Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love Splat and I have been using it for over a year. I've tried just about every brand of purple hair dye, and this is by far the best! It lasts for about 4 months on my hair and then fades to a lavender that is very pretty--I like it even better than the initial color! My natural hair color is a medium ash blonde, and I've never had to bleach it, the Splat just covers it right up. I know lots of people like special effects, but this color is much stronger and lasts a lot longer, and it is very gentle on your hair without any damage or stripping. I've applied Splat "lusty lavender" about 8 times, and here are my "pro tips":
1) The color will change in intensity depending on how much product you put in your hair during dying. If you don't put in enough goo, it will turn out very light. I think the reviewers who got a pink color just didn't use enough product. If you use a ton of it, it will be very dark and deep. If you use a medium amount, it will be a medium purple. Be sure to comb it all the way through so it's not streaky. Buy two boxes--that way you know you will have enough, and if you have extra you can use it for root touch-ups! Also, make sure your hair is perfectly squeaky-clean and un-conditioned before you apply--if it's oily at all, the dye won't soak in as well.
2) It will stain your skin--use petroleum jelly on your ears, neck and forehead. ALL good hair dyes stain your skin, if it's something that soaks into your hair, it's going to soak into your skin too. I always use latex gloves when applying and rinsing, because they fit better than the dumb plasticky gloves. Also, put down some glad press n' seal on the bathroom counter top.
3) When you get the dye in, pin or clip your hair up and wrap your head in press n' seal. I usually let it sit for a couple of hours. It's just a stain, not a developer, so it won't fry your hair. You could leave it in all day if you want to. Also, don't shampoo your hair for a week or so after you dye it, so that it has time to "set".
4) When you rinse it out, your hair will not rinse clear unless you are using cold water. If you use warm water, the water will always be a little pink, even after a few months of shampooing, but it's not a big deal.
5) Your towels will become purple. As long as your hair is wet, it will stain towels, pillowcases, and your neck, but when your hair is dry it won't stain at all. If you sleep a little bit sweaty, it might re-hydrate the dry hair next to your face and stain your skin a little bit pink, so for the first week or so, try to keep it away from your face and neck while your sleeping.
6) Compared with other hair dyes I've used, it rinses out of the tub really easily. If something is stained, you can dissolve the stain with an ammonia-based cleaner and give it a go with a Mr. Clean magic eraser and it will come right off.
7) People will stare at you! I sometimes forget that my hair is purple, and then I'm like, "jeez, why am I getting all these weird looks?" ;-)
