Tips for Mixing Like a Pro! 👩‍🔬

• Play with Ratios: Don't be afraid to experiment! Start with a little and add more until you find your perfect potion. 🧪
• Strand Test: Always do a strand test to see how the colors mix and how they look on your hair. You want to ensure it’s a match made in hair heaven! 😇 
• Protect your skin: Avoid staining on your skin by using vaseline on your ears, hairline, and neckline. Use tools like gloves, bowls, and brushes to get the most use out of your dye and prevent unnecessary messes. 🧼
• Condition Like a Queen: Arctic Fox dyes are free of harsh chemicals, but don’t forget to follow up with a great conditioner to keep your locks looking shiny and healthy. 💁‍♀️💖

Hey Fox Fam! Today I’m spilling ALL of the tea about Arctic Mist Diluter. If you've ever dreamt of rocking those pastel shades or creating your own custom color blend, this little bottle of magic is about to become your new bestie. 😌🤍👯‍♀️

Imagine this: you've got that perfect shade in mind—maybe it's a soft lavender or a delicate baby blue—but you're not quite sure how to achieve it without ending up with a neon surprise. 😱 Enter Arctic Mist Diluter, the hero of our hair color adventures! 🤩

It’s not necessarily a dye and it’s not a toner…. So what is it?😳

Well, think of it as the chill pill for your color.🧊💊 Arctic Mist Diluter is a dye base, without pigment added to it. This miracle mix tones down the intensity of our vibrant Arctic Fox shades, giving you the power to customize your color to exactly how you want it! It's like having a palette where you can mix and match until you find your perfect hue. 🌈🥰

You might be thinking, “Can’t I just use a conditioner that’s already in my shower instead?” but that would be a rookie mistake! 👎🛑 😵‍💫 The difference being, conditioners usually have oils or silicone that can prevent the pigment in the dye from sticking correctly to your hair, causing a patchy or faded result.🥴 NO THANKS! I’ll stick with Arctic Mist Diluter instead. 😅

Here’s why I love it:

It’s super easy to use! Just add a few drops to your favorite Arctic Fox shade until you reach the desired level of pastel perfection. 😍 Want a slightly lighter shade? Add a bit more. It’s all about experimenting and having fun, without the fear of ending up with a color catastrophe. So go ahead and embrace your inner artist!👩‍🎨 

And guess what? It’s not just for pastels.😏 You can use Arctic Mist Diluter to create custom shades, tone down a color that turned out bolder than expected, or even just to give your current hue a softer, dreamier vibe.☁️✨

Just remember, the lighter the color, the lighter the hair needs to be in order for the color to show, so make sure your hair is lightened to an appropriate level for your goal shade to get the best results!☝️⚡

Pro Tip: Use our Bleach Please collection to get the perfect starting base!

Oh, and did I mention it’s vegan and cruelty-free? Yep, Arctic Fox always has our furry friends in mind, so you can feel good about using our products.🐰💕🌿

Whether you're a seasoned color pro or dipping your toes into the world of DIY vibrant hair for the first time, Arctic Mist Diluter is here to make your life easier and your hair dreams come true. 🥳 It’s like having a stylist in a bottle, ready to help you achieve Instagram-worthy locks.💇‍♀️

Want to start getting creative with your AF shades and don’t know where to start? Well take a deep breath because you are exactly where you need to be 💕 The last thing we want to do is overwhelm you, so allow us to ease you into some information and a few of my favorite beginner friendly mixes to achieve a custom shade! 

Pro Tip ✨: It is important that before applying a mix of shades to your hair that you perform a strand test to be sure the outcome on your hair is what you’re looking for. It is much easier to adjust the shades in the bowl than it is after you’ve already colored your hair ☺️

Let’s first go over the 5 things to ask yourself before you color your hair and understanding the best AF colors for your undertone, as this is the best place to start, if you’re unsure. Now, if you aren’t familiar with the color wheel, here’s a full explanation on how to easily understand the magic of mixing! Once you’ve got an understanding of this, you’re ready to go.

