  • Definitely does the job!
Color: B002GENWU8 Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Sold as said. Make sure you use conditioner afterwards that keeps your hair help. Good for example dove extreme hair care just to keep the hair healthy before during and after it takes time and I needed somebody to help me with this. For people like me only speaking for myself I needed someone to help me, but if you are an expert, this definitely lightens the hair and for me it worked on dyed hair, and my hair was either black brown died, and it did lift the color to a bronze which later made me add a red to it since I wanted to be a redhead but again I needed help and aluminum foil but if you don’t know that already this is just advice but the product most definitely does the job and works and lifts color. ... show more

  • YAY
Color: Orginal Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
OH YEAH. THIS IS THE STUFF. This works so incredibly well I was actually SHOCKED when I watched my hair go from dark purple to BLONDE within 20 mins. Granted that this is a bleach kit, 30 vol at that, it works incredible. I am kinda new to bleaching my hair, I usually just try to let it fade and then tone, but for the color I was doing I needed to be as blonde as possible. I love how easy it was to use, and the instructions were incredibly simple. It also came with everything you could possibly need to bleach your hair! My hair is down to my shoulder blades, medium-full thickness, and naturally blonde. I only needed one box. ... show more

  • It worked better than I thought it would.
Color: Orginal Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I was skeptical at first because I didn't think it was going to do a good job. I wanted it to just at least be decent. It went beyond my expectations is actually a really good kit. My hair isn't dark colored it's actually a light pink or it was and it took it up to almost Platinum so it was really good kit. ... show more

  • I’m genuinely flabbergasted
Color: Orginal Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Honestly I was kinda nervous to use this, given it was my first time bleaching on my own, but it worked surprisingly good and fast, I bleached the front sections of my hair + my eyebrows, and oml!! It lifted the color on my eyebrows in like 5 minutes, the packaging recommended 30-40 minutes, but I only needed about 15 on my hair! And I’ve dyed and bleached it so many times! I definitely 10/10 recommend this product! ... show more

  • Effective bleach kit with strong lifting power (used by my wife)
Color: B002GENWU8 Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased this Manic Panic Flash Lightning bleach kit for my wife, and she’s been very happy with how it performed. She has darker hair and was looking for a kit that could provide strong lift, and this one delivered noticeable results. The kit is straightforward to use and comes with everything needed. The bleach lifted evenly and effectively without patchiness, and she was able to achieve the level of lightening she wanted in a single session. She mentioned that the consistency was easy to work with and applied smoothly. She also appreciated that the formula is vegan and cruelty free. While any bleaching process can be drying, she didn’t experience excessive damage beyond what’s expected from a high-lift product when used correctly and followed up with proper conditioning. Overall, this is a powerful and effective bleach kit that does what it claims, especially for darker hair. My wife liked the results and would consider using it again when she needs a strong lift. ... show more

  • I much prefer the 30 volume kit...
Color: B002GENWU8 Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
EDIT 3/3/14: Because I'm a noob at hair dye, I reviewed this product a while ago, wrongly assuming I was reviewing the 30 volume Manic Panic bleach kit. I have since ACTUALLY used the 40 volume one, which I will now write a review of here. The review that follows is the correct review for this product, and the review below the break is actually meant for the 30 volume. So last year when I used the 30 volume kit, I dyed my ends into a gradient. I started with mostly thick, straight, medium-dark brown hair. I left different parts of my hair in the bleach for 20, 40, and 60 minutes. The parts that were in bleach for 20 minutes turned a light brown and the parts that were covered for the longest turned a nice medium-light blonde color. This was perfect for then adding some Manic Panic dye and being left with a cool colorful ombre/dip dye look. This year, I went for something similar, but covered more of my hair. Here's what the 40 volume kit did that the 30 volume did not: - It burned. The moment I got it on my neck or face or arm (despite wearing gloves and attempting to be very careful) it burned and I had to call someone in to help me wipe it off. - It damaged my hair. When I dyed my hair last year there was almost no harmful effect, but this year after washing the bleach out my hair was very stiff and straw-like. And I almost never use heat on my hair and use very few products. A few conditions later and it's looking mostly normal, but I wasn't happy about this because... - It didn't lighten nearly as much as the 30 volume kit did. The ends of my hair ended up covered in bleach for 75 minutes (they say for dark brown hair you can go up to 90) and the parts that were covered for the shortest amount of time had it in for about 30 minutes. My hair now goes from my natural dark brown, to a medium brown, to a lighter brown, to a dark brassy blonde color. I'm not extremely happy about how light it got, but because of the way it damaged my hair, I'm scared to re-lighten anytime soon. I know some of this can be attributed to the fact that it is a 40 volume kit and therefore I should have expected the harsh results. But I wasn't pleased with the burning and the damage... when it didn't even lighten my hair all that much! I should've done better research and done 1 or 2 lightening steps with a 20 or 30 volume instead of jumping right in with the 40 volume. Some redeeming points: the shade my hair is makes for a nice ombre to walk around in. It's definitely more subtle than if I had bleached my ends super light. So that's nice, at least. But not great for what my purpose was, which was to later add colored dyes. ----- I decided on a whim to do a self-done dip-dye/ombre color on my hair, and everyone recommended I use Manic Panic. I used this bleach kit on my hair, and not only did it come out the way I wanted it to, but it was pretty easy to use. The kit comes with everything you'll need -- a little tub for mixing and applying, a brush, thin plastic gloves, and the product itself. The gloves felt pretty cheap and after my third or fourth layer of bleach (since I was doing ombre) they started to break, but they held up pretty well until then. I'll echo what others have said in that if you're planning to dye your entire head of hair, and you have a lot of hair, you might want to get two of these bleach kits. I ran out sooner than I thought I would. In the end, the parts of my hair that were covered in the bleach for a total of about an hour turned a yellow blonde color (my original color is a dark brown) and the parts that were covered in the bleach for about 20 minutes turned a light brown. It made for a really great gradient. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product, and will definitely use it again if I ever plan on bleaching my hair again :) ... show more
