Ready to jump on the olive green hair trend that we’ve been seeing EVERYWHERE? This unique shade hits different. What we love about olive green is how it brings that effortlessly cool vibe while still feeling fresh and unexpected. 

This rich, earthy tone works year-round and honestly looks good on anyone with confidence. 

Stick around as we break down exactly how to get this head-turning color at home using Arctic Fox's vegan, cruelty-free semi-permanent dyes – your bathroom is about to become your personal salon!

What You'll Need for Your Color Transformation

Ready to make the switch to olive green? Here's what to gather:

• Arctic Fox Bleach Please Kit

• Mixing bowls and application brushes

• Gloves to protect your hands

• Alligator clips for sectioning

• Shower cap

• Arctic Fox’s Neon Moon hair dye

• Arctic Fox’s Iris Green hair dye

• Arctic Fox’s Phantom Green hair dye

• Color-safe shampoo and conditioner

Step 1: Prep with Bleach Please

Let's be real – this look is only achievable on pre-lightened hair. Arctic Fox's Bleach Please kit makes lightening your hair easier and less damaging than traditional bleach. Check out our detailed bleaching guide for all the do's and don'ts, or connect with our color specialists through our chat feature if you need personalized advice.

For the most vibrant olive green results, aim for a level 8-10 blonde base. The lighter your starting point, the truer your green will appear.

Step 2: Mix Your Perfect Olive Shade

Time to create your custom color. For a balanced olive green hair color, mix:

• 45% Neon Moon

• 30% Iris Green

• 25% Phantom Green

Pro tip: Always do a strand test first, especially when mixing colors. This ensures your olive green turns out exactly as intended and gives you the chance to adjust the ratio if needed.

Want to customize? For a deeper forest olive, add more Phantom Green. For something brighter with more pop, increase the Neon Moon percentage.

Step 3: Apply with Precision

Once you've perfected your olive green mix, section your hair with alligator clips and apply thoroughly for even coverage. 

Start from the back and work your way forward, making sure each strand is completely saturated.

Cover with a shower cap and let the color process for at least 30-40 minutes. 

Arctic Fox's semi-permanent hair dyes contain no harsh chemicals, so you can leave the color on longer for more intensity. 

Use this time to catch up on your favorite show or tackle some tasks around the house. Some dedicated color enthusiasts even let it process overnight for maximum color payoff!

Step 4: Lock In Your Color

When it's time to rinse, use cold water and color-safe products. 

Cold water helps close the hair cuticle, locking in color and preventing unnecessary fading.

For color longevity, wash your hair less frequently and always use color-safe shampoo and conditioner. 

Each wash will release some color, so minimize washing with dry shampoo to keep your olive green looking fresh longer.

Step 5: Style Your New Look

Now it's time to show off your new color. Arctic Fox's Money Hunny Hair Serum works perfectly for a sleek, polished finish that highlights your new shade.

Pro tip: Always apply heat protectant before using hot tools. Heat styling can accelerate color fade, so protecting your strands helps maintain that perfect olive green.

How to Maintain Your Olive Green Hair

The key to keeping your olive green hair looking fresh? A solid maintenance routine. Green tones are notorious for fading faster than other colors, but with the right care, you can extend your color's life significantly.

Preserve Color Vibrancy Without Drying Out Your Hair

• Wait 48-72 hours before first wash to allow color to fully set into hair cuticles

• Rinse with cold water only when possible to prevent color bleeding

• Use dry shampoo between washes – try Arctic Fox Road Trip Dry Shampoo to absorb oil without stripping color

• Add a few drops of your dye mix to conditioner for a color refresh during each wash

• Apply a UV protectant when going outdoors – sun exposure is the #1 cause of premature fading

Weekly & Monthly Hair Care Schedule for Olive Green Hair

Weekly Maintenance:

• Days 1-3: Style as usual, avoid washing

• Day 4: Cold rinse only (no shampoo) + color-safe conditioner

• Day 5: Dry shampoo refresh

• Day 6: Color-safe shampoo + deep conditioning treatment

• Day 7: Apply DIY color-depositing mask to refresh green tones

Monthly Maintenance:

• Week 1: Regular color-safe hair care routine

• Week 2: Hair mask to strengthen bleached hair

• Week 3: Regular color-safe hair care routine

• Week 4: Touch-up roots if needed with bleach + full color refresh

Color-Safe Products That Actually Work

• Daily Hydration: Money Hunny Hair Serum hydrates locks while also keeping flyaways at bay, leaving your hair silky soft and smooth.

• Wash Day Essential: Arctic Fox Color-Safe Shampoo is sulfate-free and pH-balanced specifically for vivid colors

• Between Washes: Road Trip Dry Shampoo absorbs oil without the lingering white residue that can dull your olive green

• Weekly Treatment: 

• Monthly Boost: Deep conditioning mask with added Arctic Fox color (just mix a tablespoon of your olive green formula into your favorite conditioner)

Remember that water is both friend and foe to colored hair. While hydration is essential, each wash removes some pigment. Finding the right balance is key to maintaining that head-turning olive green for weeks longer than the average color job.

