Manic Panic Atomic Turquoise Amplified Cream Hair Review

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.

With Bleach In

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.

After Bleaching

This is after bleaching. I contemplated, for a short minute, going all the way blonde again.

With Color in my Hair

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.

With the Dryer On

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.

After I washed and dried my hair

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.

  1. 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!!

    1. 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

  12. 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.
