AF Blog — coverup

So you're rocking some seriously fiery orange hair, but now you're ready for a color switch-up? We've got you covered, babe! Whether your orange came from a previous dye job or an unexpected toning situation, finding the perfect shade to cover it doesn't have to be a guessing game.

Color Theory 101: The Basics You Need to Cover Orange Hair

Before we dive into the juicy color coverups, let's talk color wheel basics. When you're transitioning from one hair color to another, the color wheel is literally your best friend. Here's the tea: you want to choose a shade that sits to the left or right of your current color on the wheel. Why? Because if you pick something directly across from orange (we're looking at you, blue), they might cancel each other out and leave you with some seriously muddy, unwanted tones. Think of it like mixing paint – you want colors that play nicely together and don’t throw shade at each other!

What Color Covers Orange Hair?

Got orange hair that needs a makeover? Your best bet is going with reds or pinks, they'll actually work with the orange instead of against it. Blues, purples, and greens on the other hand? Yeah, those'll turn your hair into a muddy mess real quick. Keep reading for the Arctic Fox shades we swear by for covering orange.

Sunset Orange + Virgin Pink = Hot Pink Hair Color

Let's start with Sunset Orange – the beautiful and bright red-orange hair dye that literally glows like, well, a sunset! It's vibrant, it's bold, and it's absolutely stunning on its own.

But if you're ready to shift into something new, Virgin Pink is about to become your new obsession. Here's why this combo is chef's kiss: This hot pink hair dye with magenta undertones layers beautifully over bright orange hair. The orange undertones add warmth and dimension to the pink, creating a custom color that looks naturally blended. The result is a fiery hot pink with depth that you can't get from just one color alone. It's the kind of shade that makes people ask, "Wait, how did you get that color?"

Important: We recommend doing a strand test first! Test on a small section underneath your hair to make sure you love the result before applying it to your entire head.

Peach Prosecco + Electric Paradise = Dreamy Pastel Coral Pink

Now let's talk about Peach Prosecco – this shade is basically summer in a bottle! It's a soft, pastel peachy-orange with delicate golden undertones that give major beachy vibes. It's much lighter and more muted than Sunset Orange, but still packs that gorgeous peachy punch.

Now here's where it gets interesting: Electric Paradise is a neon hot pink that's incredibly vibrant and eye-catching. But when you layer it over the pastel base of Peach Prosecco, something pretty magical happens. The warm peachy undertones mellow out that electric intensity, transforming it into a soft, dreamy coral pink that's way more wearable than straight neon. You get this beautiful pastel coral shade that has just enough pink to be playful and just enough peach to feel warm and lived-in, think springtime sorbet vibes.

Since Peach Prosecco is a lighter, more pastel shade, it acts like a filter for Electric Paradise – softening the neon punch into something more romantic and subtle. But we still recommend a strand test first! The final result can vary depending on how saturated your Peach Prosecco is.

Ginger Flare + Ritual = Deep Auburn

Last but definitely not least, let's chat about Ginger Flare – this is for our redheads with serious warmth! Ginger Flare is a vibrant orange-red with copper undertones that's basically liquid fire. It's bold, it's spicy, and it's got that true ginger energy we're obsessed with.

To transform this fierce flame into something deeper and more mysterious, Ritual is your go-to shade. Ritual is a stunning deep burgundy-red with jewel undertones, and when you layer it over Ginger Flare, prepare for magic! The result? A rich, multidimensional auburn that has serious depth and complexity. The copper tones from Ginger Flare add warmth to Ritual's cooler burgundy base, creating a color that shifts and changes in different lighting. You'll see hints of copper in the sun and deep wine tones indoors – it's literally like having multiple colors in one!

This combination works great if you want to go darker while keeping some of that fiery warmth. As always, we recommend performing a strand test first – the depth of color will vary based on how bright your Ginger Flare is and your processing time.

FAQ: Your Questions Answered

What color can I dye over orange hair?

Depending on your specific shade of orange hair, red and pink hair dyes work really well. These hair colors complement your orange base instead of fighting against it.

What color cancels out orange hair?

Blue cancels out orange on the color wheel. However, unless you're toning or want to risk muddy results, it's usually better to work with your orange hair color rather than trying to cancel it out completely.

