    Pantone's Color for 2023: Viva Magenta!

    Pantone's Color for 2023: Viva Magenta!

    Magenta is a red-based color with pink and purple tones, based off of the natural dye cochineal, a revered red dye that at one point was worth more than gold. Viva Magenta represents tenacity, vigor, strength, and bravery. 

    2022 was a trying year for so many of us. It was the second full year of a global pandemic, it was a year of restructuring and redefining how we live and exist. I think for many of us, it was a year of loss. A lot of people lost jobs, lost friendships, and had to restart in many ways. Viva Magenta is the perfect color for 2023, and represents reigniting that spark we all have within us. 

    Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone said, Viva Magenta is about “writing a new narrative”. So what is your 2023 going to say? 

    I know for me, I am going to commit to doing one thing that scares me, every week. Whether it is something as simple as asking an employee where something is in a store instead of my usual ‘wander all 110 aisles until I find it!’ stubbornness, or something much larger like trying to sell my art like I have been saying I will do for the last ten years, or keep going to my open mic nights I do bi-weekly (because let’s be real that scares me every. single. time). Time is going to pass regardless, and I will never regret trying, but I might regret not. 

    I hope that this year becomes your year, babe. Let’s make 2023 magical. Dye your hair the fun color (helllo to this mix!). Apply for the job that might feel like it’s a stretch. Live your 2023 with abundant and unfettered JOY. Be brave. Do the scary thing. DO THE SCARY THING! Live your life in color. Viva Magenta!

    Our Favorite Fall Mixes!

    Fall is finally here, Fox Fam! đŸ€Ș🍁 We’ve gathered some of our favorite hair color mixes for all of your fall hair transitions. ✹  From warm tones to dark smokey hues, we’ve got all of your Fall color inspo in one place. Sit back, relax, and get ready to get inspired! Here are some of our favorite color mixes that we’re loving this season.

    Feel the (Burn)gundy 😏

     

    This one is so nice, we had to mix it twice. Burgundy tones make us feel ALL the feels, and for good reason. Try it yourself by mixing FrosĂ© and Ritual (top) for a lighter take on the trend, or go dark by mixing Ritual and Blue Jean Baby (bottom) for a richer color that’s also friendly to darker hair bases!



    Dream of Green(ie)

    One of our highest requested mixes this season! Forest green has become one of your favorite shades (and ours too 😉). This mix is suitable for just about ALL hair base levels, showing up vibrantly of prelightened hair, and as a gorgeous tint on darker bases. đŸŒČ Try it for yourself by mixing Phantom Green Aquamarine and a touch of Transylvania.



    Ginger Spice

    Our ginger spice mix is one of our most beloved mixes of all time, and for good reason! 🧡  This custom shade requires a base of Cosmic Sunshine, a bit of Sunset Orange and a dollop of Purple AF to create this ginger tone. BUT, you can also modify the mix to achieve a more coppery tone by adding in more Sunset Orange and Purple AF to the mix!



    Let’s Get Witchy 

    Did someone say
 smokey purple? 😏💜 To say we’re OBSESSED with this shade, would be an understatement. Want to turn heads? Try this truly unique shade (suitable for darker bases) by mixing up Violet Dream and Transylvania!



    Let us know in the comments below if you will be trying any of these mixes!

    Space Cowgirl Mixes

    Space Cowgirl Mixes

    Howdy, Fox Fam đŸ€  Have you tried our newest color, Space Cowgirl? Solo, she’s a neon green that will have the aliens phoning home đŸ‘œâœŒ but mixed with some of our other AF shades and you’ll be coming back for more. Check out some of our faves below ⬇
    This might be our favorite teal mix to date 😋 To get this green shifted teal mix, start with a heavy base of Space Cowgirl and slowly add in small dollops of Aquamarine until your desired shade is achieved. #AFprotip Aquamarine is a VERY pigmented shade. Be sure to add in small
    bits at a time of the shade can overpower Space Cowgirl in this mix.
    This bright evergreen shade has ALL of our attention at the moment 😍đŸŒČ To achieve this look, mix ⅔ Space Cowgirl and ⅓ Poseidon and live all of our evergreen dreams 💚
    Let’s keep this one on ice ❄😏 Get this icy green shade by mixing equal parts Periwinkle and Space Cowgirl for a one-of-a-kind green.
    Chartreuse is IT for us and this mix will have you just as OBSESSED as we are đŸ’« Start with a heavy base of Neon Moon and add in a ÂŒ ratio of Space Cowgirl to achieve this look.
    For our babes who like to keep things peachy 😉 Get this rose gold shade with a peachy shift by mixing ⅔ FrosĂ© and ⅓ Space Cowgirl. #AFprotip Your mix should be true to tone! If your mix looks more brown than peachy, add in more FrosĂ© until the mix looks rose gold 💕
    Start off with a base of Space Cowgirl, slowly adding in dollops of Virgin Pink until you get a rosey copper shade 🧡 #AFprotip Add in some Arctic Mist to pastelize this shade to get more of a peach shift 🍑
