    Mocha Mousse Hair Color: How to Rock Pantone’s Color of the Year with Arctic Fox

    Mocha Mousse Hair Color: How to Rock Pantone’s Color of the Year with Arctic Fox

    2025 is here and Pantone just dropped their Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse! ☕🤎 This warm, earthy shade has us dreaming of cozy mornings with a cup of coffee, soft sweaters, and of course, stunning hair transformations.😏 So, grab your dye bowls and brushes because we’re breaking down how to achieve and SLAY this trend using Arctic Fox Hair Color. Let’s make this the year of rich, mocha vibes.🍫✨

    What is Mocha Mousse?🤔

    Mocha Mousse is the ultimate blend of soft brown and warm undertones, creating a shade that is luxurious and grounding.✨ Think creamy coffee tones mixed with a hint of golden warmth—it’s a hue that radiates coziness and sophistication. Perfect for starting a new chapter in 2025, Mocha Mousse gives off relaxed yet confident energy. It’s earthy, approachable, and pairs beautifully with the neutral and metallic trends we’re seeing everywhere. This shade is also incredibly versatile. Whether you want a full-on monochromatic look or add a contrasting color to your usual bold locks, Mocha Mousse vibes with any aesthetic.😌🧸

    Getting Pantone’s Color of the Year with Arctic Fox🤎

    Ready to make Mocha Mousse your go-to shade? Here’s how you can create this dreamy color using Arctic Fox Hair Color’s vegan and cruelty-free dyes:

    1. Start with a Light Base: If your hair is darker than a medium brown, we recommend lightening it to a level 6 or 7 for the Mocha Mousse tones to really pop. Use our Bleach, Please collection for a gentle, effective lift. 🌟
    2. Mix Your Perfect Shade: To nail the Mocha Mousse look, mix 90% Arctic Mist Diluter, 8% Sunset Orange and 2% Phantom Green. For deeper tones, add a splash of Wrath or Ritual to bring out those rich coffee vibes.🧋 
    3. Application Time: Apply the mixture evenly from root to tip, ensuring every strand is coated. Let it process for 30-45 minutes for that vibrant, long-lasting color we’re known for.😉
    4. Rinse and Reveal: Rinse with cold water to lock in your color and get ready to live your Mocha Mousse fantasy.🤩🌰

    Check out this article in our FAQ for more tips on hair color application!

    Keep Your Mocha Mousse Fresh AF💫

    Once you’ve achieved your perfect Mocha Mousse look, you’ll want to keep it looking fresh and fabulous! Here’s how:

    • Wash Smart: Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, like our Resurrected Shampoo and Conditioner set, to keep your color vibrant for as long as possible.🫧
    • Cold Water Rinse: Always rinse with cold water to seal the hair cuticle and prevent fading.💧
    • Deep Condition: Hydration is key! Treat your hair weekly with a moisturizing mask like Pool Party to keep it soft and shiny.✨
    • Wash Less Often: Keep your Mocha Mousse shade around longer by extending the time between wash days with Dry Shampoo and cute hairstyles.​​👩🏽

    Nail the Trend (Literally!) 💅

    Want to go all in on the Mocha Mousse vibe? Pair your hair with matching nails! Think glossy mocha, matte taupe, or even some gold accents for a chic, cohesive look.

    Powder Bleach vs Liquid Bleach: Which One is Right for Your Hair?

    Powder Bleach vs Liquid Bleach: Which One is Right for Your Hair?

    Hey there Fox Fam! Are you ready to ditch the brass and achieve some blonde locks? Then get excited because I'm here to spill the tea on our brand new bleach launch! Introducing Bleach Please Bleach Powder, available in two shades: powder blue and powder white!

    What is Bleach Please  Powder Bleach?

    Not only is Bleach Please Bleach Powder formulated as a quick acting formula to minimize process time, but it's also available in three convenient sizes to perfectly suit your hair lightening needs:

    • Salon-Worthy Performance at Home: Grab the 8.8oz tub, perfect for achieving a full head of blonde or multiple lightening sessions.
    • On-the-Go Touch-Ups: The individual 1 oz sachets offer a mess-free and convenient option for refreshing your roots or adding highlights whenever you need them. For even more value and convenience, these sachets are also available in a 5-pack, perfect for keeping your blonde locks on point at home!

    You’ll be able to get your hands on these variations of our new Bleach Please Powder on the Arctic Fox website! 

    What are the benefits of  Bleach Please  Powder Bleach?

