Splat Semi-Permanent Hair Color Dye Midnight Ruby 6 fl oz — Vegan, Cruelty-Free Vibrant Ruby Red

Splat Midnight Ruby is a vegan, cruelty-free semi-permanent hair dye that delivers rich ruby-red color without commitment or harsh chemicals.

Designed for at-home creative color, this 6 fl oz tube gives vibrant, temporary red tones that fade gradually over multiple washes. The formula is free of animal-derived ingredients and not tested on animals, making it suitable for ethically minded colorists. The kit includes one pair of disposable gloves and clear application instructions to help you achieve an even finish.

How long will Midnight Ruby last on my hair?

Longevity depends on your hair’s porosity, previous color, and how often you wash it. Expect vivid color for several washes with gradual fading; pre-lightened hair will show the truest red, while darker hair may yield a subtler tint.

• On pre-lightened or blonde hair: brightest, longest-lasting results.
• On virgin dark hair: may show as a subtle or deep mahogany tint.
• Shampoo frequency and water temperature influence fade rate.
• Use color-safe products to extend vibrancy.

How do I apply this semi-permanent dye safely at home?

Follow the included instructions closely and always wear the provided gloves to avoid staining your hands. Section hair, apply evenly from roots to ends, and monitor processing time—45 minutes for most hair, up to 60 minutes for thicker or coarser textures.

• Wear the included gloves to protect skin and nails.
• Apply to dry, detangled hair for consistent coverage.
• Processing time: 45 minutes; up to 60 minutes for thicker hair.
• Rinse with cool water until water runs clear to lock color.

Will Midnight Ruby damage my hair or alter texture?

As a semi-permanent dye, this formula deposits color onto the hair shaft rather than permanently altering its structure, so it is generally gentler than permanent dyes. However, condition and previous chemical treatments will affect texture and absorption; perform a strand test if uncertain.

• Semi-permanent chemistry avoids oxidative development for reduced structural change.
• Conditioning effects vary—use a hydrating mask after coloring if hair feels dry.
• Do a patch and strand test before full application for best safety and color preview.
• Not recommended for use on chemically compromised hair without professional advice.

How can I maintain or refresh the color between applications?

Keep color vivid longer by washing with cool water and using sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners. For subtle refreshes, try a color-depositing mask or reapply the semi-permanent dye as needed to maintain depth.

• Use gentle, color-preserving haircare products.
• Limit hot tools or use heat protectant sprays to reduce fade.
• Refresh with a quick reapplication or a pigmented conditioner.
• Store the product in a cool, dark place to preserve potency.

Who this is for: Splat Midnight Ruby suits adventurous self-stylists who want bold red tones without long-term commitment and who prefer vegan, cruelty-free beauty choices. It’s ideal for people with pre-lightened or lighter brown hair seeking vivid ruby results, and for darker hair wearers wanting a rich, low-commitment tint. If you prioritize ethical formulas and at-home convenience, this semi-permanent dye offers an easy way to experiment with red hues while following safe application steps.
