AF Blog — Pastel Hour

We heard you were craving peach… so we delivered the most delicious and dreamy peach EVER. Enter Peach Prosecco, a shade that perfectly combines soft orangey opulence and powdered sugar pink making it our latest (and greatest) indulgence. No more mixing required! Does she look familiar? You might recognize this color and tone because of Pantone’s chosen color of the year for 2024, Peach Fuzz. 

This pastel beauty is part of our newest collection, Pastel Hour. A collection catered to our Fox Fam members looking for something sickly sweet, soft and truly unique. What makes this shade special? Aside from being an absolute head turner, this peach shade has just a touch of pink to reflect a gorgeous rose gold. 

A pastel lover’s dream come to life.

Level Up: Peach Prosecco on Different Bases

To experience all that Peach Prosecco has to offer, you’ll need to pre lighten your hair to a level 10 base. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t use this shade on a level or two up from level 10! On platinum bases, this shade will show up as a true rosey peach stunner, but on light blonde bases, this will appear as more of a true rose gold. Take a look at our level chart to see to what this shade can look like on you!

Are you ready to flex on your hair game with some flavor? Say hello to Arctic Fox's latest drop: Pistachio Macaron – a vibe in the Pastel Hour: Spill the Tea collection. If you're craving that warm, minty pastel green hair dye that's as fresh as a summer day, Pistachio Macaron is the move, Fox Fam.

What makes Pistachio Macaron stand out from the pack? This shade ain't your typical green. While Neverland serves up that ice-cold, slightly blue-toned mint, Pistachio Macaron brings the heat with a warmer, inviting tone. It's like the boujee cousin of the minty fam, here to slay.

Let's talk about Pistachio Macaron's fade game – it's next level. This semi-permanent hair dye stays true to its color even as it fades, keeping your hair looking fly for ages. With its green undertone and base, this shade stays consistent, giving you that depth you crave.

If you are looking for the perfect springtime green mixes, a 50/50 mix of Pistachio Macaron and Iris Green is my go to combo. 

If you want to keep it a little more pastel, half Cotton Candy Dreams and half Pistachio Macaron is also another stunning mix. 

If you love Neverland and Pistachio Macaron and can't decide between the two, why not mix them for the perfect in-between shade! 

To make sure Pistachio Macaron pops off like it should, start with a clean slate. That means lightening your hair to a level 10 platinum blonde. Trust, this base lets Pistachio Macaron shine without any distractions. Grab some Bleach, Please and get to lightening those locks, babes! 

To keep that Pistachio Macaron going strong, cut down on washing your hair – water can mess with your color's vibrancy. When you do wash, go for that cold water to seal the deal and keep your color looking fresh. Dry shampoo is your ride or die between washes, keeping your hair on point without messing with your color game. Grab some Vacay Volumizing Shampoo or Desert Road Trip if you plan on going on a pastel journey! When you do wash your hair, make sure to use a color safe shampoo and conditioner, like Resurrected Shampoo and Conditioner.

With Pistachio Macaron, Arctic Fox keeps it real, offering up vibrant, cruelty-free hair colors that let you flex your style with confidence. Whether you're a seasoned color queen or just getting started on your pastel journey, Pistachio Macaron is here to level up your hair game.

So what's the holdup, Fox Fam? Treat yourself to Pistachio Macaron and take your hair to new heights. Life's too short for basic hair!
