Billie Eilish Green Hair: How to Recreate the Look
Ever stared at Billie Eilish's legendary green roots and thought, "I need that in my life"? Same, bestie. That iconic two-tone look with electric green roots and deep black ends is totally achievable at home with the right products and technique. Let's break down how to channel your inner Bad Guy with Arctic Fox Hair Color!
Step 1: Lighten Your Roots with AF's Bleach Please Collection
First things first—to get that vibrant green hair color to pop, you'll need a light base. Arctic Fox's Bleach Please collection has everything you need:
Bleach Please Kit: Contains all the essentials needed for lifting your hair color safely.
Blue Powder Bleach: Perfect for neutralizing brassy tones while lightening.
White Powder Bleach: Easily monitor lifting throughout the process thanks to its colorless nature.
Only lighten the top section where you want the green to go. Aim for a pale yellow base, this will make your green absolutely electric!
Step 2: Dye Time with Space Cowgirl and Transylvania
Now for the fun part—adding those signature Billie colors:
Space Cowgirl: This vibrant lime green hair dye is the secret to nailing Billie's iconic root color.
Transylvania: The perfect deep black hair dye for those dramatic ends.
Application tips: Apply Space Cowgirl first, saturating your pre-lightened roots completely. Work the hair color in thoroughly for even coverage. Then, apply Transylvania to your ends, creating that sharp contrast.
Leave the dye on for at least 30 minutes—though longer processing time (45-60 minutes) will give you more intensity and staying power.
Step 3: Rinse and Aftercare
This step is crucial to keep those colors from mixing! Rinse with cold water starting at the ends and gradually working up to the roots.
Pro tip: Apply conditioner to your black ends before rinsing the green section—this creates a barrier that prevents the black from bleeding into your fresh green.
For maintenance, use color-safe products like Arctic Fox's Resurrected Shampoo and Conditioner. These gentle formulas will keep your two-tone look vibrant while preventing premature fading.
