Are you dreaming of a hair color that's as captivating as a springtime garden? Look no further than Arctic Fox's Violet Dream. This enchanting shade is a vibrant blend of purple and magenta, offering a unique and mesmerizing look. Whether you're a seasoned hair color enthusiast or a first-time dyer, Violet Dream is sure to add a touch of magic to your locks.

Violet Dream on Different Hair Levels

Violet Dream is more than just a pretty color; it's a versatile hue that complements a wide range of skin tones and hair types. Its highly pigmented formula ensures long-lasting color, while its warm undertones help to neutralize brassiness. If you're aiming for a bold, statement-making look, Violet Dream on lighter hair (levels 7 and up) is the way to go. The color will be vibrant and true to the bottle. For those with darker hair, Violet Dream adds a subtle, yet stunning depth and richness.

Caring for Your Violet Dream Hair

To maintain the vibrancy of Violet Dream, it's essential to use products specifically designed for color-treated hair. Avoid harsh sulfates and chlorine, as these can strip your color and leave your hair dull. Regular deep conditioning treatments will help keep your hair hydrated and healthy.

Mixing with Violet Dream

One of the greatest things about Arctic Fox hair color is the endless possibilities for customization. Violet Dream is no exception. Let your imagination run wild and experiment with different color combinations to create your perfect shade.

True Magenta

This mix will truly GLOW UP your look - mix 80% Electric Paradise with 20% Violet Dream for a magenta that will have a subtle glow in the dark effect that's oh-so mysterious!

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! 🪄

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 ✨

Since every hair type has unique hydration, damage, and porosity levels, it's essential to avoid any unwanted surprises, by doing that strand test! we can’t stress it enough 🫶

Remember: Arctic Fox is all about self-expression. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find your perfect tint!

@bigfatjenna in Electric Paradis

2. Space Buns

@hamiltonn_anna in Poison, Virgin Pink, and Electric Paradise

This playful and fun hairstyle is perfect for hiding unruly hair. Divide your hair into two equal sections and create two high pigtails. Twist each pigtail into a bun and secure it with hair ties or bobby pins. Space buns are a great way to add a touch of whimsy to your look, and your hair color will definitely stand out!

3. Twin Pigtails

@wweglamsquad in Poseidon

This youthful and energetic style is perfect for a bad hair day! Divide your hair into two equal sections and create two high pigtails. You can leave them straight or add a few waves for a more textured look. This is such an easy and fun way to show off your color and push wash day just a little farther out! 

4. The Half-Up, Half-Down

@hairpaintedwithlove in Violet Dream, Blue Jean Baby, and diluted Virgin Pink

This versatile style can be dressed up or down. Gather the top half of your hair and secure it with a hair tie, bobby pins, or some fun hair clips! You can leave the bottom half loose, curl it, or straighten it, depending on your mood. You can even add some tinsel if you’re feeling extra fun ‘n flirty!

5. Accessorize! 

@brynnsideout in Girls Night and Sterling

Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best. Add a bold hat, a stylish scarf, or a pair of statement earrings to distract from your hair - trust us, no one will even notice. And we KNOW your color will complement any accessory you choose.

Remember, confidence is key! No matter what hairstyle you choose, own it and rock your Arctic Fox hair with pride.

@marijantunez in Wrath 

New year, new me is a cliché that rings true every year. If you found yourself itching for a glow up the second the clock turned midnight, you’re not the only one! Certain hair color trends are still on the rise, while newer hues are catching our eye. Let’s dive into what’s trending in 2024 and how you can make them trendy AF with Arctic Fox hair color and custom hair dye mixes! 

Hair Color Trends for 2024 

Trend: Peach Blonde 

Peach blonde is expected to heat up this year, which is no surprise considering Peach Fuzz was announced by Pantone as 2024’s Color of the Year. Similar to the muted tones of Strawberry Blonde, Peach Blonde mimics that subtlety in a soft pastel peach tone -  like a peach sorbet! It’s close enough to a red-toned blonde, but still has a beautiful orange hue that softens up the shade just slightly. 

Trendy AF: Peach Sorbet 

This custom mix is a fun, vivid spin on the peach blonde trend, with a bit more pink! Because of the soft hue, you’ll need a minimum level 10 hair. Start with a base of Arctic Mist Diluter, and add in a few drops of Virgin Pink and Neon Moon. Remember, a base of color (or diluter) depends on the length and thickness of your hair! Your base should be determined by the amount of product you’ll need  to cover your hair and mix in the rest of the hair dye according to the ratios specific in the mix recipe! As you mix your peach blonde hair color together, the portion of Virgin Pink and Neon Moon should be equal drops! Add more Virgin Pink to lean more pink, or Neon Moon to lean more yellow - whatever your heart desires! It’s giving peach sorbet on a summer day. 🤤

Trendy AF: Orange Creamsicle

For most of our mixes, you’ll need to start off with a minimum level 10 to achieve the desired swatch, especially this creamy orange! Results may vary depending on hair level and overall hair health. If you’re looking to lean towards a softer orange, diluting Arctic Fox’s Sunset Orange hair dye will get you there. Use our Arctic Mist Diluter and just keep on adding until you reach your desired shade! 

Trendy AF: Burnt Peach

@sheaella 

We are obsessed with this burnt peach perfection. It feels like it falls right in between the pink and orange portion of the peach spectrum and we think you’ll rock it no matter the season. On Level 8 hair or lighter, start out with Cosmic Sunshine hair dye, add a dollop of Frosé hair dye, plus a few drops of Sunset Orange and violá! 

