This depends on the type of hair color. Bleach is the only thing that removes permanent color. Semi-permanent color can usually be washed away with clarifying shampoo, but splat is tricky. Try a mixture of clarifying shampoo and baking soda.

Permanent color can be removed from skin with specially designed color remover available in beauty supply stores. Stains and semi-permanents usually come off with baking soda mixed with shampoo or liquid soap.

Depending on the darkness of the current dye that's on your hair, it may take a while to remove. The better options wold be for you to use either a color remover kit, or bleach to have a quicker removal.

Does Splat wash out completely?

It should eventually, but it may take many washes. According to the Splat website, some users report the dye staying in their hair for months before it completely comes out.

Staff Answer

Splat usually washes out in about 6 weeks, but it may wash out more quickly if your hair is not bleached. It will also appear more subtle on unbleached hair, so it might look like it’s completely gone sooner than it would otherwise.

Why does Splat bleed when it’s wet?

Staff Answer

Temporary or semi-permanent hair colors sit on top of the hair instead of penetrating into it, meaning they can be rinsed away with water and shampoo. When your hair gets wet, a little of the dye will lift off your hair and wash away.

Question

How do I get splat dye out of my hair immediately?

Community Answer

There is no immediate way, but since the dye is a soap-based, alkaline substance, washing it out with an acidic material along with regular shampoo will get it out quicker. Lemon/lime juice or vinegar works best and won't harm your hair. To do this, wash your hair with shampoo normally and mix in the acidic substance.

Question

If I'm just trying to remove the dye from my scalp without fading the hair too drastically, would the dandruff shampoo help with that?

Lexi tav

Community Answer

It depends on your hair type, but probably yes. Just be sure not to do it too many times, or it will fully go away.

Question

I have bleached my hair. Is there any way to get the bleach out?

Community Answer

If you bleached your hair, there is no way to get the bleach out, because it has already absorbed into your hair. The only way is to dye it back to your original hair color or just wait until it grows out to prevent more damage.

Will Emergen-C work in lieu of vitamin C?

Mackenzie Ford

Community Answer

No, it won't. Emergen-C does contain vitamin C, but you need to use pure vitamin C tablets for this method to work.

Question

How do I stop the hair dye from running days after I dye it?

Belle K.

Top Answerer

Unfortunately, you cannot. The best thing you can do to reduce it is make sure to wash your hair till the color stops in the water each time.

Question

How can I remove dye without lightening my hair? I have natural brown hair but I dyed it blue black with bow dye I want the black out so I can just have my natural brown hair. I don't want to bleach it.

Bunnie Harper

Community Answer

Most color removers will have a slight bleaching effect but using products specifically made for removing dye such as Color Oops will minimize those effects.