    Bleach Please Bleach Powder boasts ultra-lightening power, lifting hair up to 9 levels for those dream-worthy blonde results. Its versatile application tackles both on-scalp highlights and balayage techniques with ease. Plus, say goodbye to the mess! Our dust-free, no-drip formula makes lightening a breeze. For maximum control, the bleach comes in two stunning options: white for clear visibility during lightening, allowing for perfect monitoring of lift, and blue to neutralize brassiness with its anti-yellowing effect. Achieve your desired level of blonde with the customizable lightening power, and thanks to the super-charged formula, processing time is minimized, reducing the risk of damage. Top it all off, Bleach Please Powder Bleach has a creamy consistency that ensures smooth mixing and application for even, flawless lightening from root to tip. It’s time to take your blonde ambitions to the next level!

    What are the differences between the Blue and White powder?

    Both our White and Blue Powder Bleaches boast serious lightening power, but they excel in different ways. The White Powder Bleach is all about crystal-clear lightening. With its high visibility, you'll be able to monitor the process closely and achieve your desired level of lift with maximum precision. This bleach is perfect for those who crave a blank canvas for vibrant colors or a head-turning platinum blonde.

    On the other hand, the Blue Powder Bleach is a brass-busting babe. The blue pigment works like a built-in toner, neutralizing unwanted orange and yellow tones as it lifts. This results in cooler, brighter blondes that are perfect for achieving an ashy or platinum blonde look. Plus, it creates the ideal base for rocking those pastel hair colors of your dreams – Electric Paradise or Aquamarine, anyone?

    So, the choice is yours! If icy white is your ultimate goal, grab the White Powder Bleach. But if you're aiming to banish brass and achieve a cool blonde masterpiece, the Blue Powder Bleach is your BFF.

    Liquid VS Powder Bleach

    While both powder and liquid bleach can lighten your hair, they offer different experiences.  Powder bleach packs a powerful punch, often containing a higher concentration of lightening agents for faster lifting. It's ideal for achieving dramatic results or going platinum blonde. However, it can be trickier to mix and apply, requiring more precision to avoid uneven lightening.  Liquid bleach, on the other hand, is generally pre-mixed and easier to use, making it a good choice for beginners or those tackling smaller lightening jobs. However, it may take longer to achieve the same level of lift as powder bleach, and some formulas might not be as strong. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your hair lightening goals and your comfort level with using bleach products.

    5 Ways to Bleach Your Hair

    5 Ways to Bleach Your Hair

    Bleached hair is the ultimate canvas for creating literally whatever the f*** you want. Split dyes? Money pieces? Dreamy pastels? Bleach, Please can do it all! And YES, she’s totally DIY friendly! 💅

    We’ve come prepared with not only 5 ways to bleach your hair yourself, but also some tips for using Bleach, Please, to provide you with the easiest DIY experience at home. Prior to bleaching, there’s just a couple of things to ask yourself. 

    How does bleaching work?

    And what is the goal I’m trying to achieve with bleaching?

    So let’s talk about it! 💖


    How does bleaching work? 👱‍♀️


    Essentially, bleach has one job and that’s to open the hair cuticle and dissolve any color from the hair. We’ve formulated Bleach, Please to be as gentle as possible - but at the end of the day, all bleach has the potential to cause damage since it opens up the hair cuticle, which can leave hair feeling dry or rough. Keep this in mind and take care of your hair both before AND after you bleach it! Every Bleach, Please kit comes with full instructions, but the basics of bleaching will always apply. Prior to bleaching, you'll want to give your hair PLENTY of TLC and conditioning! For step by step instructions + before/after care, head over to our blog on How to Bleach Your Hair Using Bleach, Please!


    What is the goal I’m trying to achieve with bleaching? 👀


    Maybe you’re trying to go for a pop of color, an all over bleach, a root touch up or just something fun and unique, we want you to feel confident in doing so! With that, let’s jump into the 5 ways to bleach your hair at home, like a pro! 

    1. Prepping for Pastels 💓

    @cheylist in Virgin Pink and Arctic Mist Diluter

    No matter your hair level (brunette OR blondes), you’re going to need to bleach your hair to a level 10 in order for pastel hair dye to show up the most vividly. Make sure you’re in a well-ventilated room when you’re applying the bleach, and always wear gloves to protect your hands 🤚 All of your hair should be fully saturated for an even lift, and you’ll want to work as quickly as you can to ensure it all lightens to the same level! We also recommend that you stay ⅛ of an inch away from your scalp when using Bleach, Please for best results and to prevent any possible irritation. 

    Since this is an all-over bleach job, we suggest sectioning your hair however is most efficient for you! Need to use mirrors to see the back of your head? DO IT!🪞Just be certain to save the roots for last as they tend to lift the fastest and should be applied AFTER you’ve applied the bleach to the ends of the hair already. Be sure to also check your hair every 5 minutes to avoid over processing ⏳

    ✨ AF Pro Tip: You don’t want to let the bleach sit any longer than 45 minutes regardless of the level of lift, to prevent any serious damage from occurring. Bleach, Please is formulated with some of the best ingredients to prevent damage but remember… it’s still bleach, bestie!

