    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! 🪄


    Top Picks for Tinting Unbleached Brunette & Blonde Hair

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

      • Ginger Flare: This fiery red is perfect for enhancing natural red tones or adding a spicy kick to brown hair.
      • Poseidon: For a subtle, yet bold tint, Poseidon can create a truly beautiful blue.
      • Aquamarine: This shade can add a delicate, sea-foam green cast to your hair, resulting in a soft and ethereal look.
      • Purple AF: For a bolder statement, Purple AF can create a subtle violet tint that adds depth and dimension.
      • Virgin Pink: This hot pink can add a playful and youthful touch to your hair.
      • Wrath: This deep, rich red can add a dramatic yet natural-looking depth to brown hair.
      • Ritual: For a burgundy-inspired tint, Ritual can create a sophisticated and luxurious look on unbleached hair.

    Top Picks for Redheads

    • Ginger Flare: This is an obvious choice, but it’s a must-mention! It will intensify your natural red hues and add a vibrant kick.
    • Poison: For a deeper, richer red, Poison can be a stunning option. It can add depth and dimension to your natural color.
    • Poseidon: This might sound counterintuitive, but Poseidon can actually create a beautiful, muted copper or reddish-brown tone on natural red hair.
    • Purple AF: For a bold and unexpected look, Purple AF can create a vibrant, reddish-purple hue.
    • Aquamarine: This can create a unique, almost strawberry blonde effect on natural red hair.

    Top Picks for Gray Hair:

    • Poseidon: For a subtle, cool-toned tint, Poseidon can add a touch of shimmer to your gray locks.
    • Aquamarine: This shade can create a delicate, sea-foam green overlay that compliments gray hair beautifully.
    • Purple AF: For a softer, more muted purple, Purple AF can add depth and dimension to your gray.
    • Wrath: This deep red can add a striking contrast to gray hair, creating a bold and edgy look.
    • Ritual: For a darker, more mysterious vibe, Ritual can offer a rich burgundy tint.
    • Virgin Pink: If you're feeling adventurous, Virgin Pink can add a playful pop of color to your grays! 

    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 🫶

    Color Spotlight: Arctic Mist Diluter☁️✨

    Color Spotlight: Arctic Mist Diluter☁️✨

    Hey Fox Fam! Today I’m spilling ALL of the tea about Arctic Mist Diluter. If you've ever dreamt of rocking those pastel shades or creating your own custom color blend, this little bottle of magic is about to become your new bestie. 😌🤍👯‍♀️

    Imagine this: you've got that perfect shade in mind—maybe it's a soft lavender or a delicate baby blue—but you're not quite sure how to achieve it without ending up with a neon surprise. 😱 Enter Arctic Mist Diluter, the hero of our hair color adventures! 🤩

    It’s not necessarily a dye and it’s not a toner…. So what is it?😳

    Well, think of it as the chill pill for your color.🧊💊 Arctic Mist Diluter is a dye base, without pigment added to it. This miracle mix tones down the intensity of our vibrant Arctic Fox shades, giving you the power to customize your color to exactly how you want it! It's like having a palette where you can mix and match until you find your perfect hue. 🌈🥰

    You might be thinking, “Can’t I just use a conditioner that’s already in my shower instead?” but that would be a rookie mistake! 👎🛑 😵‍💫 The difference being, conditioners usually have oils or silicone that can prevent the pigment in the dye from sticking correctly to your hair, causing a patchy or faded result.🥴 NO THANKS! I’ll stick with Arctic Mist Diluter instead. 😅

    Here’s why I love it:

    It’s super easy to use! Just add a few drops to your favorite Arctic Fox shade until you reach the desired level of pastel perfection. 😍 Want a slightly lighter shade? Add a bit more. It’s all about experimenting and having fun, without the fear of ending up with a color catastrophe. So go ahead and embrace your inner artist!👩‍🎨 

    And guess what? It’s not just for pastels.😏 You can use Arctic Mist Diluter to create custom shades, tone down a color that turned out bolder than expected, or even just to give your current hue a softer, dreamier vibe.☁️✨

    Just remember, the lighter the color, the lighter the hair needs to be in order for the color to show, so make sure your hair is lightened to an appropriate level for your goal shade to get the best results!☝️⚡

    Pro Tip: Use our Bleach Please collection to get the perfect starting base!

    Oh, and did I mention it’s vegan and cruelty-free? Yep, Arctic Fox always has our furry friends in mind, so you can feel good about using our products.🐰💕🌿

A halo color placement is one color on your first layer of hair, and a different color on the layers beneath it. It gives a gorgeous peekaboo effect and the styling options are truly endless! This fiery look from @alexajdmakeup was made using Virgin Pink hair dye and Poison hair dye. We love this color combo, especially during the month of February when red and pink hues reign supreme. Lucky for you AF shades are made for creating these daring looks at home! Virgin Pink hair color is a vibrant hot pink and will appear as a magenta tint on brown hair, its most vibrant form comes with pre-lightened hair. Poison hair color has a slight orange undertone that will prevent it from fading to a pink. Poison will give a dark, subtle tint to darker tones of hair but will turn out most vibrantly on hair that is pre-lightened to around a level 8. Give it a go the next time you’re feeling spicy!

    Now that you’re a pro at color combos make sure you tag us on IG @arcticfoxhaircolor if you try out any of these mixes or split dyes. We love to see you explore your inner hairstylist with our DIY friendly hair dye colors!
