    • Condition Like a Queen: Arctic Fox dyes are free of harsh chemicals, but don’t forget to follow up with a great conditioner to keep your locks looking shiny and healthy. 💁‍♀️💖

    2024 Fall Hair Color Trends

    2024 Fall Hair Color Trends

    Autumn is here, and it's time to give your hair a makeover! With the leaves changing and the air getting crisp, there's no better time to experiment with a new hair color. This fall, we're seeing a resurgence of bold, vibrant shades, rich rubies, fiery reds, and of course a fall twist on the color of the year in baked peach. Let's dive into some of the hottest semi-permanent hair color trends to slay these coming Fall months! 

    Ruby Wine

    @stellacini in Wrath and Ritual over a faded green base

    If you're looking for a deep, rich color that's perfect for fall, ruby wine is the way to go. This gorgeous shade can be easily achieved using a 50/50 mix of long-time Arctic Fox favs Ritual and Wrath. @stellacini got the most gorgeous velvet-y vibe with this mix over her faded green base! This rich color is sure to turn heads and is the perfect statement for fall. 

    Ebony

    @morganmckain in Transylvania 

    Blue-toned black is sneaking back in, and we’re definitely not mad at it! Ebony is making the charts as a fall trending color, and it’s perfect for our Foxes who are dyeing to add a bit of mystery to their look. Pour up Transylvania to transform into whatever shade you’re rockin’ into a bold hair choice with a sultry, mystic edge. You can also add a touch of Blue Jean Baby for that extra punch.

    Pro Tip: Transylvania is a pigmented color with blue undertones and will bleed during the dyeing process so be sure to cover up, use vaseline and scrub your shower immediately!

    Neon Oranges and Pinks

    @ddcohair in Frosé, Peach Prosecco, and Electric Paradise

    @torymua in Porange

    This one might be a bit of a surprise, but fall is a great time to whip out the neons and make the boldest statement of 2024. Peachy oranges, and rusty pinks are THE color combo to totally seal the show and try something unique. Porange and Electric Paradise will be your stars for this show, both vibrant AF, and both with UV reactive tones that will glow in the dark if you’re gracing any festivals in the fall months. When working with these stunners, bleach will get you best results, so make sure you’re applying on a bleached, even base for the best results you could dream of! 

    Baked Peach

    @lolaliner in Peach Prosecco

    Peach ruled 2024 from start to finish, and for a trendy twist on the color of the year, baked peach is the one to dye! You’ll need a platinum base for this look to shine it’s brightest, and then, you guessed it! Peach Prosecco is your gal. Add a few drops of Ginger Flare for a grungier vibe and you’ve got the hottest color on your hands.

    Fiery Red

    @missempi in Poison and Sunset Orange

    RED has to be our favorite color - and if you’ve seen the Fox Fam rocking a red you KNOW you’ve found yourself heading to checkout for that same bottle. All our reds have INSANE color pigment payoff, but Poison is the IT girl when it comes to a good red. The lighter your base, the more venomous the color, so keep that in mind when you’ve decided on your poison. With a head of hair like this, you’ll be a walking fire hazard! 

    Pro Tip: Sunset Orange is known for its red undertones, so a touch of that to your concoction and you’ll have to call the fire department! 

    And that’s a wrap on our trend report, Fox Fam! Will you be dyeing any of these? Don’t forget to tag us @arcticfoxhaircolor and you just might get a feature. We can’t wait to see! 

    Most Loved Colors for Tints: Unleash Your Natural Hue with Arctic Fox

    Most Loved Colors for Tints: Unleash Your Natural Hue with Arctic Fox

    So, you've got beautiful, unbleached hair and you're ready to add a touch of color without the full commitment? 👀 You're in the right place! Arctic Fox offers a range of shades that are perfect for creating subtle yet stunning tints on your natural base. Let's dive into our most loved colors for tinting unbleached hair 🏊‍♀️

    Understanding Your Base

    Before we dive into specific shades, it's important to understand your natural hair color. Are you a brunette, a redhead, or somewhere in between? Your base color will influence how the tint looks. For example, blue hair dye! 💙😱  If you have naturally brunette hair vs red hair, the outcome would likely be different 👇

    👩‍🦰 💆🏽‍♀️For SUPER red hair, when blue dye is applied, the red and blue pigments can mix, creating a greenish hue. However, the blue dye will often appear closer to its original shade on brunette hair!

    Color theory magic! 🪄

    Now, let's explore some Arctic Fox shades that work wonders on your unbleached hair:

    • Poison: For a deeper, richer red, Poison can be a stunning option. It can add depth and dimension to your natural color.

