Splat Midnight Magenta Semi Permanent Hair Dye Kit, 1 Application, Includes Deep Reconstructor Conditioner, Lasts 30 Washes, No Bleach Required, Vegan & Cruelty Free Hair Color

Love this color, I use it every few months and it lasts the whole time. It IS messy and it's going to stain whatever it touches so I suggest covering your bathroom and your skin. I use gloves, put vasoline around my temple and wear and old long sleeve shirt. I save up cardboard and packaging and literally cover my bathroom like a serial killer but...it works and the results are worth it because I've tried all kinds of other companies (not sure I can name them here) and Splat is the only one that gives me deep, rich colors that last until I re-dye them months later. If you change colors often then this isn't the right type of dye for you.

Great color!!! I've had purple hair for 10 years now, and I've been using this particular shade for the majority of that time. Other brands like arctic fox just don't last as long as splat. Let me tell you everything I know from my experience with using this color for years!!!! This shade is definitely a more blue tone when you first use it. I have medium brown hair that I lighten to a level 8 or higher blonde. This color looks almost completely dark blue, similar to the character Coraline, when first applied. It slowly fades to a beautiful, rich, deep purple shade over time. Eventually it will even lighten to a magenta shade, and then to pink. Again, this is all on bleached hair, so I can't speak for the fade on unbleached hair. This color typically lasts without touch ups for 6 months to a year for me, but many variables can impact fade time. I can safely say that with my hair care routine, soft water, and general hair type, I can go at least a year without touching up anything but my roots with this dye. I can NOT say the same for any other brand of hair dye that I've tried!!! I typically leave my hair dye in overnight, my hair is naturally almost 3ft long (it is 35in or 89cm to be exact) and very healthy. I have never experienced any changes in hair shedding, growth, or damage while using this dye. It is not any more unsafe for hair than any other dye on the market that I've used, which is a fair amount of hair dye brands. The people who say its damaging and will ruin your hair are only talking about if you are prone to changing your hair color often, as splat is notoriously difficult to bleach out of your hair. I can attest to this, as when I bleach over an already dyed portion of my hair, the purple will change to a green color and my roots will turn a normal brassy blonde color. I can imagine that would be a very annoying thing to color correct. If you have intentions of keeping your hair mostly blonde or plant to keep your next hair color somewhere similar on the color wheel, the I doubt you will have any issues with this dye. Also, if you read the box and instructions, I'm pretty sure it says that it's only made to be used on unbleached hair if it's a medium brown color or lighter. Darker hair colors will usually have less luck getting this color to stick. Hair care also matters a lot with getting a long lasting color. Hard water, sulfates, and frequent washing can strip dye from your hair very quickly. Low porosity hair might not absorb dye as easily when unbleached. Bleaching not only removes color from your hair, but also opens the cuticle and allows more opportunity for hair dye to deposit into your strand. It is important to remove product buildup before you dye your hair as well, since product buildup can also interfere with how the color takes. Also!!! A tip to get stains off of surfaces!!!! Use undiluted castile soap (I like Dr.Bronners unscented baby soap because it's safe to use around pets) and pour it onto whatever surface got stained. Scrub it in, without using any water yet! Then, once you've scrubbed real good, rinse it off with regular tap water. This should remove the majority of dye stains. It got like 99% of the dye off my cabinets, sink, floor, and bathtub. I also used this same method to help get around 75% of the dye off of my skin, but please be careful if you have dry or sensitive skin because undiluted castile soap can be a bit harsh.

