    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! â˜•đŸ€Ž 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.đŸ«âœš

    What is Mocha Mousse?đŸ€”

    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 FoxđŸ€Ž

    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.đŸ€©đŸŒ°

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

    Keep Your Mocha Mousse Fresh AFđŸ’«

    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.đŸ«§
    • 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.â€‹â€‹đŸ‘©đŸœ

    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. Luckily for you, we have perfect and effortless gel nail kits to complete your look. Your hair and nails will be serving the ultimate “main character energy” this year.đŸ˜ŒđŸ€Ž

    Why You’ll Love Ginger Flare 😍

    1. Works Wonders on Virgin and Bleached Hair: From natural to bleached bases, Ginger Flare shines bright. On virgin hair, it adds a warm, rich glow. On bleached hair, it transforms into a vivid, fiery shade that’s hard to miss. 🌟
    2. Vibrant Yet Natural: This isn’t just any ginger—it’s a stunning color that’s bold and spicy yet feels effortlessly natural. 🍂✹
    3. Perfect Alone or in Mixes: Whether you’re rocking it solo or blending it with other shades, Ginger Flare has got you covered. Mix it with other Arctic Fox colors to create your unique look! 🎹💖

    Pro Tips for Perfect Ginger Spice 💡

      1. Pre-Lighten for Best Results: For the most vibrant and true-to-color result, lighten your hair to a level 9 or 10 blonde before applying Ginger Flare. This will ensure your color pops and stays vibrant. đŸ’«
  • Strand Test: It might seem like more work in the moment but TRUST US a strand test will save you a lot of time and frustration in the long run. Simply take a few strands of hair and apply the hair color as you normally would. Doing a strand test first ensures your hair will come out just the way you like, leaving ZERO room for error. đŸ„°
    1. Apply Sparingly: Ginger Flare is rich and intense. Start with a small amount and build up to your desired intensity. A little goes a long way! đŸŒŸđŸ–Œïž

    Keep It Fresh: To maintain that fiery ginger hue, use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Regular conditioning will keep your hair looking shiny and healthy. 🌿💧

    Mix It Up! 🎹

    Feeling adventurous? Ginger Flare is perfect for mixing. Combine it with Arctic Fox shades like Purple AF for a playful twist or Porange for an extra burst of warmth. Get creative and find your perfect blend! 🌈✹

    Sunset Orange Mixology: Unleash Your Inner Fire đŸ”„

    kimbokush710 in Sunset Orange

    Sunset Orange is a fiery, deep red-orange that turns out well on a more medium blonde! Since it’s primarily red-based, the red undertones of Sunset Orange may come through more strongly on hair that is more of a light blonde or higher. This is helpful if you have any brassiness, as Sunset Orange can and WILL cover that right up. It’s no wonder this shade is a consistent bestseller! 🏆

    This versatile shade can create stunning results when mixed with other colors or simply on her own. In this blog post,  we'll explore some of the most popular and exciting color combinations 🎹🧡  

    ✹AF PRO TIP✹ As a general rule of thumb, the darker your base, the deeper the shade! With that being said, you can do a lot with Sunset Orange on a plethora of bases! Yes, even your brunette hair 😉

    @themetalromantic in Sunset Orange and Electric Paradise

    Sunset Orange + Wrath: For a darker, more intense shade, combine Sunset Orange with Wrath.

    @a.dragon.soul in Sunset Orange and Wrath ❀

    Cover- Ups✹

    A faded warm tone like a red, pink, or most purples would be easily covered by a warm tone like Sunset Orange. However, cooler shades like blues and greens may cause Sunset Orange to appear more muddy or dark if it’s applied on top đŸ€ąÂ  So for example, if you’re wanting to cover a blue or green shade, transitioning to a purple that can cover cooler tones more easily first, THEN moving more toward a red or orange, will give you a more accurate result in the long run!! I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again; The color wheel MATTERS!
