2025 is here and Pantone just dropped their Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse! ☕🤎 This warm, earthy shade has us dreaming of cozy mornings with a cup of coffee, soft sweaters, and of course, stunning hair transformations.😏 So, grab your dye bowls and brushes because we’re breaking down how to achieve and SLAY this trend using Arctic Fox Hair Color. Let’s make this the year of rich, mocha vibes.🍫✨

What is Mocha Mousse?🤔

Mocha Mousse is the ultimate blend of soft brown and warm undertones, creating a shade that is luxurious and grounding.✨ Think creamy coffee tones mixed with a hint of golden warmth—it’s a hue that radiates coziness and sophistication. Perfect for starting a new chapter in 2025, Mocha Mousse gives off relaxed yet confident energy. It’s earthy, approachable, and pairs beautifully with the neutral and metallic trends we’re seeing everywhere. This shade is also incredibly versatile. Whether you want a full-on monochromatic look or add a contrasting color to your usual bold locks, Mocha Mousse vibes with any aesthetic.😌🧸

Getting Pantone’s Color of the Year with Arctic Fox🤎

Ready to make Mocha Mousse your go-to shade? Here’s how you can create this dreamy color using Arctic Fox Hair Color’s vegan and cruelty-free dyes:

1. Start with a Light Base: If your hair is darker than a medium brown, we recommend lightening it to a level 6 or 7 for the Mocha Mousse tones to really pop. Use our Bleach, Please collection for a gentle, effective lift. 🌟
2. Mix Your Perfect Shade: To nail the Mocha Mousse look, mix 90% Arctic Mist Diluter, 8% Sunset Orange and 2% Phantom Green. For deeper tones, add a splash of Wrath or Ritual to bring out those rich coffee vibes.🧋 
3. Application Time: Apply the mixture evenly from root to tip, ensuring every strand is coated. Let it process for 30-45 minutes for that vibrant, long-lasting color we’re known for.😉
4. Rinse and Reveal: Rinse with cold water to lock in your color and get ready to live your Mocha Mousse fantasy.🤩🌰

Keep Your Mocha Mousse Fresh AF💫

Once you’ve achieved your perfect Mocha Mousse look, you’ll want to keep it looking fresh and fabulous! Here’s how:

• Wash Smart: Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, like our Resurrected Shampoo and Conditioner set, to keep your color vibrant for as long as possible.🫧
• Cold Water Rinse: Always rinse with cold water to seal the hair cuticle and prevent fading.💧
• Deep Condition: Hydration is key! Treat your hair weekly with a moisturizing mask like Pool Party to keep it soft and shiny.✨
• Wash Less Often: Keep your Mocha Mousse shade around longer by extending the time between wash days with Dry Shampoo and cute hairstyles.​​👩🏽

As winter approaches, the cold, dry air can take a toll on your hair, leaving it feeling brittle, dry, and lackluster. But don’t worry, Arctic Fox has your back! With a few simple tricks and the right products, you can keep your hair healthy, hydrated, and vibrant all season long.😌 From weekly hair masks to color-safe shampoo, we’ve got the perfect solutions to help you slay the winter months with gorgeous, nourished locks.

1. Hydrate with Pool Party Foaming Hydrating Mask 🛁✨

Winter air is notoriously drying, so it’s important to give your hair some extra love. Pool Party Foaming Hydrating Mask is a game-changer for dry, thirsty strands. Apply it once a week to give your hair a deep, replenishing boost of moisture. This rich mask will leave your locks feeling soft, shiny, and super nourished—perfect for combatting the cold, dry air outside. Bonus: it smells amazing, so you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped out of a spa!🌊💆‍♀️

2. Extra TLC with Money Hunny 💛

For those extra dry spots or parched ends, Money Hunny is your go-to for a little extra tender love and care. This nourishing repair serum adds hydration and shine, making it the perfect treatment for dry, damaged strands. Whether you apply it to damp hair for a silky smooth finish or use it on dry ends for a quick shine boost, Money Hunny is the little luxury your hair deserves.✨👑

3. Keep Your Color Vibrant with Resurrected Shampoo & Conditioner 💧💇‍♀️

Maintaining vibrant color during the winter can be tricky, especially with the harsh, dry air. The solution? Arctic Fox Resurrected Shampoo & Conditioner! These color-safe products will keep your color looking fresh while gently cleansing and moisturizing your hair. Tip: Wash your hair with cold water to help seal the cuticle and preserve your color longer. The cold water also prevents excess moisture loss, helping your strands stay soft and shiny.🌈💦

Additional Winter Hair Care Tips🌨️

While products are key, there are a few other simple habits that can help protect your hair this season:

• Protective Hairstyles: Try wearing your hair in braids or buns to minimize exposure to the cold and prevent split ends. These styles help lock in moisture and keep your hair tucked away from the elements. 💁‍♀️✨
• Wear a Hat or Scarf: Protect your hair from the harsh winter winds with a cozy hat or jumbo scarf—especially a silk-lined one! Silk-lined hats will prevent static and frizz while protecting your hair from the drying effects of the cold.🧢🧣
• Invest in a Humidifier: Dry indoor heat can strip moisture from your hair, but adding a humidifier to your space helps replenish hydration in the air, leaving your hair feeling soft and moisturized.🌬️💧
• Extend Time Between Wash Days: Winter weather can make your scalp dry, so try extending the time between washes to keep natural oils intact and maintain your hair’s moisture balance. When you do wash, always use a gentle, color-safe shampoo and conditioner and rinse with cold water.🥶⏳
• Avoid Hot Tools: While it's tempting to reach for your curlers or flat iron while styling, try to limit your use of hot tools in the winter months. Heat can further dry out your strands, so embrace your natural texture or air-dry your hair whenever possible.🧖‍♀️💨