My hair is naturally pretty dark and I've never found another product that would actually show up on it without bleaching. This has worked every time. I've also tried the Midnight Tanzanite, it showed up, but less, and was closer to a blue than a purple. I tried the red, too, once, but it faded to a shade that wasn't good on my skin so I'm sticking with the Midnight Amethyst. I do it about every 6-8 weeks and I honestly think just putting layer over layer has given it more depth and dimension than I had the first few times. I've used this shade of Splat for a few years now & I get more compliments than I ever got from anything a stylist did so I'm sticking with it. The thing is, you have to do it correctly or you'll end up with all the complaints you see in these reviews. If you have patience, you end up with good colour that will last many washes and won't leave stains everywhere. It's still a depositing colour (not one that actually enters the cuticle of the hair) so no, you don't want to get caught in a rainstorm but it doesn't need to stain your pillowcase either. Def use a junky towel to dry it the first few times but I rarely get anything stained anymore. Here are my recs: 1: Leave it in longer than it says, esp for very dark hair. Based on the instructions, I should leave it up to 45min; I regularly leave it in another 10-15 min. This gives you a little extra "buffer" for when you go to rinse it out so you don't lose as much in the first wash. It's best if someone else applies it, either way stop about 1/4" away from the scalp. It will expand & seep to the roots anyway and it leaves less left on the scalp, which you'll see is better. 2: Cover it with a plastic cap/bag while it processes. The warmth opens the cuticle & lets a tiny bit in which helps it last. Also then it doesn't drip on your face while you're waiting. Get gloves that are close at the wrist, like at the doctor's office. They give you a pair with the kit but they stick out all stiff & make it harder to keep things clean. 3: Plan to spend a LOT of time in the shower to rinse it out and expect it to look like a crime scene in the process. I put my showerhead on the highest pressure with the water as cool as I can stand and put my head back & just rinse & rinse & rinse. I wear gloves in the shower so I can use my fingers to work the product off my scalp, which is where a lot of it will end up. Rinse the shower every few minutes, too, it'll help keep it clean..er. lol 4: Use a low or neutral pH shampoo, and (gloves still on) lather it up, mostly into your scalp - NOT your actual hair (overall general good rule anyway). The hair is where you want the colour to stay & enough shampoo will trickle there to clean it. Most of the "weeks later I'm still getting stains" is from what's left on the scalp, I promise you. I didn't used to wash it as thoroughly or rinse as long and it makes a difference. 5: High pressure, cool water, rinse rinse rinse rinse rinse. If you've been thorough, your water will *almost* be clear now. If not, and if there's still a lot of colour, do another light shampoo and rinse more. The conditioner they give you in the kit is fine. My hair is shorter so it lasts me a few washes but def use *some* sort of light conditioner. 6: BE SURE TO END WITH COOL/COLD WATER - EVERY TIME YOU WASH IT. I despise a cold shower but to keep my hair nice I gut up & use cool. That will help more than you can imagine. Here are 2 shots of my hair with this product, one in full sun and the other inside (IDK what the white outline is about, it's from my stylist). The price here is about what I used to pay at the bullseye store but nobody seems to carry it anymore IRL so here we are. Price is very fair for how much I like it (and considering the hundreds I'd have to pay a good stylist). I love my Splat and will always recommend it to folx who will take the time to do it right.

Ich hab schon viele Produkte ausprobiert, doch keins hat mir wirklich gefallen, da sie entweder garnicht färbten oder die Farbe nicht gepasst hat. Ich hab schon fast die Hoffnung aufgegeben, da ich von Natur aus dunkelbraune bis fast schwarze Haare habe. Dieses Produkt hat mich positiv überrascht. Allerdings müsst ihr aufpassen, dass nichts auf dem Boden kleckert oder es nicht auf eure Haut kommt. Die Farbe bleibt nämlich und ist ziemlich hartnäckig.. auch beim abwaschen blieb die Farbe in der Wanne.. :/ (nicht mit nassen Haaren schlafen! :D ) Aber das kriegt man mit den richtigen Produkten auch schon leicht weg^^ Ich habe dieses Produkt bis jetzt nur einmal verwendet und war damit jetzt schon 9x duschen und die Farbe ist immer noch perfekt!! Ich würde es wieder kaufen. ^^

got to say been using black hair dye for 25 years and so glad I tried this , Was a little worried about the fact that I'd read it was a more liquid consistency than most hair dyes which it is but despite that I found it made less mess and easier to apply to long hair . The colour is the best thing it is a true rich black and my hair is not fading after several washes and is a lot shinier . Just really pleased with it and will stick to this in future

Hammer Haarfarbe. Habe damit meine roten Haare überfärbt. Sie sind komplett schwarz geworden 😊eine andere Haarfarbe hat das noch nicht geschafft bei mir...

Splat are by far the best product for a bright and flashy color that last a long time. Yes it stain, but it will last a long time . I dye my daughter's hair often in different shade . And i always go for splat first..never dissapointed so far

Bonne coloration