Purple AF: Purple is a VERY versatile color simply because it’s a combination of warm and cool tones, made with red and blue. Just about any color or mix can include Purple AF for added depth and can also be used for color correcting, fixing brassy tones, adding to blue dye to counteract green results OR you can add a few drops to your conditioner to create your own purple shampoo! Moral of the story, if you’re a custom color addict like us or you’re just beginning your custom color journey, purple is a must-have so let’s jump right in!

For a deep cobalt hue, use a half-and-half ratio of Purple AF and Poseidon, or for a more pigmented shade use Aquamarine instead of Poseidon!

Adding in less purple will achieve this gorgeous blue, so I’d recommend starting with a base of Poseidon and adding in small amounts of Purple AF until you’ve reached your desired shade. 

However, for a more purple leaning shade, I’d recommend a base of Purple AF and slowly incorporating your Poseidon for a “blurple”! 

Now, if you didn’t know already, purples look SO good with other purples and Purple AF is the perfect shade to punch up our other purple shades. For example, here is a base of Girl’s Night + Purple AF for a vibrant indigo:

More Purple AF mixes: 

Basically, Purple AF is a necessity when it comes to mixing and can also be used to cover leftover green, red, orange, or blue tones that simply won't budge 🍇  💅

Pro Tip ✨: If you haven’t noticed it by now, when mixing, we suggest using the lighter shade as your base and adding the more pigmented shade in smaller amounts to not overpower your lighter base shade. This allows you to control the colors easily! 

Ritual: This color is a gorgeous burgundy all on its own, but today we wanted to showcase some of the awesome mixes you can create with this versatile tone! Whether you’re looking for a deep, dark red, or a soft, smoky pink, the possibilities are limitless. 

Base of Poison and added in Ritual for this hot look 🤤

Believe it or not, this mix of Sunset Orange, with a bit of Cosmic Sunshine and a drop of Ritual created this must have ginger shade 🤩

A moment for Ritual alone because she’s stunning 👏

🤤 Okay okay okay. We still have so many mixes to get to! 🏃‍♀️

How about a base of Ritual and Wrath for when you’re feeling a merlot moment? I’ll cheers to that 🍷

More Ritual Mixes: 

Note: Arctic Mist is not a dye, toner, or lightening product. This diluter will have no effect on the hair if applied by itself - it’s meant to be mixed with other colors to create custom shades.

Up next… Aquamarine! 

Aquamarine is one of our most pigmented blues with aquamarine/teal undertones. If you’re looking for an easy to mix shade, this is it! Starting strong with one of my favorite Aquamarine mixes: 
Aquamarine + Phantom Green 🌱: The jewel toned green can be achieved by combining two super pigmented shades! Starting with Phantom Green, slowly incorporate small drops at a time of Aquamarine for an unreal shade, guaranteed to turn heads.

I mean, c’mon! …

If you’re wanting more of a blue mix, we have this Poseidon + Aquamarine mix, which is a base of Poseidon and slowly incorporates Aquamarine until you get to your preferred custom shade.

For an extra deep blue, try Blue Jean Baby + Aquamarine 👇 Lots of Blue Jean Baby and small add-ins of Aquamarine. 

Maybe you want something on the lighter/softer side? PERFECT because this next mix is just that and it’s gorgeous! 

Diluted Aquamarine and Neverland (base of Neverland + drops at a time of Aquamarine + Diluted using our Arctic Mist Diluter) 

You could also try adding in a bit of Iris Green to your Aquamarine + Neverland mix (without diluter).

One of the last shades that I’d like to showcase is Sunset Orange. It may not seem like it at first, but Sunset Orange is a surprisingly versatile shade and can be used in lots of different mixes for custom colors! As you may or may not know, she is BRIGHT and on her own, this shade is a jaw dropper. However, let’s unveil some of these mixes, shall we? 😏 Buckle up, Fox Fam.. She’s coming in HOT!

Sunset Orange + small drop of Cosmic Sunshine.

Sunset Orange + 2 drops or so of Cosmic Sunshine

Sunset Orange + Purple AF for a rich red

Looking for an even spicier red? How about a base of Poison + Sunset Orange added in? 

Sunset Orange + Electric Paradise? Yes, please! This mix can be used to achieve that peachy vibe 🍑
