@Sophiaxnova_ in Purple AF

Dyeing your hair with vivids can feel like a bold move, but trust us, it doesn’t have to be intimidating! If you dream of vibrant locks but want something beginner-friendly and low-maintenance, we’ve got you covered. Check out some of our favorite shades that are perfect for any skill level and stay stunning with minimal effort.💕

Purple AF 💜

Looking for a color that’s bold but easygoing? Purple AF is your new bestie. This deep, cool-toned purple works on all hair levels, from platinum blonde to dark brown. Purple AF’s highly pigmented formula means the color will stick around longer so you don’t have to touch up your color as often. It fades gracefully into a lavender shade on lighter hair and a muted purple on darker tones, no awkward in-between stage here! 🔮

Wrath 🔥

This juicy red is a fan favorite for a good reason! Wrath delivers a deep, ruby hue that’s striking on any hair color. This shade is a deep red with berry undertones which can become more pink as it gradually fades. It shows up well on brassy tones and gives dark, dimensional tints to darker hair. This shade is most vivid on hair pre-lightened to a level 7 or lighter.🍒❤️

Sunset Orange 🌇

Bring the golden hour to your hair 24/7 with Sunset Orange! This shade is a fiery, deep red-orange that looks captivating on light and dark hair. Brassy tones won’t cause any problems for this color, if anything they will make it even brighter. The red undertones of Sunset Orange may come through stronger on light bases around a level 9 or 10. This highly pigmented shade takes a while to fade but once it does, it turns into soft peach tones that are just as dreamy.🍊🧡

Virgin Pink 🌸

If pink is your thing, Virgin Pink is a must-try! This playful magenta pops beautifully on lighter hair while giving darker hair a stunning berry tint. As it fades, it transitions to a softer, pastel pink that’s equally charming. While this shade is eye-catching on every base, it looks brightest on a level 7 or higher.🌹💕

Aquamarine 🌊

Channel mermaid vibes with Aquamarine, a vivid blue with teal undertones that’s absolutely mesmerizing. Light hair gets a vibrant blue turquoise, while darker bases show off a teal ocean blue tint. This gorgeous jewel tone stays vibrant for a long time but when it does eventually fade, it transforms into a dreamy seafoam green. For vibrant results, apply Aquamarine to level 10 platinum blonde hair.🫧💙

Tips for Keeping Your Vivid Color Fresh ✨

Rinse with cold water: It helps seal the hair cuticle to lock in color and prevent bleeding and fading.🧊

Extend time between washes: Dry shampoo is your BFF!💨

Style smart: Braids and buns are not only cute but also color-safe.🎀

Use the right products: Stick to sulfate- and alcohol-free hair care to keep your color vibrant.🧴

2025 is here and Pantone just dropped their Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse! ☕🤎 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.🍫✨

What is Mocha Mousse?🤔

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 Fox🤎

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.🤩🌰

• 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.✨

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

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

@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!
