Instructions

1. Grow out or cut your hair to lay slightly past your collar bone. Give yourself choppy side-swept bangs that hang in chunks at your eyebrows and just below your eyes.

2. Bleach your hair using a bleaching kit from Manic Panic or by visiting your local stylist. If your hair is very dark to start with you may need professional bleaching to keep your hair healthy. Wait a few days before dying again and leave your hair unwashed during that time.

3. Divide your hair into three sections, which are going to contain your three colors: blond, yellow and red-orange. Section the top strands, grabbing random pieces to keep the colors random, twist the bundle and pin it up. Do the same to the under layer, which stays bleached, leaving the middle layer free.

4. Use Manic Panic Electric Sunshine on the middle layer to create the Hayley Williams fire look. Place a piece of foil under each two-inch strand Paint the strand with dye cream and fold the foil over itself to seal and cover the hair. Repeat until all yellow sections are finished.

5. Dye the top layer with Manic Panic Wildfire or Electric Lava, using the same foil technique. Make sure to saturate the hair so it doesn't dry out. Place a shower cap over your head to accelerate the color process and follow the directions for time limits.

6. Wash out each color separately while covering the other color to prevent "bleeding." Some color strands may blend together but the colors are similar so you may not notice.

7. Blow dry and straighten your hair like Hayley Williams to complete the look. Touch up the hair color as needed and personalize the look with your own style.

Tips & Warnings

• Ask a friend to help you if you can't do it yourself. It's often easier to dye someone else's hair.

• Avoid getting bleach and hair dye on your skin or in your eyes. Be careful to dye your hair, not your scalp.
