SPLAT TIP: When applying the dye, feel free to let it soak in for a long time (at least an hour and a half). The longer the color soaks in, the more "true to the box" your results will be, and it will last longer.
Uneven Results: Leaving dye in for too long can result in uneven color distribution, particularly if the dye has a different processing time for different hair types or colors. Staining: The dye can stain the skin, nails, or surrounding areas more if left on longer, leading to more difficult cleanup.
Blue dye may lift relatively quickly, but you may need to leave it on for 15-30 minutes, depending on your hair's condition and the depth of the color. Rinse and Condition: Once you achieve the desired lightness, rinse out the bleach thoroughly with cool water and use a deep conditioner to help restore moisture.
For long lasting color, wait 48 hours or longer to shampoo your hair.
It's a temporary color so it should last 4 to 6 week.
After coloring, be sure your hair is COMPLETELY dry before going to bed or dressing.
Shake Splat Color bottle thoroughly prior to applying color to hair. WAIT TIME: Process color for 5 to 30 minutes depending on how bold you want your color. The shorter the processing time, the lighter the color will be.
It's generally recommended to wait at least 24-48 hours after dying your hair before washing it to ensure the color has properly set. Also, using a color-safe shampoo and conditioner can help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your hair color.
Splat Hair Colors are a semi-permanent direct dye meaning it sits outside the hair surface and dyes the cuticle of the hair. Think of this as the paint of hair color because there is no chemical reaction from developers and oxidative hair color. Less damage and more fun!
In case you do leave hair dye on your hair for too long rather than rinsing it at the recommended time, you could end up with a hair color that is much darker than the color you were hoping for. Even worse, your hair might end up brittle, over-processed and unnatural looking.
To preserve the vibrancy of your new color, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Minimize washing your hair with hot water, as it can cause color fading. Consider using dry shampoo between washes to maintain the color's longevity.
We often get the question: how long do you have to let the hair dye sit before rinsing it out? The answer is, you always have to let the dye sit for at least 35 minutes from the moment you've finished applying all of the dye. After 45 minutes the dye loses it's effect so it's no use letting it sit any longer.
This product will stain. Avoid rinsing color in shower since color may transfer to body and surfaces.
Splat Color Crush will begin to fade in 5-10 washes. A complete fade out will be more visible at around 10 washes and will depend on the texture and porosity of hair.
Leaving hair dye in too long can lead to hair damage, breakage, and overly dark or unexpected color results. In the worst-case scenario, it might even lead to hair loss. So, it's generally not recommended to keep that dye in for longer than the instructions tell you to.
The best thing to do is to avoid shampooing directly after dyeing your hair. Instead, rinse with cold or lukewarm water to avoid washing the color away.
To keep your new hair colour vivid and bright, we recommend washing your hair with cold water (as cold as is bearable). Cold water keeps the hair cuticles closed and therefore stops the colour running out and fading too soon. Warm water is the enemy!
Dye residues left on the scalp can cause itching, redness, or even more severe allergic reactions. Washing the hair immediately removes these residues and reduces the risk of such unpleasant side effects.
Once you've covered all sections, gently massage the dye into your hair to ensure it penetrates evenly. Avoid rubbing too vigorously, as this can cause damage. Wait for 30-60 minutes and let the semi-permanent hair color deposit. Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear.
You have a few different options. If you have a Sally's near you pick up either Malibu Direct Dye Lifter or Beyond the Zone Radical Color Remover both of those products are designed to remove direct dyes like Splat. You could also do a bleach bath with equal parts powder lightener, developer, and shampoo.
Heat and Humidity: High temperatures and humidity levels can open the hair cuticle, allowing color molecules to escape more easily. Additionally, excessive sweating can cause color to bleed or fade faster.
