Description
Vampire Red Vampire Red is a deep, blood red dye that can give burgundy tones to virgin, unbleached hair. For best results, we recommend lightening hair to light level 8 blonde or lighter. 1. Wash hair with a deep cleansing/clarifying shampoo. Do not condition. 2. Dry hair with a blow dryer to make sure the hair is extremely porous. 3. Put on gloves and apply Manic Panic Hair Color using a tint brush making sure hair is thoroughly saturated. 4. Comb through the hair color to make sure it is evenly applied. The cream may become slightly frothy. 5. Cover hair with a plastic cap and leave on for 30-45 minutes. For more intensity, add heat. 6. Rinse with cool water away from your face and body until water runs clear. Do not shampoo. 7. Style as desired. To prevent color transfer or bleeding, always make sure your hair is completely dry. Pro Tip: Use a hair dryer to evenly apply heat for 5-10 minutes of your processing time. This will help to open up the cuticle and allow the Manic Panic hair color to better penetrate the hair strand. Make sure to allow the hair to cool completely before rinsing out color.

perfect color
favorite dye i love this color so much
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2026 by kat fowler
I finally did it - I dyed my hair Vampire Red and I LOVE it
So my hair color is light brunette with the occasional blonde highlight. I have wanted to dye my hair red for the last ten years, and with quarantine, I was like - screw it - it's time to take the plunge. I went with manic panic Vampire Red because I didn't want it to be permanent, but I also wanted a pretty intense red. Here is what I learned. By the way, keep in mind that I diluted the manic panic with conditioner, so your results may be COMPLETELY different if you just use the dye with no dilution. Positives: 1. Easy application I honestly know nothing about dying hair, and it turned out amazing regardless. 2. NO BLEACH NEEDED!! (see before and after picture) Look, obviously if you want that red to match the color on the container, you're gonna have to bleach your hair. But it looks awesome without it too, which I can't say about all hair dyes! 3. It didn't destroy my hair! Actually, my hair felt amazing after application. Not to mention I have thin, delicate hair that I'm deathly paranoid of damaging (for fear that I might lose what I have!). 4. The dye smells awesome! AND it's vegan! Negatives: 1. It bleeds. Everywhere. I'm lucky that my towels and sheets are all dark because HOLY MOLY this thing bleeds for weeks after the initial dye job. Even when I got sweaty during exercise, some of the droplets were pinkish red! I don't even want to imagine what would happen if I got in a chlorinated pool! I mean, I expected as much because it's semi-permanent, but man. It's stubborn to get off surfaces, and it never did come out of my one set of light colored sheets. Make sure you have some bleach and a magic eraser handy, because I would have stained everything I loved if I wasn't careful. 2. It has pink undertones, which can make it fade strangely. Now this may not actually be a negative for you, but it was for me since I wanted browner undertones. To each their own though. Overall, this was a cheap and fantastic choice. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who is curious!

My favorite semi-permanent hair dye OF ALL TIME
My favorite semi-permanent hair dye OF ALL TIME. This is my color. Vampire Red is more on the pinkish side when it fades, but I am 100% fine with it. I prefer pink fade instead of orange fade with most other red dyes. You can mix this with conditioner (the more conditioner, the lighter it will be) and if you're going over box color, I recommend doing it that way. I've done it over dark brown, burgundy, dark & light purple, and dark red. Gives your box color a nice sheen of Vampire Red over top of it. I typically will mix with conditioner to give my hair a refresher in between dye jobs, and as you know, red is one of the hardest colors to maintain. Though if you're putting this on bleached or lightened hair, I don't recommend mixing with conditioner unless you want a more pastel version of this color. I'd say leave it in for at least an hour, but I've gone up to 4 hours before, and I know some people go overnight too. It's vegan and not harsh on your hair at all. You do have to be careful with this dye. It will STAIN everything. Wear gloves when you apply it, and make sure you cover important surfaces like sink or toilet with newspaper before dying your hair with this. Wrap your head in a towel before getting out of the shower, because if your wet hair drips on the tub and you don't catch it, it'll probably end up dying that too. It may seem like a pain, but it's really not that hard to get it everywhere if you're careful. It will rub off on your pillowcase too (usually only if your hair is still wet when you lie down), so you also have to be careful there as well. Sounds like a lot, but I think the color is worth it.

Would 100% recommend!
Very good hair dye. So far, it’s stayed in my hair for about some weeks now, it did stain my shower but that was easy to clean. Somehow made my hair softer, and even though I have dark brown hair, and did NOT bleach it, you can very clearly see the red!!!

Great
I love this color it even shows up on dark hair

Vibrant and works great!
I have been a manic panic fan for many, many years now. I have dark brown hair that has some lighter pieces from a balayage that I had done about 6 months ago. I use this over my entire head. I try to stay away from my scalp but it inevitable gets there because I have a lot of gray which I like to cover with this product. It will stain towels and clothes but I think that is to be expected when dying your own hair. Even though, it takes a VERY long time to wash the dye out, I think it's totally worth it. Lasts for 2 months or so and slowly fades into a lighter pink on my lightest pieces. I will continue to buy this product.

Worked on black hair.
We were skeptical but it worked well compared to other brands. Was used on natural black hair and the color actually showed. We kept it on for 2.5 hours.

Good but with a few cautions.
This is for Vampire Red MP: On the one hand, it will dye your hair VERY BRIGHT red. On the other, it lasts that VERY bright shade of red for about 1-2 washes and then rapidly fades to an eventual pinkish color that simply won't leave. Or at least that's how it worked for me. I had naturally light hair, highlighted blonde. The best experience I've had with manic panic was using it as pastels. I had rose-gold color from mixing cotton candy pink + psychedelic sunset + equal amount of conditioner and it was gorgeous. Mix it up with conditioner and leave on for 30 min and it dyes pastel beautifully. It also conditions the hair and feels fantastic. When using it as a pastel it lasts on my hair approx 4 weeks and then it's gone like it was never there. When I used MP Vampire Red straight it was still a unflattering pink after 12 weeks of every color removing trick in the book.... so yeah. I ended up having to go to a salon to fix it but they couldn't bleach the rest out so I ended up dying over it. Moral of the story is that it's great when used as a pastel, you probably have to start with blonde hair, and if you use it undiluted on bleached hair you very well might never get it out!
