I love Splat! BUT...
First of all, I am a cosmology school graduate and have been dying my hair bright colors for over a decade. I have used every product you can imagine (Artic fox, Manic panic, Ion brights, Wella colorcharm etc.) and I know most stylists are so against Splat! But for me it's my absolute go-to. I would advise those who are not properly educated on bleach to heed this advice though...40 volume developer is not normally used, even for dark hair. It's extremely strong and WILL cause chemical burns if it gets on your scalp. Your hair MUST be dirty so your scalp has natural oils to protect your scalp. Secondly, DO NOT leave it on for long at all. I usually don't leave it on for more than 15 minutes and I have very dark hair. Do not overlap with already bleached hair. If you need to bleach again, cut the time down even more so you don't melt your hair. Use shimmer lights to tone out yellow tones and even a toner or color remover to avoid having to bleach again. Your hair needs to be white for the "neon green" or it will not take properly but most of the other colors will dye over the brassy orange tones just fine. Also, you really need to commit when using Splat. It lasts forever and stains the cuticle. You can easily transition between other bright colors once it fades a bit but it will not be your natural color any time soon. With all of this in mind, Splat ALWAYS delivers. The color is rich, vivid and has serious staying power. I get tons of compliments every time I use it and will forever be a Splat customer. The photo is while my hair is wet so it will dry much brighter!
