Manic Panic Cleo Rose Review and a lil tips for you..~

hey everyone..!! as i promised on my last post, i will give you a review about my new hair color using manic panic again.. this time i choose "Cleo Rose" as recommended by the seller, because i still want a pink color, but with a darker shade.. i was confused want to choose between Cleo Rose or Hot Hot Pink? then the seller told me that Cleo Rose will faded away with a pretty pink color, so yeah why not?? hehe..

well, as you know, my pink cadillac has faded away, leaving my hair back to blonde in a week..~~ that's the reason why i choose darker color, so it can last longer, and it did by the way.. hehe.. but first, let's see the product..!! i buy the classic cream one, because amplified colors range are so little, while classic cream has more variety..

classic cream come in a jar look, while amplified is more like bottle.. i like the jar one because it's easier to scoop in and take the cream out.. here's the more detailed photos of the product itself, you can see the directions and ingredients..

i won't write much about the details because you can see and read them directly from those photos above, let's move on to the next one.. i will tell you what you need before starting to dye your hair, oh yeah i done this on my own, thx to youtube channel..!!! <3

what you need are :
- manic panic hair dye
- a pair of plastic/rubber gloves
- a bowl
- comb & brush for dyeing
- hair band / hair clip
- vaseline petroleum jelly
- shower cap

ok, before starting, please keep in mind that this will be a messy procedure, use a shirt that you don't mind getting stain on it, take off all the accessories, and cover your floor with old newspaper..

How to :

- the first step is to wash your hair using shampoo only, don't put any conditioner, because conditioner work as a barrier between your hair and the hair dye itself, so the color won't come in
- blow dry your hair until it's really dry and comb it thoroughly
- apply vaseline petroleum jelly around your hair line, neck, and ears, so the hair dye doesn't stain your skin
- now make a section of your hair, i like to do it from the bottom part, and clip the rest of the hair up
- put on the gloves and take out some of the hair dye into the bowl
- now take some part of your bottom hair and comb it once again, then take the color using your finger or the brush for hair dye (i prefer using my hand, i don't like to use the brush because it takes so much time, but it's up to you, suit yourself with the one you like)
- as i mentioned above, i'm using my hand/finger to apply the hair dye so i apply it thoroughly and rub each section of the hair with palm of my hand until the color spreads well and through

the photo above is illustration only, because i can't take any pictures during the process..
- next one is to make sure that all of the bleached part are covered, add color to any part that needs more color and rub them all once again
- after you sure that there's no missing parts, tie up your hair into a bun and put on the shower cap
- leave it for as long as you can, manic panic is super safe because it's vegan product so there's no side effect whatsoever, i leave mine for 3 hours..!! the longer you wait the better it will turns out..~
- after that rinse your hair with cold water away from your face, rinse it until the water runs almost clear
- you can blow dry it if you wanna see the results or just let it air dry, less damage to the hair
- and it's done..!!!

now you must be wondering if there any special routines to maintain the hair color?? yes there is..!! i will tell you everything that i know and everything that i have learned so far to maintain the color as long as possible..

- don't wash your hair 2-3 days after you dye it, leave it as long as you can
- wash your hair with cold water, as cold as you can
- avoid using too hot styling tools
- use heat protection when u do need to use styling tools
- and also don't wash your hair to often after that, i wash my hair once every 2 or 3 days depends on my hair condition, if it's a little greasy i use dry shampoo instead, because more often you wash more faster the color will fade away.. i'm using batiste dry shampoo, it's really working on my greasy hair and last long for the day..

- and for the shampoo itself, you have to choose shampoo that focused to maintain colored hair, i already try herbal essence and L'oreal.. i was searching for Herbal Essence Color Me Happy and they don't sell it Indonesia, so i went to a supermarket called Papaya here in Surabaya, they usually sell imported stuffs and finally i found it..!! Herbal Essence Color Me Happy is famous for colored hair, that's why i really want to try it.. hehe.. i will tell you the difference between each of these shampoo :

       * the first one is L'oreal color vive protecting shampoo and conditioner, makes my hair super soft, great texture, unfortunately my scalp is getting greasy so fast, just in a day when using these products..

L'oreal color vive

       * the second one is Herbal Essence Colour Me Shiny, you can find it anywhere in Indonesia, also give a soft results to my hair, not as greasy as L'oreal, but still the oil appear faster..

       * the last one is Herbal Essence Color Me Happy, if you are in Surabaya, you can bought it on Papaya, it's an imported product from America and only have a big size, the price is around Rp.75.000,- .. now u may think that it looks the same with colour me shiny, but it's not, i don't get as much oil on my scalp until 2 days.. although when i wash my hair using this, it feels a lil bit dry not as moisture like those 2 products above, but only with conditioner it gets smooth again.. so no problem, i really love this one and recommended to you guys..!! yes it's kinda pricey, but hey u have to do the best for your hair to maintain it's color right? =)

- and last trick is to mix some of the hair dye to the conditioner, it will layer your hair with a lil bit of color so it won't faded so fast.. if you have super dry hair people dilute conditioner with hair dye so it have a less damaging results when they colored their hair, but many ppl complain that the color won't stand out that much and faded away even more faster than usual..

well that's it for the tips, and if you wonder, i still have some leftovers after dying my hair.. but when i did the pink cadillac color, it's not enough using 1.. i'm kinda confused here, probably darker color = less product to use?? hahaha..

the pro's and con's will be similar, and some is same with my older post because it's the same product after all, only different color..

Pros :

- don't have smell because it's a vegan product, so it doesn't ruined or damage ur hair
- many range of colors
- conditioning the hair, yep that is so true..!! i can feel my hair become so smooth after dyeing it with manic panic..!!
- don't have any side effect
- semi permanent..!! i can change my hair color everytime it turn back to blonde..~
- this cleo rose color is on my hair for almost 2 weeks now, it faded slowly but not as fast as pink cadillac, really satisfied with this color..!!
- i still got some leftovers left..!! what a shock..!!

Cons :

- pricey, but hey.. quality equals with the price, this product doesn't dried out or damage our hair, so why not??
- stained the skin even if you let it stay for few seconds, and my clothes get stained everywhere, can't get rid of it even after wash

my rating for manic panic cleo rose is 10/10 .. great color, so vibrant..~

as i said before, i really love manic panic and satisfied with the results, what kind of color should i try next??? what do you think??? hehehe.. as usual i purchased this from @petite.lady ..
