You can purchase any hair dye at a beauty supply shop like; Sally's
Sally's Beauty does not sell Special Effects. Hot Topic and Spencer's carry it, though. I have been looking for awhile, those are the only in-store places I have found that carry it.
Bubbles and Shampoo in Noe Valley, (though they're not great about keeping stocked up) and Lipstick Salon Beauty Supply in the Mission.
3/10/12: Forget all those and go to DAILY BEAUTY SUPPLY on Irving instead. Lipstick used to have a good selection but I was just there last week and for whatever reason they literally had like 2 bottles in 1 color left. When I was there in the summer they had 10-12 colors available. Person behind counter was nice but not helpful, couldn't give me any information at all.
Called Bubbles & Shampoo to inquire and person who answered the phone at first said no Special Effects in stock then changed it to if you wait I'll go check. Almost 5 minutes later I was still on hold (while I could hear her chatting with other customers in the store) so I hung up. Lame!!
Did a Yelp search and found DAILY BEAUTY SUPPLY, in the Inner Sunset on Irving and this place is GREAT. Guy on the phone was very helpful, told me exactly which colors they had, and when I got there he was friendly and nice. Daily Beauty is also lower in stock than usual because recently there was a problem with the manufacturer, but still they had at least 10 colors available. Yeah Daily!! I'll never go anywhere else for Special Effects again.
Special Effects Dye is found at Hot Topic or on line.
Manic Panic or Special Effects.
At Hot Topic, Special Effects Color or Raw Color costs around $13.00 plus tax.
The most gentle hair dye is a vegan hair dye, like Special Effects or Manic Panic. They do not damage the hair like chemical hair dyes. They are Semi Permanent.
One may acquire such information from a hair stylist whom could inform a person about the effects of using such dye. An example of such knowledge would be the pros and cons of using the product and how it may affect certain hair types.
special effects works okay, you could also try RAW or manic panic
Splat dye in general is just bright colored dyes. The "glow" dye supposedly glows in black lights. But please don't dye your hair with splat...use special effects dye instead. it lasts a little bit longer and when it fades, it doesn't look like a complete mess.
It makes your hair "burned" and dry but you can heal it with special oil's.
Any hair dye can damage your hair to a point that your hair will be more frizzy and dry but with the conditioner it should counter the dyes effects such as frizz and dryness . But no I have not heard of any dye making your hair fall out. DO NOT dye your hair and use a relaxer later on or use at the same time or your hair will fall out!!

Hair dye can be messy and stain things other than your hair. Some people are allergic to it.
NO. Its not bad But it makes your hair "burned" and dry but you can heal it with special oil's.
