If you have very dark or processed hair, plan to pre-lighten your hair a few days before applying your Splat hair dye in case you have to complete the process of lightening your hair more than once. Black hair or hair that is currently dyed dark will often turn to a red tone before a blonde base can be achieved. If you are pre-lightening or bleaching your hair, also remember that depending on how dark your hair is, it may take a few sessions to lift your hair to a light blonde level.