    After bleaching, be sure to take note that your hair may have a yellow hue to it and may need to be toned before applying color or else you may not achieve the pastel shade you’re going for. As your bestie, we can’t allow that to happen! Sooo here is how to create a DIY toner using Periwinkle + Arctic Mist 💛⏩🤍

    After you’ve rinsed the bleach out, allow the hair to dry 65% of the way. While your hair is still damp, mix a few drops of Periwinkle in a bowl of Arctic Mist Diluter, apply this mixture on your hair, let sit for 45 minutes, and rinse. From there, you’re all set to color your hair with the perfect pastel… Just in time for Spring! 🌸🌿🫧

    2. Money Pieces 💰🤑

    @glittersailor in Sunset Orange

    Looking for a low maintenance way to achieve a pop of color? 💥 Money Pieces are the first thing that comes to be mind because of how easy and it is to do with Bleach, Please plus it’s pretty low commitment! 

    All you need to do in order to achieve the perfect money piece at home is evenly separate your face-framing pieces of hair from the front and section them off. Once you’ve got this section secure, tie the rest of your hair back! 

    From here, simply follow the directions included in each Bleach, Please Kit to lighten those front pieces! Apply a stunning color over it and you just created a work of art! 😍

    @lizblendz in Purple AF, Virgin Pink, Arctic Mist Diluter

    Pssst… You can also do just your bangs using the same method! 👇

    @__panterra_yoga__ in Cosmic Sunshine and Sunset Orange

    3. Root Touch Up 🖌️

    If you just wanted to touch up your pastel or you’re going for a Billie Eilish vibe with vivid dyed roots, we got you! 

    @caitlyn_calupad in Poison

    It’s good to know that we have generally thicker hair in the back of the head and thin and more delicate hair in the front, causing the back of the head to take a tad longer to lighten. 

    To best approach this, we recommend separating the hair into 2 different sections… The front face-framing pieces and the back of your head. However, if you’re just looking for color on the top of the head and not necessarily all of your roots, you’d just section off that spot and work at the roots where you’d like to apply the color 🥰

    For all-over root bleaching, the steps are as follows: 

    Starting with the back of your head, you’ll want to clip the majority of your hair up and leave only the very bottom pieces of the hair in the back. Using a dye brush, you’ll apply the bleach to just the roots and continue working your way all the way up the back of your head, until the upper and under sides of each section have been covered in the bleach mixture ☑️

    🏃‍♀️ Quickly and steadily, you’ll now proceed with the front face-framing section that we had separated earlier. Cover all of the roots until you’ve coated them in bleach and as mentioned before, check on your roots every 5 minutes to be certain you don’t leave the bleach on any longer than necessary. Rinse … and you’re ready to go in with your favorite pastel or even bold red! The world is your oyster, babe! 🌈

     4. Split Dye 🧑‍🎤👩‍🎤

    One of the easiest methods to bleach + dye your hair and one of our personal favorites… the split dye! 🤩 I’m sure you’re thinking that you’re just going to section the hair into 2 sections based on where the split dye is going to be (down the middle, split dye on the bangs, horizontally, etc) and you’re absolutely right! … See! You’re a DIY pro already 😜

    Section the hair, follow the instructions provided and save the roots for last. We even love to see one side of the split left uncolored and only bleached. Yep, that’s it! Now for the fun part… the inspo! 

    ✨ AF Pro Tip: You can even just bleach one half of your hair and leave the other half your natural color. This look is such a stylish yet effective way to add some color to your hair and still give the illusion of a multi-colored look!

    @neg4tive_creep in Electric Paradise, Sunset Orange, and Virgin Pink

    5. Bleach Bath

    This method is actually most commonly used to remove a stubborn hair color but this also can help you achieve a blank canvas yet again, to pursue your new hue 😘

    What you’ll need: 

    - Water

    - Dandruff shampoo

    - Bleach, Please Kit

    To start, you’ll want to first attempt a color remover meant for semi-permanent color. If there is still color remaining, go ahead and get started with your bleach bath. Mixing your bleach and developer first, you’ll add in one good squeeze of anti dandruff shampoo (can be a cheap dollar store shampoo or whatever you can get your hands on) and then add in about ⅓ a cup of water or until the mixture appears smooth and not too runny. 

    Applying this mixture to the middle and ends of your hair (avoiding the scalp and roots completely) go ahead and cover only the color-treated hair and let it sit for no more than 5-7 minutes before you rinse. While you’re rinsing, we recommend using a purple shampoo to tone the hair at the same time. This gives you an even outcome and a perfect canvas to begin your new masterpiece!
