Warm Reds 🔥
Vivid Red
Looking to turn up the heat? Look no further than our boldest, truest red hair dye. Poison is a fiery shade with an orange undertone that keeps it from fading pink.
Turn up the heat to max level when you use Poison on a platinum blonde base, and enjoy a warm fiery tint to dark locks.
Dark Auburn
Mix Sunset Orange with a drop of Purple AF for a deep auburn glow on a level 5 dark brown base. This shade enhances warm undertones and makes green or hazel eyes pop with a rich, autumn-inspired depth.
Cool Reds ❄️
Red Violet
This gorgeous, jewel-toned shade leaves behind a vibey velvet tint on dark bases, and a rich burgundy on level 7 and up. Ritual is THAT girl when it comes to nailing red-violet, dark cherry hair.
Cherry
If you’re looking for a vibrant, playful red hair color that’s full of energy, Wrath is your color of choice!
On hair levels 7 and up you’ll see its most vibrant hue, while dark bases will see a dark, dimensional tint.
Pair it with sleek, edgy hairstyles like a high ponytail or messy waves, and accessorize with silver jewelry for a chic touch.
Burgundy
For a sultry, wine-inspired red, mix 60% Virgin Pink with 40% Wrath on a level 5 dark brown base.
With its deep, berry-toned finish, this shade is perfect for the effortlessly cool trendsetter—the one who turns heads without even trying. It’s bold yet sophisticated, giving off major “it-girl” energy.
FAQ / PRO TIPS 💡
How long does red hair last?
Since Arctic Fox is a semi-permanent dye the colors typically last 2-8 weeks. Longevity depends on your base color, hair health, and routine. Wash with cold water and sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep it vibrant longer.
Can I get these shades on unbleached hair?
Darker bases can effortlessly pull off shades like burgundy and dark auburn with Ritual and Wrath, but if you're craving those vibrant reds and fiery coppers, pre-lightening to a level 8-10 is key. Luckily, Arctic Fox Hair Color’s Bleach Please collection makes the process gentle and effective!
How do I keep my red hair looking fresh?
Red tends to fade faster than other colors, so mix a little dye into your conditioner, minimize heat styling, and limit washes to lock in that fiery glow.