    Tips for Tinting

    While it seems fairly simple to just slap the color on your hair, we always suggest a strand test! This will give you a good idea of how the dye will interact with your hair and help you achieve your desired look ✨

    Color Spotlight: Ritual Hair Dye

    Color Spotlight: Ritual Hair Dye

    Ritual hair dye has been your go-to deep red for almost as long as we can remember! This jewel-toned burgundy turns out most vividly on hair levels 7 and up, which is why she has remained one of our best sellers. She is great for darker hair, and requires no bleach. Ritual fades beautifully into a pretty magenta-pink! What’s not to love!?  Ritual isn’t just a hair color; it’s a whole vibe, a mood, an energy! 🎨💖

    @jessicamaiapinto in Ritual 

    The Holy Grail: A Forever Fave

    Uh, hello? Have you seen Ritual? She’s always a trend setter, and with Cherry Cola taking over all our FYPs, Ritual is the secret ingredient to covering your locks in that gorgeous color. Curious if she suits your season? Ritual looks great on people with both warm and cool undertones! She appears a little more violet on naturally cooler toned hair, making her perfect for a summer or winter, and a little redder on warmer toned hair, which works beautifully on a spring or autumn. She is one of our most versatile colors, that can really work on any skin tone. Ritual is the perfect color for babes who are curious about vivids, but don’t know what color to choose. 

    Time to Dye: How to Rock Ritual

    So, you’re ready to level up your hair game with Ritual? Before you dive in, let’s get the tea on how to make it pop. While Ritual shines brightest on levels 7-10 hair, she’s also a total slay even if you’re on the darker side. If you’re starting at level 5, Ritual will still bless your locks with that magical tint. Ritual has been a forever fan favorite for darker locks. No need to bleach with this deeply pigmented hue✨💇‍♂️ If you want the pigment to really stick, wash with a clarifying shampoo to open up your hair’s cuticles - don’t condition. Instead, dry your hair, apply Ritual, and leave on at least 45 minutes - but it’s safe to leave on for longer! Some of our Foxes leave it on for hours. Check those emails, catch up on your favorite show, and let Ritual do her magic! Rinse in water as cold as you can stand until the water runs clear. Cold water helps seal your cuticles shut, keeping your color locked in. Remember, Arctic Fox’s Semi-permanent hair dye is deeply hydrating, so your hair will be conditioned as it soaks up all of that pigment! 

    Cracking the Code: Ritual on Different Bases

    Okay, so let’s break it down. On a light base, Ritual serves looks for days—think rich, velvety burgundy that’s just chef’s kiss. But as the base gets darker, the burgundy color tints come out to play, adding that extra oomph to your mane. For our darker haired Fox Fam, she leaves behind a hint of deep burgundy that’s perfect for easing your way into vivids or giving your natural hair just a little edge that pops in the sunshine. It’s subtle yet fierce, like your hair’s own little secret. 🔥🙌

    But wait, the journey with Ritual doesn’t end once the color’s set. With every wash, Ritual evolves into a dreamy magenta- pink with smoky undertones. It’s like watching your hair glow-up in real-time! 🌹✨Feel free to grab a 4 oz of Ritual and add a few drops in with your conditioner from time to time for easy upkeep and maintenance! 

    Ritual Mixology - Our Favorite Ritual Mixes

    Dusty Rose

    Since Ritual has a smoky undertone for that deep muted burgundy color, it dilutes down perfectly to a soft dusty rose on platinum hair! Try just a few drops of Ritual added to a base of Arctic Mist diluter to get this delicate floral shade.

    Pumpkin Spice

    Natural redhead tones are in! To kick this lively color up a few notches, use a base of Porange with a dollop of Ritual mixed in. This gives you a vibrant pumpkin spice tone, perfect for that almost-natural gingery hue!

    Dark Berry

    Berry tones are always a fresh pick, and this deep sultry shade is perfect for a refined, elegant look. Use equal parts Ritual and Blue Jean Baby for a dark and jammy blackberry color!

    Smoky Mauve

    Sterling is one of our most versatile mixer shades, giving a steely tint to any color that’s added to it. Try mixing a dollop of Ritual to a base of Sterling for a smoky light mauve; Sterling is blue-based, it will help bring the color to more of a purple mauve tone. Or, since Ritual can fade more silvery or gray on hair with a strong yellow-blonde tone, you can just use straight Ritual and enjoy the fade!
