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!

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.🐰💕🌿