What color covers orange hair without bleach?

Red and pink shades layer beautifully over orange hair without needing to bleach first, making them perfect for a damage-free color change.

What's the hardest color to get out of hair?

Blue and green hair colors are notoriously difficult to remove. These shades tend to stick around long after you're ready for something new, so keep that in mind when planning your next hair color.

Green hair has been having a major moment in the trend cycle! From Meg Thee Stallion's bold lime locks to Billie Eilish's iconic neon green roots, Cardi B's vibrant emerald waves, and Zayn Malik's edgy forest tones—celebrities have been obsessed with this fresh, nature-inspired shade. And honestly? We totally get it. Green is daring, dimensional, and downright gorgeous when you're feeling it.

But here's the thing: once you're ready to let those green vibes go, it can be one of the most stubborn shades to remove from your hair. Green pigments love to hang around longer than that one friend who won't take the hint at 2 AM. But don't worry bestie, we've got your back! We're breaking down our top 5 ways to get green out of hair, plus some bonus tips to make the process as smooth as possible. Let's dive in! 🌿✨

How to Get Green Out of Hair

Everyone's hair is different and will respond differently to each method we're sharing, so do what feels right for your hair and your vibe! We recommend doing a strand test first and working in a well-ventilated space. And if you get stuck or aren't sure what to do next, don't hesitate to reach out to our color specialists. They're total pros and are here to help you figure it out!

1. Wash Your Hair More Frequently in Warm Water

Iris Green fading to blonde

Okay, this one might sound obvious, but trust us—it's your first line of defense against stubborn green tones. Semi-permanent hair dyes like Arctic Fox gradually fade with each wash, so increasing your shampoo sessions is key to speeding up the process of getting green out of your hair!

Here's the game plan:

• Turn up the temperature! Use warm water (not scalding hot—we're not trying to fry your hair) to help open up the hair cuticle and release those green pigments

• Skip the dry shampoo this week—we know it's tempting, but you'll want to actually wash those locks to get the color moving

• Grab a clarifying shampoo or dandruff shampoo like Head & Shoulders. These bad boys are designed to remove buildup and strip away product, which means they'll work overtime on your hair color too

• Wash your hair 2-3 times more often than usual for faster fading

Pro tip: Follow up with a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask after each wash to keep your strands hydrated and happy. All that extra washing can be drying, so show your hair some TLC!

2. Soak Your Hair While Taking an Epsom Salt Bath

Emerald Fortune fading to blonde

Want to fade your green hair while having the most relaxing evening ever? We've got the perfect solution! Epsom salt isn't just for soothing sore muscles, it's also a secret weapon for fading hair color.

How to make it work:

• Fill your bathtub with warm water and add 1-2 cups of Epsom salt

• Soak in the tub and make sure your hair is fully submerged in the water

• Chill for 15-20 minutes (bring a face mask and make it a whole vibe!)

• Rinse your hair thoroughly and follow up with a moisturizing conditioner

The salt helps break down the dye molecules without harsh chemicals, and you get to relax in the process. It's self-care meets hair care, literally a win-win situation! Just keep in mind this method can be a bit drying, so definitely condition afterward.

3. Take a Dip in Chlorine or Salt Water

Neverland fading to blonde

Here's your excuse to hit the pool or beach! Believe it or not, a swim session can actually help fade your green hair color faster. The chlorine in pool water and the salt in ocean water both work to break down hair dye pigments naturally.

Making waves work for you:

• Go swimming! Whether it's laps at your local pool or catching waves at the beach, let the water do its thing

• The chlorine bonds with the hair dye molecules and helps lift them out

• Saltwater has a similar effect, though it can cause extra dryness

• Bonus: sunshine also helps fade color naturally, so outdoor swimming is doubly effective!

Fair warning: If you're planning to dye your hair soon after, this method is perfect. But just know that both chlorine and salt water can be super drying to your strands. Make sure to use a deep conditioning treatment afterward, our Pool Party Hair Mask was literally made for this! And here's a fun plot twist: while chlorine helps to get green out of the hair, it can also cause green tones in blonde or light hair from mineral buildup. Life's funny like that, right?

