with purple again.
Anyway, here’s my updated hair. And for those of you who always ask, I last dyed my hair on July 6 and I did this to my hair on August 25, roughly 7 weeks ago. I don’t bleach my roots every time I do my hair, but I decided they really needed it this time.
How often do you dye your hair? Have you ever used Manic Panic Amplified Cream?
GAH I love this so much!! I can’t bleach my hair cause I have at least 20 years of red on my head, permanent and Manic Panic type dyes!! I can never get it to go a light shade to bleach it!!
you could cut most of it off and then let the other half grow out again do you can cut it 🙂 or you could shave it all off
very pretty
Do love it!

Phyrra LilySeymour Yes honey… give us some hair candy!
do you know of a good place to get colored wigs?
Eliya, for that length, I’d actually suggest a wig.
my hair is shorter than yours, not sure how a clip in would work.
You can always get clip ins if you can’t go full on color 🙂
Looks amazing, but I have to say that I also like the look just after bleaching. It’s very Monet-watercoloured. Love the vibrant final result!
the only time i colored my hair a bright color was my senior year in high school and it was atomic turquoise. I love his color!! When it faded though it turned to a mint green and with my brown hair i looked like an andes mint. haha My dad wouldnt allow my sister to color all of my hair. I love this paired with the blue!!! so pretty!!
Love it.
I love it. You look great!
Love the bangs!!
Turquoise works SO well on you…. I has a jealous, let me show you it. 🙂
