Okay so a few weeks back I posted that I was going to do a mint ombre, BUT the hair was the ion brilliance brights which only tinted part of my end and wasn't even a mint color. So I decided to use a green envy or venus envy from manic panic and none of them were available in either sallys or hot topic (in stores)
So I had to settle for the electric lizard I bleached my hair to a little darker than pale blonde so I thought it would work like that. I had to used the hair dye 5 times and even left it over the actual time the last 2 times and came up with this, tone I LOVE it but in person you can see more like a faded tone and yellow part (last time I dyed it was last night) so my question here is for my ladies and gents who have any experience with manic panic, have you had the same problem? And what do you do to get a bright tone (can't bleach it anymore) please help the color is AMAZINGGGG and don't really want it to wash it out :(

I personally use to leave my manic panic in over night. You could try stripping the colour out and use their white toner, but I've never used it so I can't really recommend it.

Egg masks or avocado! For around the house masks or you could go out and buy one.

Definitely dampen your hair a bit. Not too much. Then put egg and olive oil or coconut oil on your hair and let it sit, rinse with cool water.

Oh I didn't know that could happen with bleached hair, okay thank you both your advice is really helpful I will get the coconut oil as soon as I can to try this out, thank you Hailey and Shanae!
For how long does the mask need to be left on my hair though?