4. Vitamin C Hair Mask

Phantom Green fading to blonde

Ready for a DIY hack that actually works? Let's talk about vitamin C—not just for immune support, but for color removal too! The acid in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is strong enough to break down semi-permanent hair dye, making it one of the most popular at-home methods for fading color.

How to whip up your vitamin C mask:

• Crush 10-15 vitamin C tablets into a fine powder

• Mix the powder with your clarifying shampoo to create a paste—aim for a consistency that's spreadable but not too runny

• Apply the mixture evenly throughout your damp hair, making sure every green strand is coated

• Let it sit for 30-60 minutes (you can cover your hair with a shower cap to prevent dripping)

• Rinse thoroughly with warm water

• Follow up with a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask—this is non-negotiable!

Why it works: The vitamin C creates an acidic environment that helps oxidize the dye molecules, making them easier to wash out. It's gentler than bleach but more effective than just regular shampooing. You might need 2-3 treatments depending on how vibrant your green is, but it's totally worth it!

5. Color Remover

Space Cowgirl fading to blonde

When gentler methods aren't cutting it and you need results ASAP, a commercial color remover is your best friend. These products are specifically formulated to break down artificial color molecules in semi-permanent hair dyes like Arctic Fox.

How to use a color remover:

• Head to your nearest beauty supply store and grab a color remover designed for semi-permanent hair dyes

• Follow the product instructions carefully—most are applied to dry hair for best results

• Process for the recommended time (usually 20-45 minutes, but check your specific product!)

• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water

• Always, always, ALWAYS follow up with a deep conditioning treatment

Pro tip: Do a strand test first to see how your hair reacts, and make sure you're in a well-ventilated space when using these products.

Color Theory: The Red Solution to Your Green Situation

Okay, here's where we get a little nerdy (but in the fun way). If you're not ready to completely get green out of your hair but want to cover it up or neutralize it, let's talk about the color wheel! On the color wheel, red and green are opposites—which means red tones can actually cancel out and neutralize green tones. Color theory for the win! 🎨

How to cover green with red:

If you're rocking one of our gorgeous green hair color shades and want to switch things up without stripping all the color, red-based dyes are your perfect transition!

Our top red picks to neutralize green:

• Poison: A classic bright red that'll completely transform your look and knock out lingering green shades like Iris Green or Neverland

• Wrath: A vibrant, intense red with serious staying power—perfect for making a bold statement and covering up green hair colors like Space Cowgirl

• Ritual: A deeper, richer red that's absolutely stunning for fall vibes and covers up dark green shades like Emerald Fortune and Phantom Green

Before applying any red hair dye over green hair, make sure your hair is at least partially faded for the most accurate color results. If your green is super vibrant, you might get a muddy or olive-toned result. But if it's faded to a lighter pastel green or just has lingering undertones, red will neutralize it beautifully!

The process:

1. Let your green fade out a bit using the methods above

2. Choose your shade of red hair dye

3. Apply according to the instructions

4. Enjoy your bold new red hair color without any green peeking through!

FAQs: Your Burning Green Hair Questions Answered

What color cancels out green hair?

Red! On the color wheel, red and green are complementary (opposite) colors, which means they neutralize each other. So if you've got a green hair color you want to get rid of, a red-based dye will help cancel it out and give you a fresh new look!

How can I remove green from my hair?

You've got options, bestie! You can wash your hair more frequently with warm water and clarifying shampoo, soak your hair in an Epsom salt bath, create a DIY vitamin C hair mask, go swimming in chlorine or salt water, or use a commercial color remover. For faster results, try combining a few methods (like clarifying shampoo plus the vitamin C treatment). Just remember to deep condition between treatments to keep your hair healthy!

Does ketchup really remove green tint from hair?

Okay, so this sounds wild, but yes—ketchup can actually help with mild green tints in hair! The red color in ketchup neutralizes green on the color wheel (color theory strikes again!), and the vinegar in it helps remove mineral buildup that can cause green tones. That said, it's not a super reliable solution for deeply dyed green hair or intense green shades. If you're going to try it, slather it on like a hair mask, leave it for 20-30 minutes, and then shampoo it out thoroughly. But honestly? We'd recommend using an actual red dye or one of the methods above for better results.

Will Dawn dish soap take color out of hair?

