What is that? Actually it looks better in the picture than real life. That is me after trying to wash the splotchy faded pink-purple-orange-blonde mess. At this point I had done: 3 hours of mayonnaise mask, 8 hours of vitamin C + shampoo, 3 hours of warm olive oil, 2 hours of lemon juice, and 15 washes of equal parts alcohol + shampoo. (The last one was recommended by Splat customer service. They told me once or twice should do it.)
I am now up to 25 washes of alcohol + shampoo, and another 6 hours of vitamin C mask; but the my hair looks almost exactly the same, so don’t worry about more pictures. Unless you have the cure. Then I will proudly post a picture of my splotch-free hair and dedicate my next blog post to you. Until then, I give up. My hair will just have to grow out. I will pull out my hats.
My last color started out beautifully vibrant purple. It looked great for a couple weeks! Splat Lusty Lavender Semi Permanent Hair Dye
Underneath the purple was shocking pink, which was also fun. (Stop smirking, girl… you have no idea.) Splat Pink Fetish Semi Permanent Hair Dye
Archangela, age 4, also got in on the pink hair.
I think this is my natural color. (A picture from 2009!) I am really curious to see that color again.
Don’t buy Splat if you plan to return to a normal-looking color at some point.
This has been a product review from a frustrated DIYer.

Is Splat a permanent color or Semi permanent, I don’t know the brand. From what I’ve understood Head and Shoulders is a good Shampoo for washing out these semi permanent colors, maybe give that a try ? 🙂 I haven’t tried it since the color fades on it’s own anyway, I’ve used the brand Crazy color! Hope this helps!
Thanks for the tip! My hair is very short now, I trimmed it way up and hope to have the color grown out soon.
