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

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!

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! 

Deep Purple

For a deep, dark, grape-inspired hue, mix 90% Violet Dream with 10% Transylvania. You absolutely CANNOT go wrong with this deep stunner. 

Berry Bold 

This berry-toned mix will elevate any look - mix up a 50/50 ratio of Virgin Pink and Violet Dream and you have a head turning look on your hands!

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!
