A personal experience with SPLAT Hair dye

My natural hair color is a dark chocolate brown. Before I returned to my college I dyed my hair with Vidal Sassoon's' Burgundy color. After about a month it faded and I decided to take the plunge and tried SPLAT's "Pure Sapphire" semi-terminate hair dye. Following this is my experience with the hair dye and pictures of the process. Below: is a picture of my hair before I dyed it

I thank my roomie for helping with this process because I couldn't I have done it without her. The first step was to bleach my hair so the color would show up. This step stays on for various times depending on how dark your hair color is. Since mine is almost black I left it on for an hour. After it's been on for an hour you are to rinse it out and let your hair dry before putting the hair dye on. Since my hair is shorter I only had to wait for about 15-20 minutes. Below: is a picture after I bleached my hair (sorry that its sideways)

Now for the next step: the first round of dying your hair the desired color. I say first because my hair is so thick and likes to be a pain to do anything with. After she applied the hair dye it again various on your hair but I left it on for about an hour and then rinsed it again. The only difference about this hair dye from the first one I used was that I had to rinse just the hair dye out first and then I could shampoo it. It yet again had to dry for about 15-20 minutes and I realized the part of my hair didn't even take. Below: is a picture of the first dye

Repeat.... Once again.... So I repeated the previous step yet again. I let it dry after washing it once again and to my surprise it all stayed my only concern was that it look more on the green side rather than blue... great. Below: is a picture of the second dye

So I let it dry and then eventually went to bed. The next morning it looked okay but I was still slightly pissed it didn't look like the box. Below is a picture of the morning after I dyed my hair.

The cons of this hair dye are that a lot of it rinsed out when I rinsed it both times. It also turned my scalp blue and I had to use a shampoo and baking soda mixture on it for about an hour and then scrubbed it off.

If you are looking for a bright, fun, off the wall hair color splat is the hair color for you.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:
