    Color Spotlight: Arctic Mist Diluter☁✚

    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. đŸ˜ŒđŸ€đŸ‘Żâ€â™€ïž

    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. đŸ˜± Enter Arctic Mist Diluter, the hero of our hair color adventures! đŸ€©

    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. đŸŒˆđŸ„°

    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! 👎🛑 đŸ˜”â€đŸ’« 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.đŸ„Ž 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!đŸ‘©â€đŸŽšÂ 

    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!â˜ïžâšĄ

    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. đŸ„ł It’s like having a stylist in a bottle, ready to help you achieve Instagram-worthy locks.đŸ’‡â€â™€ïž

    Introducing Pastel Hour: Arctic Fox’s Latest Pastel Semi-Permanent Hair Color Collection

    Introducing Pastel Hour: Arctic Fox’s Latest Pastel Semi-Permanent Hair Color Collection

    Pastel Hour: Spill the Tea

    Just in time for spring, festival season, and everything light and bright - Pastel Hour is here! The brand new Arctic Fox collection consists of four pastel semi-permanent hair colors, three completely new shades and one you know and love. These sweet hues are an absolute dream to stare at and play with. Take a bite into Cotton Candy Dreams, a highly sought after light blue, the most coveted color this year peach in Peach Prosecco, the softest green in Pistachio Macaron, and our beloved baby pink in FrosĂ©. Let’s dive right into pastel tea time, shall we? 

    Hair Levels for Pastel

    First things first, you know we’ll never lead you astray, Fox Fam. Before we dish the deets on these new pastel all-stars, let’s squash the hair level question once and for all. Yes, you WILL need platinum hair for these lovely pastels to shine the way they’re meant to. If you need some help getting there, our Bleach, Please at-home lightening kit will absolutely lighten up those strands! And of course, we here to guide you through the process of lightening your hair at home. If your hair is already light but has a bright ‘n bold color all over it, you’ll want to use a color remover to make sure you have a clean and even canvas to apply your pastel dream. 

    Cotton Candy Dreams 

    Cotton Candy Dreams hair color was requested by none other than YOU! Our Fox Fam has been BEGGING for this color, and she’s finally here. This shade of pastel blue is a delicious combination of a smooth, buttery blue, with a strong neon tone. On level 10 bases, you’ll enjoy the full softness, while darker shades will see a subdued and muted tone. Either way, the pastel blue of your dreams is HERE and you can treat your heart out. 

    Peach Prosecco

    Since the Color of the Year was announced, we’ve been mixing and mixing to get the perfect shade of peach and we bottled it up in Peach Prosecco! No mixing cocktails needed here! This peach pastel combines soft orange with sugar pink for a blend that is TRULY the perfect peach. And with peach blonde taking over 2024, what better time to indulge than now? Platinum babes can pour up Peach Prosecco hair dye and enjoy the full effect while darker bases - well, you’ll need a few lightening sessions to get there. 

    Pistachio Macaron 

    Would any pastel collection be complete without the perfectly soft mint green? Pistachio Macaron hair dye is a soft, muted mint with tones slightly warmer than our tried and true favorite, Neverland. Indulge fully in this pastel green on a level 10+ base. These tones will make you feel like a true fairy, perfect for spring hair, and festival season looks. 

    Frosé

    Does she need an introduction? You know her as the star of baby pink hair and the perfect soft pink pastel. We gave her a little makeover and put her in a new bottle to star in the Pastel Hour, but she’s the same formula you love to pour up and enjoy. Level 10+ bases enjoy the full effect of soft baby pink, while darker bases will see a tone that is closer to rose gold. 

    Post Pastel Maintenance 

    We know you’re dyeing to try these new shades, but before you dive in, we have a little more tea to spill! Pastels can be a little fickle (shhh, don’t tell them we said that! đŸ€«), so to keep the dream alive, you’ll need to refresh consistently. You can grab an extra bottle to mix in with conditioner in the shower for frequent touch ups, or you can go darker by grabbing a similar, darker shade (think a darker version of the color you’re dreaming of), and add a few drops into your conditioner as well for a bit of a darker hue. 

     

    Don’t forget to tag us @arcticfoxhaircolor in your new pastel hair, we can’t wait to see you slay! 😍

    Color Spotlight: Frosé Hair Dye

    Color Spotlight: Frosé Hair Dye

    Baby pink hair has been a trendsetter for as long as we can remember, if you’ve been looking for a true pastel pink, we got it on tap! Our baby pink pastel hair dye, FrosĂ© is the sweetest hue! Her soft, true pink tones are perfect for dipping your toe into the world of vivids with a non-committal pink that’ll still turn heads. 


    FrosĂ© is much more of a true pink compared to some of our other pink tones. If you’ve worked with diluted Virgin Pink or Electric Paradise, you know that these colors have a slight  magenta/fuchsia and coral/peachy undertone respectively. But FrosĂ© is right in the middle of the spectrum between the two, and doesn’t lean too strongly into either the cool or warm range! She looks stunning on warm AND neutral undertones, and eases any lucky head of hair into the world of color with stunning hues that make you want to pour her up as much as you can. 


    Coloring with Frosé

    Everyone wants to go pastel - especially baby pink pastel. But getting there can be slightly trickier than it seems! When it comes to FrosĂ© (and any pastel) your base is everything, and we mean EVERYTHING. You MUST start with a clean, platinum base for the true baby pink you’re looking for and any other base color will yield different results, or not results at all. If you have had a brighter color and are looking to transition to FrosĂ©, you’ll need to completely remove your color with a color remover and make sure your base is clean before splashing on FrosĂ© and expecting the baby pink of your dreams. That being said, FrosĂ© is a true pink and if you’re ready for the upkeep, you can enjoy the dreamiest pink head of hair as long as you’d like! 


    Level Up: Frosé on Different Hair Levels

    FrosĂ© is the baby pink stunner in our pastel lineup, so you’ll need a platinum base to get the full effect! On a level 8 blonde, FrosĂ© hair dye will give a dusty rose, while level 7 blondes will see a darker, smokier rose - both are stunning. If you want a barely-there pastel and are searching for just a hint of pink, start with level 10 platinum hair and dilute with Arctic Mist Diluter as needed. Don’t forget to do a trusted strand test so you can be sure that your hair is at the level needed for that perfect baby pink. 👑

    Get Faded: How Frosé Fades

    Since FrosĂ© is a pastel stunner, consistent maintenance and upkeep is a must to keep that baby pink hue look its best. This hair dye tends to fade quicker than some of our other vivids, which is very common when it comes to pastel hair dye. You’ll want to keep a bottle on hand for frequent touch ups, and make sure your base color is a level 10 for best results. Luckily, our DIY friendly formula makes it easier than ever to add color to your conditioner, or do a quick touch up session in the comfort of your own home! On the other hand, if you’re looking for a quick pink blush to those locks that’ll fade out beautifully - FrosĂ© is your girl.

    Frosé Mixology: Customizing the Baby Pink Pastel

    Like our entire semi-permanent hair dye lineup, FrosĂ© is easy to customize and can make a STUNNING mix with other pinks, and almost any other AF hair color! Since FrosĂ© is a pastel hair dye and is naturally lighter than our other pinks, she makes an excellent addition to custom mixes, but keep in mind that if you’re looking for the true baby pink, she shines on her own. Let’s dive into some custom mixes with our fav pink pastel! 

    Barbie Dreamhouse

    Frosé and Electric Paradise

    Start with a level 10 base and mix up a 50/50 ratio of FrosĂ© hair dye and Electric Paradise hair dye! Electric Paradise is UV reactive, so this mix will have a slight tint of her glowing properties, but not too overpowering. It’s the pink of our collective Barbie DREAMS. 

    Rusty Pink

    Frosé and Poison

    This one’s a head turner! This mix needs a platinum base. Start with two parts FrosĂ© hair dye to one part Poison hair dye and you get this bright, coral, rusted pink. She’s unique enough to turn heads, but also falls perfectly in the range of the peachy pink that’s totally taking over 2024. 

    Hot, HOT Pink

    Frosé and Virgin Pink

    Virgin Pink hair dye is at the top of the charts year after year, and when you add FrosĂ© into the mix you get this vibrant hot pink that will breathe energy into your strands. On a level 10 base, go for a 50/50 ratio of Virgin Pink and FrosĂ©, and whew! This mix is definitely one for our bold babes, but you’ll want to pour it on a light base to get the true, HOT pink! 

    Bubblegum Pink

    Frosé and Wrath

    We can just hear the bubblegum pop when we look at this mix. Sassy, flirty, and the life of the party, bring this mix to life on a level 10 base with two parts Frosé hair dye to one part Wrath hair dye. Who knew our red stunner with our baby pink pastel could create such an electrifying mix!?

    Mauvelous Rose

    Frosé and Ritual

    Smoky, lustrous, and magical. Sounds about right? On level 10 hair, start with a base of FrosĂ© hair color then add just a drop of Ritual hair dye (or more if needed). Don’t forget to strand test before you woo anyone and everyone with that magical head of hair!

    Frosé on You

    We LOVE seeing our Fox Fam proudly rock their colors, and Frosé is no exception!

    Halo

    Virgin and Poison

A halo color placement is one color on your first layer of hair, and a different color on the layers beneath it. It gives a gorgeous peekaboo effect and the styling options are truly endless! This fiery look from @alexajdmakeup was made using Virgin Pink hair dye and Poison hair dye. We love this color combo, especially during the month of February when red and pink hues reign supreme. Lucky for you AF shades are made for creating these daring looks at home! Virgin Pink hair color is a vibrant hot pink and will appear as a magenta tint on brown hair, its most vibrant form comes with pre-lightened hair. Poison hair color has a slight orange undertone that will prevent it from fading to a pink. Poison will give a dark, subtle tint to darker tones of hair but will turn out most vibrantly on hair that is pre-lightened to around a level 8. Give it a go the next time you’re feeling spicy!

    Now that you’re a pro at color combos make sure you tag us on IG @arcticfoxhaircolor if you try out any of these mixes or split dyes. We love to see you explore your inner hairstylist with our DIY friendly hair dye colors!
