Manic Panic Flash Lightning 40 Volume Complete Maximum Hair Lightening Kit Reviews
Easy & effective
This was my first time bleaching hair so I wasn't sure how well it would go but this made it easy and totally idiot-proof. The kit had everything I need and the instructions were clear. It worked well and lightened the hair quickly and without damage or mess. Cruelty free and affordable. All around an excellent value. I do recommend getting more than one box - one box was just enough for me to do my husband's hair and while he does have a big head and a full head of hair by adult male standards it is still not long by any means, so I think anyone with medium or longer hair would definitely need 2+ of these. Will definitely repurchase.
The only bleach I use...
The only bleach I use on my hair. Ive been using it since Im 16. Im now 40. So theres that. The only improvement I would make is to maybe have it come with more. Thank god my hair is short, but when it was longer I always had to buy two. But I love it. It makes my hair sooooooooo white. I will continue to use it until my hair falls out.
Work great. It...
Work great. It bleached my hair without destroying it. I have to tone it down with wella toner but, its ok. Pretty good for D.I.Y hair bleach kit. Price was good and easy to use. I watch YouTube for how to do it. I have soft black hair and turn into brown blonde balayage hair. Recommend to wait 2 week at least between bleach to get to color you want. I bleach 2 times then tone it.
Amazing Product for Dreads!
I'm new to the whole hair thing but have used this bleach both times. I have dreads so I knew it was going to be a hassle trying to get an even lightening. It wasn't. The first time I used this product, it came out exactly as I'd hoped and the second time 2 months later, I used it on top of already bleached hair to get the new growth that had come in and not only did it not damage my already bleached hair, but the virgin hair underneath came out great too! I couldn't be happier with this product. I will say this though, my hair is in a dreadlock mohawk and I only ever bleached half of it. If you have a full head of dreads, you're going to want to get a few packs of it so it can take evenly all the way through.
worked well, but buy two!
it worked really well and lightened my level 3 hair to a level 6 after 45 minutes, but it ended up patchy because i only bought one kit and it wasn't enough for my hair- and i may have thick hair, but it's only shoulder length. i recommend this product, but make sure you buy 2 packages!
This stuff right here is the truth!
This stuff really works! It took no time for my hair to go from salt and pepper with a little of the old color left and the ends, to light bright! I had a burgundy color put in and it came out so vivid! This stuff is the truth! Been using it for 3yrs now this is my go to!
Best bleach kit, best price!
Most 40 volume bleach kits will set you back double this price; to top it, won't do as good a job. As a former hair/MUA I've used so many brands carried at the various salons I've worked in over the years, and seen how badly they work (if at all, I could write a book about the bleaching disasters clients were put through😢.) This is the best bleach kit, period. Others may claim to be good but don't live up to the hype whereas the owners of Manic Panic aren't money hungry creeps jumping on a trend- they've been doing this decades before it was "cool" & acceptable, know all the best tricks; one being USE GOOD BLEACH when needed which IMO this kit is! Buy & enjoy your new colour, remove old colour that's stained previously bleached hair (happens to the best of us), or use some "Virgin Snow" Manic Panic colour as a deep conditioner & enjoy having white hair! Either way you win! One important part to watch for: keep checking as some hair beaches quicker than others, will obtain a very light level (look up online to be sure you understand before you bleach) quite fast! Make sure you watch to get the correct colour level for the shade of Manic Panic dye you'll be using after. This is a very strong bleach, so please keep checking!
Dark to Blonde
I have not bleached or dyed my hair in 12 years. I have level 2 dark brown hair. Within 30 minutes I was lifted to a level 7 blonde. Then I reapplied and after another 15 minutes I was lifted to a level 9. I had no issues with my scalp burning. I also had very minimal damage to some of the hair that was at the top of my head. However, this was very minimal and remedied after I conditioned it twice.
Works well just leaves...
Works well just leaves hair brassy so make sure you use a toner after it's easy to use however the smell is very strong will burn your eyes it's amazing though and works very well on all hair types I would buy again
Works great!
I've been wanting to bleach my hair for a while now and decided to give it a try. It was easy to use and worked really well (i have really dark brown almost black hair).I was a little scared of damaging my hair because that can happen whenever you do bleach your hair. But honestly there wasn't huge damage. I do recommend you buy two boxes if you have alot of hair though. I only bought one box and it wasn't enough for my whole head.
My middle section was...
My middle section was previously orange and the sides got bleached for the first time. It lightened pretty good. Do not overuse this product and be sure to deeply condition and rehydrate your hair after using otherwise you're just going to kill it. I've used the product maybe 3 times now in between color changes and makes for vibrant colors that really stand out. I'm a brunette so this helps incredibly so I get the true color rather than something dulled down. If you want vibrant saturated colors I highly reccomend this product. Follow the directions as far as time goes but watch it to see when it is ready so you don't burn your scalp.
I've used this so many...
I've used this so many times over the last decade. It's easy to use and does an amazing job at lightening your hair. Goes hand in hand with manic panic hair dye you can use any other brands with it or leave the lightened hair as desired!
soo good!
i was kinda scared to buy this at first because reviews were iffy but i'm SO GLAD i did!! it was my first time working with bleach and it still came out so amazing! i only did the front parts of my hair so i had more than enough product, but if you're doing your whole head i would definitely recommend getting like 2-3 boxes of this depending on how thick your hair is.
When used properly...
When used properly this bleach works well. It effectively removes all colors from your hair, leaving it a nice light shade of blonde. HOWEVER it significantly dries out your hair more than other brands of bleach I have used and my hair was left feeling very dry and looking lackluster for about two weeks.
Very good product!...
Very good product! Lightened my level 4 hair to a level 8 in 10 minutes. Hair doesnt feel dry either! I do take pretty good care of my hair so that may be why, but I do think this is a quality bleach, and i recommend it on my page & channel
This is 40 vol. bleach...
This is 40 vol. bleach so it's pretty damaging to hair. My hair is very very dark and thick so I needed this vol. to have an effect. If you have a lot of hair you'll need more than one of these, but I would recommend just going to the salon. It can turn very orange, and unless you're coloring your hair too, you might not want that look.
I'm a naturally blond...
I'm a naturally blond so I need something that gives me a non ash look. The kind of water we have where I live also turns your hair to a beautiful orange color ( not pretty at all) so this is what I use to get all that mess out
This is the only...
This is the only bleach kit I have used since starting to bleach my hair in 2010. It doesn't cause any damage (if don't correctly), it lifts any kind of color you can possibly imagine, and it does it's job very quickly. It also doesn't have a super harsh smell like a lot of other bleaches. If you're looking to bleach your hair, I would recommend this over any other product out there.[product:manic-panic-flash-lightning-hair-bleach-kit-40-volume.]
Really convenient if...
Really convenient if you don't have enough money to afford a salon trip but you're too impulsive (like me) to wait for a new hair color. The smell is kind of strong, but it works well. Just don't leave it on too long; check it frequently. It works faster than you might think!
I went from dark...
I went from dark brunette to platinum blonde in the comfort of my own home thank you to manic panic and LOTS of conditioner. It gets the job done and as long as you're smart about it you should be able to escape with a not totally damaged head of hair.
