Coloring with Phantom Green: Your Green Hair Guide
So you've decided to join the green side? Here's the lowdown on everything you need to know about coloring your hair with Phantom Green:
Prepping for Green Hair Glory
Level Up Your Hair Game: Remember, Phantom Green is a semi-permanent dye, which means it's like a temporary tattoo for your hair. The brighter you want your green, the lighter your base needs to be. Think levels 8 or lighter for the most vibrant results. Darker hair will show a subtle emerald tint, which can be super cool too!
- Strand Test, ALWAYS: This hair coloring 101. Do a strand test before committing to a full head of green. It'll help you see how the color reacts with your hair and avoid any surprises (like accidentally looking like a highlighter).
- Patience is a Virtue (Especially with Green Hair): Leave the dye on for 30-60 minutes. The longer you rock the green goo, the more vibrant the color payoff will be.
- Color-Safe is the Only Way: Using a color-safe shampoo and conditioner, like Resurrected is key to making your green hair last longer. Think of it as a shield against color fade!
Choosing Your Green Hair Journey: Base It On Your Hair
As we mentioned before, your hair's natural shade (or what we color experts call the "base") plays a big role in how Phantom Green will show up. Here's a cheat sheet to get you started:
- Level 7-10 Light Blonde Hair: This is the golden ticket for Phantom Green! Get ready for a super vibrant, true green that'll turn heads.
- Level 6-7 Light Brown Hair: The green will show up as a more muted emerald green, perfect for a mystical vibe.
- Level 5-6 Medium Brown Hair: You'll see a subtle green tint, adding a touch of mermaid magic to your locks.

Get Faded: How Phantom Green Fades
The good news is, Phantom Green fades beautifully! It goes out with a bang, transforming into a lighter version of itself over time, so you won't have to worry about any major color shifts. To keep your green hair looking fresh and fab, we recommend using a few drops of color mixed into your favorite conditioner like our fave, Resurrected Conditioner (wink, wink). It's like a green hair mask that keeps the vibrancy going strong!
