The best product ever , it dye all types of hair, from black to dark blond to a sweet yellow sunny hair color what is the great base for the final color.
I used this product on a light brown hair, after 25 min the hair was almost white , on a tick black hair it take around 60 to 90 min, the maximum time you can lightening your hair is 2 hours but under control and on a healthy hair , and trust me the hair was so soft and shiny after not compared to other products, however it burns the client skin a little especially on the temples where the skin is mostly warm , I suggest adding some lite real sugar to the mix ( no sweet-low or splender ) do not heat up the mix, it will "burn" the scalp even more and damage your hair, this product is powerful at 40% volume so be very careful.

I've ordered this kit before and its the only thing that will lighten my hair enough to be dyed. I love this kit.
I recommend having a good conditioner on standby, otherwise your hair will be super fried. :)

I have naturally dark brown/black hair. I have been bleaching and dying my hair red for over twelve years now. I have tried every bleaching product there is. Loreal, Clairol, you name it, I've used it multiple times. With all of the products I tried I had the same results. I had to leave the bleach on for up to 8 hours for it to get light enough. The bleach itself burned and itched from the moment I began to apply it. My hair never got blond no matter how long I left each and every product on. When I rinsed the bleach out my hair felt like straw. And the color was completely uneven. It was patchy. Light in some places and darker in others.

I decided to give this bleach a try and was unbelievably surprised. After not even 30 minutes my hair was light enough to where I could rinse out the bleach. My scalp never itched or burned. For the first time ever my hair did not feel like straw when I rinsed out the bleach. In fact it felt silky and in better condition than before I bleached it. And again for the first time ever my hair turned out being all the same color. There are no dark patches. It's an all over even color which is going to make dying it so much easier.

I cannot recommend this product enough. This is by far the best bleach I have ever used.

I love this product but here's the deal...if you have semi-long hair, one kit is probably not enough to get your whole head as one even tint. Granted I did not use anything to separate my hair piece by piece so that I got it section by section, I managed to get to the almost platinum blond color required to use the Virgin Snow toner I got (I'm going for pure white hair or a very light gray). But using TWO kits, I only got half of my hair the correct color for dye: the front half and my roots are very pale after only ONE round of bleaching (this is on a dark dark brown set of hair, so this stuff is very very strong!!)and the rest is still a brassy and/or medium blonde color. I kept it in my hair for 65 minutes exactly, after that it stopped processing, but boy did it do a good job of lifting the parts that I got evenly.

My only wish is that 1) the kits came with a MUCH larger amount of bleach powder and 2)they had a tool that I could use to sort of 'wash' the bleach in like a shampoo type situation, instead of using that feeble little tint brush..that way there's no mistaking whether or not my whole head would come out in one even shade.

Another thing of note as well; I had VERY little breakage, next to none. Minus the fact that I shampooed afterwards, my hair is still pretty healthy and not too frizzy or hard after such an intense bleach. I was shocked because everyone was saying it was gonna DESTROY my hair when in fact, it didn't. But nonetheless I will (and do suggest) continuing to conditioning the hair extremely well.

I definitely recommend the product overall, it works extremely well! Just make sure you have enough to go around evenly and have an extra hand to help you or at least use mirrors + something to separate your hair into sections.

Manic Panic Flash Lightening is our favorite precolor kit... we both have sensitive skin and have Never had problems with it we have used both 30 volume and 40 Volume if used right Manic panic is the easiest and safest hair product out there...

I'm one for manic panic lover, this is a good bleach kit, which is easy to use and give you a very good result. For me, it didn't damage my hair. Defiantly recommended.

This bleach is surprisingly gentle on hair, don't leave it on too long because as with all bleaches it will fry your hair but that being said it works wonders. It didn't cause any irritation on my scalp but on my sons much more sensitive heads it did cause some minor irritation so if you have very sensitive skin be careful to keep this away from it as much as possible. Petroleum jelly is a huge help with that.

I bought this to try bleaching my hair for the first time. I have extremely dark brown hair, mistakable for black. It took about an hour leaving this in to get my hair down to an interesting copper-orangish-yellow-blond.

Reapplying for another 15 minutes took -some- of my hair down to a sweet yellow, which is what I wanted so that I could get a greenish color from my turqouise hair color.

It didn't burn when it got on my scalp, but in the sideburns area it started to burn after maybe 45 min but it didnt get any worse.

One reason I didn't give this five stars is because when I opened up the little tub with the powder in it and picked up, the bag was not sealed tightly enough so it sent all of the finest of that powder in my face. Otherwise, the tub was convenient to store the powder in since I only used a little bit at the time.

Also, I added some sugar under the advice of a hair stylist friend to help my results. Not sure what it was supposed to do but maybe it affected my results.

I recently started bleaching my hair, and compared to the different brands I tried, Manic Panic's version doesn't burn or sting. I left it on for the maximum amount of time and my hair lightened significantly (I have natural black hair) leaving to a sort of dark hay-like color. I will need to bleach again though to lighten it even more. Honestly if you have black hair, I don't think you can strip off all the color (to a platinum blonde yellow w/o toner) in one go. This product is effective and doesn't hurt so I do recommend it. Plus it comes with a brush which is handy.

This doesn't just lighten your hair... it turns you into a platinum blonde, ready to use whatever color you'd like on your hair without worry. I made the mistake of using a national brand lightning kit I purchased at a drug store, and my hair was completely orange. Upset, I found this on Amazon and decided to try it out. This took all of the orange out and got my naturally very dark hair as blonde as can be for my auburn dye.
