What You'll Need:
Let's Get Started!
Step 1: Section Like a Pro
Start with clean, dry hair, this gives you the perfect canvas for color magic! Grab those alligator clips and section out a chunky face-framing piece that'll give you that "wow" factor the minute you walk into a room.
Then, section out another large chunk toward the back of your head for that peek-a-boo effect that's subtle yet stunning. These sections will be your blue statement pieces!
Step 2: Lighten Up
If your hair isn't already light enough, it's bleaching time! Those sections reserved for blue need to be lightened to a level 9/10 platinum blonde for the most vibrant results.
Our Bleach Please collection makes this process super easy, even for beginners. Need more deets on bleaching? Check out our comprehensive bleaching guide blog for all the do's and don'ts!
Step 3: Color Time!
Once your bleached sections are thoroughly dried, it's time for the fun part! Apply Jinx electric blue hair dye to those lightened sections, making sure to saturate every strand completely.
For the rest of your hair, apply Transylvania for that rich, deep contrast that makes the blue truly pop. The key here is precision—take your time to avoid color bleeding between sections.
Step 4: Patience Pays Off
Let your hair soak up all that color goodness for at least 30 minutes to an hour. But here's the best part: our semi-permanent hair dyes are actually deep conditioning treatments without harsh chemicals, so the longer you leave them on, the better!
Pro tip: throw on a shower cap, binge a few episodes of your favorite show, or tackle some chores around the house while your hair drinks up that vibrant color. Your future self will thank you for that extra time!
Step 5: Rinse Smart
Ready to reveal your masterpiece? Rinse out your color with cold water (hot water is color's worst enemy!) and your favorite color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.
For best results, rinse the blue sections first, then apply conditioner to those areas as a protective barrier before rinsing out the dark sections. This prevents any unwanted color bleeding and keeps your blue sections vibrant.
Step 6: Time to Shine!
You did it! Now go show off your gorgeous new dark hair with blue highlights.
Get ready for all the "OMG, who did your hair?!" comments—and the smug satisfaction of saying "I did it myself!"

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Stop Hair Dye From Bleeding Into Other Colors?
Cold water is your BFF when it comes to preventing color bleeding!
Always rinse each color section separately, and apply conditioner to the sections you've already washed before moving onto the next. This creates a barrier that helps keep colors in their designated lanes.
What Is A Color Block in Hair?
Color blocking is a technique where you create distinct sections of different colors that stand out against each other.
Unlike subtle highlights or balayage, color blocking is meant to create a bold contrast between sections.
What Does Blue Hair Color Fade To?
One of the coolest things about Arctic Fox shades is that they fade within the color spectrum.
This means Jinx will gradually fade to lighter shades of blue rather than those awkward green or gray tones you might get with other brands. It's like getting multiple looks as your color evolves!
What Colors Look Good With Blue Hair?
Blue and black are a match made in hair heaven! The deep, rich tones of Transylvania create the perfect backdrop for Jinx's electric blue to really stand out.
This high-contrast pairing creates depth and dimension that's both dramatic and sophisticated. Other great pairings include purple tones or even a touch of teal for a multi-dimensional mermaid effect.
