No-Heat Hairstyles for Dyed Hair
Recently changed the color of those gorgeous locks? It’s time to give that mane a break and switch up the hair routine with some no-heat hairstyles. Yes! Your hair needs a break every now and then from curling irons and flat irons to recover. Here’s some easy and fun no-heat hairstyles for dyed hair you can try this season!
Space Buns
Can’t go wrong with this whimsical hairstyle! This hairstyle requires minimal effort but makes you look like the trendy queen you aspire to be. Simply split your hair into two parts (you might want to add some AF Money Hunny Repair Serum to keep those buns nice and slicked back) and make two ponytails. You can also play with this style and wear your buns high or low! Once those ponytails are made simply wrap them tight around and use bobby pins to secure your bun. You can create a messy space bun or a super sleek bun, there’s so many ways to make this hairstyle funky!
Heatless Curls With Overnight Braids
Tend to reach for the snooze button every morning? We’ve got the perfect no-heat hairstyle for you! The best overnight heatless curls come from damp clean hair, so make sure you give your hair a nice wash with Arctic Fox Resurrected strengthening shampoo & conditioner! If you’re looking for a looser morning curl then separate your hair into bigger sections (2 can work) and make yourself some simple french braids. For a tighter curler create smaller sections that you can make into smaller french braids. The smaller curls will take a little extra effort the night before, but once you wake up you simply undo the braids and voila!
Slicked Back Ponytail
Nothing says chic with no effort like a slicked back ponytail! If you’re one of those gals that washes your hair once or twice a week this style is great for those in between days. You can always spray some Arctic Fox Road Trip Dry Shampoo to give your hair a quick boost if it’s feeling too oily. To get this look, comb your hair thoroughly into a ponytail, add a little AF money hunny serum to tame any baby hairs- this will help you achieve that sleek finish! Pull it to your preferred style by wearing your ponytail high or low.

Overall, this collection has more neutral shades and tones which we LOVE for fall. If you’re running out the door, all you need is 10 minutes to achieve a salon-worthy manicure. This minimalist design goes with any look and is truly a work of art on its own.

When choosing your next AF color, considering your skin’s undertone can help narrow down your choice and accentuate your natural features.
So what is an undertone anyway? Your skin tone is the surface level color of your skin that can change due to the season or sun exposure. For example, your summer foundation color might be darker than your winter foundation. Your undertone on the other hand is the underlying tone of your skin that is ever-present and doesn’t change with the seasons. Keep reading to find out more about how to determine your undertone and which Arctic Fox hair colors are best suited for you.
While knowing your undertone can help narrow down your choice of color, don’t let it stop you from fully expressing yourself. We’re all about breaking the rules at AF! Read through to the end and we’ll give you some tips on how to break the rules in a way that still accommodates your undertone.
Undertone Categories
There are three categories of undertones: cool, warm, and neutral. Cool undertones have a pink or bluish hue to their skin. Warm undertones have a yellow, golden, or peachy hue to their skin. Neutral undertones have undertones that are close to the color of their surface skin.
How to Find Your Undertone
Figuring out your undertone can be a bit confusing at first. Follow the tests below for an easy way to determine your undertone.
Vein Method
Take a look at your veins. A good place to look is around your wrist or the back of your hands.
- Do your veins appear purple or blue? You have cool undertones.
- Do your veins appear green or olive? You have warm undertones.
- Do you have a mix of blue and green, or can’t tell? You likely have neutral undertones.
Jewelry Method
If you have trouble seeing your veins or want confirmation of the vein method, the jewelry method is a great option! Most people are attracted to either silver or gold jewelry based on the way it looks against their skin. Grab a piece of silver and another of yellow gold. Try them on and take a look at which you feel best in.
- If you prefer the way silver jewelry looks on your skin, you have cool undertones.
- If you prefer the way yellow gold jewelry looks on your skin, you have warm undertones.
- If you look great in both or don’t have a preference, you likely have neutral undertones.
White T-Shirt Method
Throw on a white t-shirt and go outside in natural light. Pay attention to how your skin looks in comparison to the white t-shirt.
- If your skin looks rosy or pink, you have cool undertones.
- If your skin looks golden or yellow, you have warm undertones.
- If you don’t really see a change, you have neutral undertones.
If you’re struggling to figure out which category you fall in, or you’re a mix of cool and warm undertones according to the tests, then you most likely have neutral undertones!

How to Break the Rules
Rules are meant to be broken, babe. So how do you break the rules while still considering your undertone?
Frame your Face
Use the trendy money piece look or face framing layers in a color that does complement your undertone in combination with colors that don’t.
@chjango john.n1115
Split Dyes
Split dyes are a great way to incorporate multiple colors. Choose one side that compliments your undertone with the other half that doesn’t.
@itskcphan
Create A Melt
Create a melt with a color that matches your undertone closest to your face melted into a color that doesn’t match. Another option is to melt AF into your natural color. For inspo on the best color melts, make sure you’re following us on TikTok and Instagram!

Don’t Give A F!
Seriously. Do whatever you want! Rules are meant to be broken, and if you feel great in a color that doesn’t complement your undertone, who cares?! Confidence is the best complement.

IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) is an international organization that explores new ways to improve conditions for animals, people and the places we call home. Each year, we make sure to donate IFAW as they work to improve the lives of all animals across the globe. In April 2022, Arctic Fox donated 50% of our monthly profits to assist with IFAW’s efforts in Ukraine - providing assistance to those fleeing war with their pets. Whether it’s your beloved pets that live in your home, elephants in the wild or the creatures living deep under the sea, we’re always happy to support IFAW and their efforts.
Second Chance Rescue helps over 40,000 animals each year through adoption and innovation programs and vet services. This summer, a shelter dog who had an amputation surgery for a birth defect found a forever home with an eight-year-old boy who can relate, thanks to Second Chance.