Yes, Dawn dish soap can strip color from your hair, especially direct dyes like Arctic Fox. Its grease-cutting superpowers work on hair color pigments too, breaking them down and washing them away. BUT—and this is a big but—it's super drying and can be pretty harsh on your strands. Only use it as a last resort, and if you do, follow up immediately with a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask. Don't make it a regular thing, or your hair will be crispier than your personality after a Monday morning meeting.

Final Thoughts: Your Green Hair Journey

There you have it, Fox Fam! Whether you're ready to fade your green hair color completely or just want to transition to a new shade, you've got all the tools you need to make it happen. Remember, semi-permanent hair dyes like Arctic Fox are designed to gradually fade over time, so be patient with the process and give your hair lots of love between treatments.

Green might be one of the more stubborn colors to remove, but with the right approach and a little persistence, you'll be ready for your next hair color adventure in no time. And if you loved the green while it lasted, then that's what matters most! Hair color is all about self-expression and having fun.

Look, transitioning from red to purple hair color isn't just possible—it's actually one of the smoothest color moves you can make. 

We've seen thousands of transformations, and this combo consistently delivers stunning results without damaging your hair. Let's break down exactly how to nail it with Arctic Fox.

Color Wheel Logic: Why Covering Red Hair with Purple Hair Dye Actually Works

Quick color theory breakdown: red and purple sit right next to each other on the color wheel, making them natural hair color transition partners. 

This proximity means you can shift from red to purple hair dye without creating those tragic, muddy tones that happen when you try to force incompatible colors together.

This positioning is why you won't need to bleach first—the colors will blend rather than fight each other. Trust us, your hair will thank you.

How to Cover Bright Red Hair Color with Purple Hair Dye

Poison covered with Violet Dream

Got a true red hair color like Poison lighting up your head? Violet Dream is your solution for turning those red locks into a stunning purple moment.

The science here is straightforward: Violet Dream's magenta undertones beautifully complement the orange tones found in Poison, creating a vibrant, warm-toned violet that looks intentional and harmonious rather than accidental.

For flawless application:

1. Start with completely dry, clean hair for maximum color deposit (seriously, don't skip this)

2. Section properly with our Alligator Clips—rushing this step is how you get patchy results

3. Process for 40+ minutes, the longer you leave it on, the more vibrant your color payoff will be

4. Rinse with the coldest water you can stand and only use color-safe hair products

The result is that show-stopping purple hair color that radiates warmth and originality in any environment.

How to Cover Cherry Red Hair Color with Purple Hair Dye

Wrath covered with Purple AF

If you're working with Wrath and its pink undertones, Purple AF is going to be your best friend for making the hair color switch with minimal damage.

This combo works because the pink base in Wrath already has some of the tones you need for purple—you're just pushing it further in that direction with our highly pigmented Fox Fam favorite. 

For this transition:

1. Apply Purple AF to bone-dry hair for intense color payoff

2. Be generous with the product—skimping creates a patchy finish

3. 45 minutes minimum processing time for best results

4. Rinse with cold water and minimal color-safe shampoo and conditioner

You'll end up with a rich, multidimensional purple hair dye color that photographs like a dream.

How to Cover Dark Red Hair Color with Purple Hair Dye

Ritual covered with Sorceress

Are you ready to ditch the deep burgundy of Ritual? Transform your red hair color with Sorceress for a bewitching midnight purple hair color.

Since Ritual already belongs to the darker color palette, the transformation is nuanced yet remarkably striking.

For this darker-to-darker transformation:

• Apply Sorceress thoroughly to clean, completely dry hair

• Allow the dye to process for at least 40 minutes, use a shower cap to contain heat and boost color penetration

• Cold water rinse with color-safe products only

The result is a deep, multidimensional purple with that expensive-looking depth that turns heads.

FAQ: What You Actually Need to Know

Can you put purple hair color on dyed red hair?

Yes, and it's one of the few color transitions that genuinely work without bleach. Adjacent color wheel positioning means you'll get a true purple hair color rather than something muddy.

What colors cover red hair dye?

Purple works best, followed by burgundy and some blues. Don't try green, yellow, or pastel shades directly over red—physics won't allow it without bleach.

Is it possible to change your red hair color without bleach?

