Julia Fox is a gift. The actress and pop culture icon is constantly serving up DIY hacks on TikTok (never forget the beach towel dress), and her latest is just how she gets her faded cherry red hair look.

Unlike most celebrities who would entrust a professional, Fox shared that she uses the Manic Panic Semi-Permanent Hair Colour Cream in Red Passion. ’90s kids might remember Manic Panic (the nostalgia!). The temporary tints come in shades like pink, blue, burgundy and orange, single-handedly carrying the millennial population through Coachella and the enduring obsession with bright ombré tips. The appeal was in the semi-permanent formula, lasting around six to eight weeks depending on hair condition and colour.

Fox originally debuted the red few weeks back, but only shared the how-to on TikTok after her son Valentino’s babysitter was quoted hundreds by a salon when Fox’s DIY job was the reference. Her process is simple: apply the dye all over from roots to ends (protecting the hairline with a little coconut oil), leave on for longer than instructed, and then rinse. In the comments section, some professionals have called out the fact she should have added conditioner to help with longevity, but Fox will do as she wants.

Unfussy and a little faded, the look is cool and and completely aligned with her chaotic sense of style. If you feel inspired to undertake a similar temporary hair transformation, lucky for you Manic Panic is still very much available. Find Fox’s Red Passion shade of choice linked below.
