Product Overview
Manic Panic High Voltage Semi-Permanent Hair Colour – Dark Star is a smoky, cool-toned grey-violet dye that delivers a unique, mysterious, muted look. With its high-pigment, conditioning formula, this semi-permanent hair colour adds shine, depth, and subtle dimension while gradually fading without harsh root lines. Fully vegan and cruelty-free, it is gentle on hair and ideal for creating edgy, alternative styles.
Dark Star is perfect for those wanting a moody, metallic grey shade with violet undertones.
