As long as you don't get your hair wet it won't bleed, so it will last, but the second you get it wet it bleeds and fades.

Manic Panic is gentle and does not damage the hair. It actually has restorative properties, and acts as a conditioner. You can leave it in for hours without any risk to your hair.

Cons
Con Some colors don't stick at all
They will wash out when you are rinsing your hair.
Con Moderately high maintenance and cost
To keep these colours looking their best, it is wise to reapply after 4-5 washes maximum. In Australia, Classic Cream is approximately $25 and Amplified is $30 (Amplified is reported to last 33% longer)
Con Staining/doesn't wash out completely
As the colour washes out, it often leaves the hair with remnants of faded colour is almost impossible to wash out completely. It is best to either cut the hair, or colour over it with a darker shade than the staining.
Con Colors are not accurate
The colors do not come out as the company claims them to be.
Con Never stops bleeding
Even if you follow the directions, and use a vinegar rinse it will constantly bleed if its even a tiny bit wet whether its from sweat, hair products, etc.
Con Difficult to find outside of Europe
It's difficult to find the product in Canada and the US. Websites that will ship it outside of Europe (like Amazon) usually put quite a markup on the price.
Con Unpredictable wash out time
The wash time can vary between very few, to quite a lot before the colour disappears (many users say it disappears quite quickly).
Con Shampoo and Conditioner do not perform
Their shampoo range makes no difference to colour staying time.