Absolutely. With Arctic Fox Hair Color, you can move between adjacent color wheel positions without bleach. Red to purple is a textbook example of this.

How long does purple hair dye last?

Typically 4-8 weeks, with longevity depending on wash frequency, hair porosity, and specific shade. Purple AF’s formula outlasts most competing shades thanks to its concentrated pigment. 

For maximum staying power, wash your hair less frequently with color-safe shampoo, rinse with cold water, and mix your dye with conditioner for a weekly color-depositing hair mask.

Will red undertones show through if I cover red hair with purple hair dye?

Some dimension leftover from the red actually creates depth that a single color lacks. If you want pure purple with zero red hair color, go for a second application with longer processing time.

How do I maintain purple hair color?

Extend your purple hair color for weeks longer by washing with cold water, using homemade color-depositing conditioner with your leftover dye, and limiting heat styling.

Embrace dry shampoo between washes to reduce color fade. UV-protective products and avoiding chlorinated water will further preserve your vibrant purple investment.

Conquering the Red-to-Purple Hair Color Shift

Arctic Fox's vegan, conditioning, semi-permanent hair dye makes this transition not just possible but actually good for your hair. Unlike harsh color removers or bleach, you're adding moisture while changing your look.

Ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Whoa, my blonde is looking more like a traffic cone"? Don't panic! 

Brassy orange tones happen to the best of us, especially after bleaching or when blonde hair color starts to fade. The good news? You've got options that don't involve hiding under a hat for weeks.

Understanding the Color Wheel: Why Blue Neutralizes Orange

Remember that color wheel from art class? It's about to save your hair!

Blue and orange are directly opposite each other, which makes them complementary colors and total besties when it comes to color correction. 

Here's why this matters for your hair: When these opposite colors meet, they cancel each other out! So when your blonde has gone all orange and you're freaking out, reaching for a blue toner isn't just random—it's color theory magic! The blue pigments swoop in and neutralize orange hair, leaving you with the cool, balanced color you actually wanted. 

This is exactly why we all need purple shampoo for yellow tones and blue products for those orange nightmares. Once you get this color wheel trick, you'll never panic over brassiness again!

The Magic of Color Theory: Periwinkle to the Rescue!

Before and after using Periwinkle to tone brassy orange hair

Blue sits opposite orange on the color wheel, which means it neutralizes those warm, brassy tones. 

This is why Arctic Fox's Periwinkle is your new BFF for toning orange hair.

Simply dilute Periwinkle with conditioner (the ratio depends on how intense your orange is) and apply it to dry hair. This creates a gentle, blue-based toner that cancels out the orange without compromising your hair's health. It's like a cool-toned hug for your stressed-out strands!

Apple Cider Vinegar: Your Kitchen Cabinet Savior

When you need a quick fix with what you have on hand, reach for that bottle of ACV! A diluted apple cider vinegar rinse can help remove mineral buildup that contributes to brassiness while balancing your hair's pH.

Mix one part apple cider vinegar with three parts water, apply it to your hair after shampooing, let it sit for 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Your hair will not only look less brassy but will also feel softer and shinier. Win-win!

When All Else Fails: Embrace the Dark Side

If your orange tones are particularly stubborn, sometimes the best solution is to cover them up entirely with a darker shade. Think of it as a hair reset button! Some of our favorite Arctic Fox shades for covering orange hair include:

Wrath: A deep, vibrant red that transforms brassiness into intentional fire-engine fabulousness

Purple AF: A striking violet that makes orange disappear like magic

Transylvania: The ultimate deep black that gives you a fresh start with a dramatic edge

FAQ: Your Orange Hair Questions, Answered!

What color cancels out brassy orange hair?

Blue as it sits directly opposite orange on the color wheel, meaning it neutralizes the warm orange tones; therefore, a blue-based dye like Periwinkle is a great option for toning brassy orange hair.

How to get rid of orange brassy hair at home?

The best way to get rid of brassy toned hair at home is to use the above methods like tone your hair with our pastel blue semi-permanent hair dye in the shade Periwinkle, use a DIY apple cider vinegar rinse, or simply cover the brassy orange tones with a darker hair color like red, purple, or black.

How long should I leave the toner on to get rid of orange?

