Use a good color shampoo/deep conditioner for colored hair. After you color it, don't use heat on it or blow dry it. Wait at least a day. And before you color, don't wash your hair the same day. Like take a shower at night and don't put anything in your hair and color it the next day.

Clean hair as in not cleaned the same day. Your hair needs natural oils before you dye it so the hair can stick. But if all fails, get a better hair dye.

Manic panic its always worked before

The thing with semi permanent vegetable based dye such as Manic Panic is that is generally only lasts two weeks. There are SEVERAL solutions to your issue. Switching brands makes a huge difference especially going from a brand such as Manic Panic to Special effects. Special effects if a brand, same as manic panic (veggie based and semi perm) however, the staying power and color intensity is just generally better. However, if you are intent on sticking with your brand you can add dye to your conditioner. Avoid using heat, or exposing your hair to water unless it is necessary. Wash your hair less, its healthier anyway. If you can, generally avoid shampoo unless your hair is extremely greasy. Use vegan hair care products free of parabens and silicone, and deep repair masks.