Trend: Violet Hair

Purple hair is always in, that’s why Purple AF is at the top of the charts year after year! In 2024, we’re going to be seeing A LOT of purple and violet on darker bases, giving a deep purple or Burgundy tone. Perfect for the Foxes who are looking to give bleach a break, this “trend” is just enough to boast a bold color. Just wait until your locks hit in the sunshine….OMG. 

Trendy AF: Tinted Purple 

Purple AF will forever be a Fox Fam fave. Painting it over a medium brown or dark brown base for all our dark-haired Foxes will absolutely do the trick! We’re obsessed with the subtle take on this style, highlighting certain areas instead of all her locks. You see what we mean by the sun, right? 

@violentinside in Purple AF and Transylvania 

Trendy AF: Lilac Dreams 

Now for even more experimenting! Any dreamy hue, you’ll need to start on a Level 10 Platinum base (really anything is possible when that’s your starting point!) This cool violet hue came from our very own dreamland and is made up of a bowl of Neverland mixed with 2-3 drops of Violet Dream. This mix stays on the cooler side, but it’s making us want to open our favorite book underneath a lilac tree.  

Trendy AF: Violet Magic 

For a smokier take on the violet hair color trend, mix up ⅔ Sterling hair dye with ⅓ Violet Dream hair dye. We can almost hear that witch cauldron bubbling up with this shade. Work your ✨magic✨ fox! 

Trendy AF: Vivid Violet

Now for the brightest violet of them all, on Level 10 hair, start with a base of Girls Night hair dye, and add a drop or two of Purple AF depending on how deep you want to take it. This is a HOT take on vivids, but it gives an undeniable twist to the violet hair trend that will stop anyone in their tracks. 🤩

Trend: Pop Star Red

If you’ve spent any time scrolling on TikTok (or know someone who has), you’ll know that red was the RAGE all of 2023. We saw celebs like Dua Lipa and Megan Fox take red hair color up a level and it definitely made us stock up on enough bottles to last all of 2024. Lucky for us and all the red dyes we’re staring at, not only is red hot, hot, hot for 2024, but it’s getting even bolder. We’ll be seeing bolder, brighter reds with blue undertones that may just take the center stage over the copper trend we saw everywhere in 2023. 

Trendy AF: Red Hot Fox 

We know you love a custom mix, and there’s nothing like combining two of our most popular red hair dyes to really turn up the heat! Mix up equal parts Wrath hair color and Ritual hair color for this take on red hot hair. 

@cygoesmeow in Wrath and RItual 

Trendy AF: Revenge Red

Say what you want about babes with red hair, all we know is they ooze confidence whether it’s their signature shade or their latest look on their revenge tour. A standout stunner will forever be Wrath hair dye solo.🤌 Wrath looks the brightest on Level 7 hair and above, but will add a dark red dimension to hair Levels 6 and lower. She’s one of our most popular shades for first-time dyers and is an excellent choice for those who want to switch it up without taking the plunge into bleach! 

@marijantunez in Wrath 

Trend: Cherry Coke Anyone? 

Rich, red based browns were on the up towards the end of 2023 but they’re continuing to take over in 2024! The Cherry Coke hair color trend is one that undoubtedly turns heads and we’ve got some secret recipes we’re ready to share with you. 

Trendy AF: More Cherry Than Coke

Ritual is the secret sauce when it comes to nailing this shade. On Level 7 hair and above, she runs a rich, jewel-toned burgundy, and leaves a vibey velvet tint on hair levels 6 and below.

For a rich, red spin on that Cherry Coke vibe, mix up equal parts Ritual hair dye and Wrath hair dye and pour it all over a brown base. This hair is sweeter than fine wine, baby! 🍷

@laurellevictoria in Ritual and Wrath 

Trendy AF: Berry Babe

Leaning into a dreamy berry vibe, this 50/50 mix of Violet Dream hair dye and Purple AF hair dye over a faded red base is definitely a winner.  The key here is the base! Starting out with a faded red already brings out the reddish tones from the purple hair dye being used. 

@atouchofmurphy in Violet Dream and Purple AF over faded red

Trend: Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a color that’s predicted to make a MAJOR comeback in 2024 - and luckily we have that exact color in our AF hair dye rainbow! With teal hair on the rise, you’ll want to stock up soon because we know this will be something you’re dyeing for on a whim! Aquamarine shines the brightest on level 10 hair, but our dark-haired foxes can still expect to see a deep teal tint.

@hadar_kawaii_hair in Aquamarine, Iris Green, and Phantom Green 

@cozywithsam in Aquamarine 

I mean…you really can’t go wrong. Our Aquamarine hair dye is all you need to NAIL this trend. 😮‍💨

Trend: Blue Jean Baby

It’s no surprise that retro vibes are trending. Nostalgic fashion and beauty trends from the 90s and 2000s have made their way back around and this denim hair color trend is the perfect way to pay tribute. While it may be within the realm of blue hair trends, this one differs from Aquamarine as it skews a bit darker. 

Blue Jean Baby hair dye is the go-to color to achieve this denim look - the proof is in the name itself! For hair that goes with everything, pour Blue Jean Baby over Level 7 hair or lighter. Even when she fades, she’ll give a smoky hue that feels just as good as those worn in jeans you never want to get rid of.

@jeks951_ in Poseidon and Blue Jean Baby 

Any of these looks calling your name? We can’t wait to see if you try one or all of them this year. And remember, most of our custom mixes start on level 10 hair, so if you’re looking to get to that starting point, we recommend kicking your year off with a little bit of Bleach, Please. 

Be sure to tag us on Instagram or Tik Tok @arcticfoxhaircolor so we can see how you take these shades into the New Year and show off! Cheers to a bolder and more colorful 2024.