If you are using our Periwinkle semi-permanent hair dye as a toner, we recommend leaving it on for at least 15-30 minutes. However, you can leave it on even longer if you'd like since there are no harsh chemicals in any of our dyes.

Orange You Glad You Read This?

Don't let brassiness bring you down! With these simple solutions, you can kick orange tones to the curb and get back to loving your locks. 

Whether you choose the gentle approach with Periwinkle toner, the natural route with apple cider vinegar, or decide to transform completely with a new color, your hair journey is in your hands.

Whether you're looking to tone down your current shade or make a bold change, let's dive into the world of coloring over red hair.

Color Theory 101: Your BFF for Hair Color Success

Before we jump into specific shades, let's have a quick chat about color theory (we promise to keep it fun!). Picture the color wheel as your personal hair color GPS. 

Here's the tea:

- Colors that are besties (right next to each other on the wheel) will give you the smoothest transition. Think red to purple or red to orange - they're practically meant to be!

- Colors that are across from each other on the wheel (complementary colors) can be a bit tricky. They cancel each other out, which sounds cool but might leave you with an unexpected muddy shade. Not exactly the vibe we're going for!

How to Tone Down Red Hair Dye: Colors That Neutralize Red

Purple💜

Since purple is red's next-door neighbor on the color wheel, it creates one of the smoothest color transitions possible. 

When you apply Purple AF over faded red hair, you'll get a gorgeously deep purple shade that can range from rich royal purple to a multi-dimensional, sunset-inspired blend. 

The purple pigments work with your existing red hair color to create depth and movement in your hair, rather than fighting against it. 

This harmonious color relationship means you'll get more predictable, vibrant results than if you tried to go with a hair color that's further from red on the wheel.

Blue💙

While Poseidon over red hair is one of our more challenging color transitions, it can create some seriously stunning results with the right preparation! 

Since blue and red are further apart on the color wheel, you'll want to fade your red hair color first to give Poseidon the best chance to shine. 

When you apply Poseidon over red, you might notice some gorgeous purple undertones emerging as the two colors interact - think of it as getting two amazing shades in one! 

This combination can create a unique, multidimensional color that shifts between deep blue and rich purple hair dye tones, giving you a totally mesmerizing mermaid-worthy look.

Orange🧡

Sunset Orange is your perfect match for a seamless hair color evolution! Since orange and red are right next to each other on the color wheel, Sunset Orange melts beautifully into red hair, creating a fiery glow that looks incredibly natural. 

When applied over red hair color, it adds warmth and brightness, transforming your existing shade into a trendy copper tone. 

The result is a dimensional, sun-kissed look that appears to glow from within - perfect for anyone wanting to keep their hair in the red family while adding that extra pop of warmth and vibrancy.

FAQ & Pro Tips for Color Success

Is it possible to cover red hair with another color?

Yes! Purple, orange, and blue are ideal shades for covering red. Before making any color change, remember that everyone's hair journey is unique. Your current shade, previous colors, and hair porosity will all affect how your new color transforms. That's why we ALWAYS recommend doing a strand test first to get a sneak peek of how your hair will react to its new shade!

How can I prep my red hair for another color?

Start by using a clarifying shampoo to remove any product buildup and help fade your current color to a lighter base. Between clarifying sessions, make sure to give your hair plenty of love with deep conditioning treatments to keep your strands healthy and happy. And before you commit to your full hair transformation, always do a strand test to ensure you'll get the results you're dreaming of!

Can you dye red hair brown?

Yes, you can dye red hair brown! Using Arctic Fox Hair Color, mix 98% Ginger Flare with 2% Transylvania for a stunning dark natural warm brown hair color. This combination works beautifully since adding dark pigment to red hair is an effective color transition. Results will vary depending on the shade of red hair color you’re starting with, please reach out to our color specialists via email at support@arcticfoxusa.com for personalized assistance!

Will black hair dye cover red hair color?

Black hair dye like Transylvania will effectively cover red hair color, making it one of the most reliable options for concealing vibrant reds. Since black is the darkest hair dye shade, it contains maximum pigment to overpower existing color. However, be aware that depending on the intensity of your red, some warm undertones might still show through in certain lighting. Remember that going black is a commitment, transitioning away from black later will be a challenge!
