Of course back here in reality, most of us are just going to look like freaks and my color should say "Aren't you too old to be dying your hair pink?"
The truth is, you have to be a bit of a non-conformist, a wild-child, (or wanting to be perceived as one) to even consider Splatting your hair. It's a leap of faith.... after-all... it's permanent. Permanent on your hair, your skin, your tub, your bathroom floor... I'm guessing you might have a few questions before you consider shelling out $12 a box... like, Does Splat work? Yes. Is Splat bright? Yes. (Where do I buy Splat?) Proof is in my hair:
- Liv's hair.
The process was pretty straight-forward for me since my hair was blonde. Just add the dye and wait for 30 minutes. Shannon being blessed with dark-brown hair from her ancestors stealing hub-caps in the Mexican dessert- required an hour of bleaching (bleach is included with the kit, which if not used is useful as an artful project with your pet) followed by a wash and dry then application of dye:
- Shannon dying her hair with raspberry Splat
There's a few things to consider in this process. A), even with Vaseline around your forehead and ears, (I've completely lost the guys at this point) your scalp will be dyed pink (red, green or blue) for days. Start it at the beginning of a non-social weekend. Secondly... your shower apparently will never run clear (or at least it hasn't yet for me after 3 showers), so you take pink showers for awhile. Nothing makes you feel more feminine than pink showers. It's equally impressive to wear all-white and go out in the rain. Lastly be prepared for everyone you know to say "OMG" on FaceBook, life, and (I'm expecting) at school.
- Shannon's hair.
So if blondes have more fun, what do pink-heads do? (Don't answer that.) Bottom line, I'm waiting for my chance to go to my country-bumpkin neighborhood grocery store and watch the men in overalls carrying a Bible to gasp in horror as they clutch their wives crosses around their necks. Yes... I'm not like you, any of you, and now (if you didn't already know), I'm am nothing like you... and that's okay.
Looks great on the ten year old's blond hair though and Ave ended up doing the blue black, then bleaching the underneath so it's a bright strawberry blond...now THAT looks cool; especially after I cut some layers into it to accentuate the curls and that under layer. 
And I now have copper colored hair with a hot pink streak in the front. My daughter says I look like a clown...like that's something new for me.
