Glossy cherry cola hair is popular on social media, and Splat Midnight Black Cherry is a bold, high-impact red-violet shade designed to make it easier to achieve this aesthetic at home, without pre-lightening or a trip to the salon. This one-step semi-permanent formula for medium blonde to medium brown hair offers a fun, low-commitment way to try the in-demand look that lasts up to 30 washes and softly, naturally fades to eliminate the high cost and upkeep of traditional color processes.
For brunettes and those with deeper hair colors, the dream of switching things up often comes with a frustrating reality—achieving a noticeable color change typically requires aggressive lightening processes that leave hair brittle, dry and compromised. Splat Hair Color's no-bleach Midnight Black Cherry was specifically formulated to deliver visible, dimensional color on naturally darker hair bases.
