do you HAVE to bleach first?

I have gray hair so I don't have to bleach first. If your hair is dark you would to really make the color show.

No, but without bleach the color won't be as vibrant and might only be visible in certain lights, unless you're a natural blonde.

I have done both. I have bleached it and then colored my hair Violet and the color was intense and bright. As it faded into a real light blue/gray, I wanted a more "normal" color so I colored over it with a chemical based color (Feria) red. Then after a few weeks I wanted to tone that red down, so I added the Violet over the top of the Feria and resulted in a more purplish hue which I find very pretty and not too loud of a color. The best part of using it over a natural color is it just adds a hint of color, but when you use it over bleach it's a more drastic color. It depends on what look you seek. I have done both.

Honestly it depends on how dark your hair is naturally. I did, because my hair was dark and dyed but if you have lighter hair then you should be good.

you don't HAVE to, but how the difference is huge! it still looks fine, but if bleached before the color is extremely vibrant/intense! if you have blonde hair it'd probably work just as well.

I've used red (unbleached) & pink (bleached) on my daughter's dark brown hair. If you don't bleach your hair, it will have a slight tint but still looks good! If you want the full effect, then yes, with darker hair, you would have to bleach first. If you go onto the Manic Panic website, you can see actual photos of people.

No, I haven't bleached them. I sent back the ones that I ordered as they seemed too thin and were smaller that what I wanted.

It should not damage bleached hair. However, I do not use it every day because of the color in the shampoo. I typically use another shampoo first and then this shampoo for second sudsing and rinse well. bleached or permed hair grabs color. My hair is white and permed. By using as I do I have the most beautiful silver color. Strangers stop me to compliment and some even ask to touch my hair. Iwhen I have used it as my only shampoo or with every shampoo it has made my hair blue or purple toned. Use another shampoo for cleansing, then use this shampoo lightly for a toner.

I bought it because it was pure for a newborn so no, I didn't use bleach with it. I can't tell you one way or another. You might want to contact the company.

yes it is a bleach. I have auburn hair and it took it to a beautiful blond in 55 minutes. I always finished it with Wen shampoo so I never had any breakage or burning.

All bleach can damage your hair. How much depends on your hair, the volume of lift you want, the amount of time you have the bleach on your hair, and other factors.

from the original shade of hair color- if you want little to no lift 10%, 2 shades lighter 20%, 3 shades 30%, 4 Shades 40%- if its higher than that you may want to use the bleach to pre-lighten the hair, then process with a 10 vol

Yes. I believe instructions in the packet itself say "best to wash before use" and something about cool water delivate cycle. That surprised me, but now I am using them I can vouch for hot water and a no-bleach cleanser is just fine.

Bleaching is necessary to make the color stand out. Anyone with hair brown-black must lighten their hair first.

The laundry instruction that accompanied my towels said not to bleach. But on occasion I have used a minimal amount of bleach and my towels have wash-up beautifully. I do not use bleach often...but do use Arm & Hammer Baking Soda regularly.

No you can't. It doesn't work that way. Bleach is taking color out if the hair. Toner is actually putting blue/purple due back in the hair shaft to neutralize the yellow hue. Toner is hair color