Olive Green Hair FAQs

Can you get olive green hair color without bleach? 

On naturally blonde or very light hair, you might see some results. However, for a true olive green dimension, pre-lightening with bleach is recommended. Dark hair will only show a subtle green tint without bleaching first.

What skin tone looks best with olive green hair? 

Olive green is remarkably versatile. Warmer olive tones complement golden and warm skin tones, while cooler olive shades pop against fair and cool skin tones. Thanks to its neutral undertones, olive green works well across the spectrum.

What does olive green symbolize? 

Olive green represents peace, harmony with nature, and subtle sophistication. It's the perfect balance between standing out and staying grounded. Olive green hair color lets you be expressive without trying too hard.

What You'll Need:

• Arctic Fox Transylvania (deep black semi-permanent hair dye)

• Arctic Fox Jinx (electric blue semi-permanent hair dye)

• Arctic Fox Bleach Please Kit

• Alligator clips

• Shower Cap

• Gloves

• Bowls and Brushes

• Color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner

Let's Get Started!

Step 1: Section Like a Pro

Start with clean, dry hair, this gives you the perfect canvas for color magic! Grab those alligator clips and section out a chunky face-framing piece that'll give you that "wow" factor the minute you walk into a room. 

Then, section out another large chunk toward the back of your head for that peek-a-boo effect that's subtle yet stunning. These sections will be your blue statement pieces!

Step 2: Lighten Up

If your hair isn't already light enough, it's bleaching time! Those sections reserved for blue need to be lightened to a level 9/10 platinum blonde for the most vibrant results. 

Our Bleach Please collection makes this process super easy, even for beginners. Need more deets on bleaching? Check out our comprehensive bleaching guide blog for all the do's and don'ts!

Step 3: Color Time!

Once your bleached sections are thoroughly dried, it's time for the fun part! Apply Jinx electric blue hair dye to those lightened sections, making sure to saturate every strand completely. 

For the rest of your hair, apply Transylvania for that rich, deep contrast that makes the blue truly pop. The key here is precision—take your time to avoid color bleeding between sections.

Step 4: Patience Pays Off

Let your hair soak up all that color goodness for at least 30 minutes to an hour. But here's the best part: our semi-permanent hair dyes are actually deep conditioning treatments without harsh chemicals, so the longer you leave them on, the better!

Pro tip: throw on a shower cap, binge a few episodes of your favorite show, or tackle some chores around the house while your hair drinks up that vibrant color. Your future self will thank you for that extra time!

Step 5: Rinse Smart

Ready to reveal your masterpiece? Rinse out your color with cold water (hot water is color's worst enemy!) and your favorite color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. 

For best results, rinse the blue sections first, then apply conditioner to those areas as a protective barrier before rinsing out the dark sections. This prevents any unwanted color bleeding and keeps your blue sections vibrant.

Step 6: Time to Shine!

You did it! Now go show off your gorgeous new dark hair with blue highlights. 

Get ready for all the "OMG, who did your hair?!" comments—and the smug satisfaction of saying "I did it myself!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Stop Hair Dye From Bleeding Into Other Colors?

What Is A Color Block in Hair?

Color blocking is a technique where you create distinct sections of different colors that stand out against each other. 

Unlike subtle highlights or balayage, color blocking is meant to create a bold contrast between sections.

What Does Blue Hair Color Fade To?

One of the coolest things about Arctic Fox shades is that they fade within the color spectrum. 

This means Jinx will gradually fade to lighter shades of blue rather than those awkward green or gray tones you might get with other brands. It's like getting multiple looks as your color evolves!

What Colors Look Good With Blue Hair?

Blue and black are a match made in hair heaven! The deep, rich tones of Transylvania create the perfect backdrop for Jinx's electric blue to really stand out.

How to Choose the Perfect Purple Hair Color

Finding your dream purple hair color depends on several factors:

Skin Undertones: Cool purples (lavender and periwinkle) complement cool skin tones, while warmer purples (plum and wine) flatter warmer complexions. But honestly, these are just a guide, so if you have a warmer complexion but want lavender hair, we say GO FOR IT! 

Current Hair Level: Depending on your ideal shade of purple, you might need to lighten your darker strands for vibrant results, while lighter bases (level 9/10) show purples more easily. Try our Bleach Please Bleaching Kit to get the right hair level for your desired shade.

Commitment Level: Some purple shades fade faster than others. Consider if you want something that lasts, like dark purple, or something you can change up frequently, like pastel purple.

Maintenance: Deeper purples generally require less upkeep than pastel purples, which may need more frequent application. Make sure to use cold water and color-safe hair care products to extend the longevity of your purple hair color!
