ARCTIC FOX Vegan and Cruelty-Free Semi-Permanent Hair Color Dye (4 Fl Oz, RITUAL)

I used ARCTIC FOX Vegan and Cruelty-Free Semi-Permanent Hair Dye on my 13-year-old’s hair twice — once on pre-bleached hair and once without bleaching — and I was honestly surprised at how well it worked both ways. The color came out just as vibrant even without bleach, which is a huge plus if you’re trying to avoid damage. Speaking of that, her hair actually felt healthy afterward, not dry or fried like with some other dyes. Another thing I love is how long the color lasts. It stays bright and doesn’t fade quickly into dull tones — we’ve gotten months out of it while still looking good. And surprisingly, it actually smells good while applying. No harsh chemical smell, which made the whole process way more pleasant. What I liked: Vibrant color, even without bleaching first Long-lasting results (stays bright for months) Doesn’t damage or dry out hair Smells good during application Things to consider: Results can vary depending on natural hair color Semi-permanent, so it will eventually fade This is easily the best hair dye I’ve used. If you want bold color without the damage, this one is definitely worth it. Arrived quickly without any packaging issues.

I used this on hair already dyed red with permanent dye to refresh the somewhat faded color and it did a fantastic job. Gave it new life and vividness and the dye itself smells good and not chemical-y and has a lot of conditioner. It is very staining, though, so make sure to clean up anything it gets onto right away. I was surprised that it is actually more staining than the permanent dye I use. I used both "Poison" (Primary red) and "Transylvania" (Black) and to compare them with each other, Poison smelled better and was less staining, while Transylvania smelled a little bit more chemical and stained significantly more. Transylvania is a nice black though. It's slightly blue-leaning, but mostly a neutral black.

I have been buying Arctic Fox hair dye for a couple of years and keep returning to it due to its reliability and long-lasting colors for a semi-permanent dye. I've had different experiences with the different colors, having tried purple rain (now discontinued), virgin pink, and sunset orange colors. I will focus this review primarily on my experience with the virgin pink variety, as it is the one I purchased from this site and the one I am including photos of, but I will briefly touch on the other colors later in this review. I absolutely love the shade of virgin pink! It is a bright, electric pink. I lightened my hair to a level 8-ish light blonde using the bleach kit by Arctic Fox beforehand (not included with dye purchase). I found this to be a suitable level to start with, as I've tried dyeing over "virgin" (unbleached) brown hair before and the color didn't show up very well, though with a lighter brown I would assume that the pink would still show up, though perhaps not as vibrantly. The pink dye did temporarily stain my sink and some skin, but I was able to completely remove it from all surfaces using acetone-based nail polish remover for solid surfaces and oil-free makeup remover for skin. I only dyed the bottom half of my just-longer-than shoulder-length hair, and I used the whole 8oz bottle of dye. My hair is also pretty thick, so even after dividing it into 4 sections and applying dye to one section at a time, I had to be careful to make sure all strands were coated with the dye. When I've dyed my hair before, I don't remember using that much dye, so it's possible that I overdid it and possible that I dyed less hair in the past, but using the whole bottle seemed to achieve the shade I wanted and evenness I wanted this time around. While my hair was dyed, my hair care routine consisted of washing my hair about 2 times per week. I am fortunate enough that I did not require more than this. I used Arctic Fox shampoo and conditioner, purchased separately. For the first few weeks, I only applied the conditioner (no shampoo) to the ends, where the dye was concentrated. With the virgin pink variety, I could visibly see the water run pink in the shower each time I washed my hair, and the color did fade over time. I had no issues with dye staining the shower. I only once had dye stain a towel, and it washed out with regular detergent and oxygen bleach (note: oxygen bleach is not the same as standard laundry bleach). The week after dyeing my hair pink I spent a substantial amount of time hiking in full sun exposure, and the color appears even more vibrant in the sun. I did have some dye bleed onto the neck of a couple of shirts due to sweat that week, but it all washed out, again using detergent and oxygen bleach. I would not count on dye washing out of fabric, and I think I was lucky in this regard, but it's worth noting that I didn't have a problem with minor amounts of dye washing out of clothes when treated quickly, and this only happened that first week of having it dyed. It lasted about 2.5 months between when I first dyed it and when it had faded back to blonde (almost) entirely. It did not fade evenly. Personally, I did not mind this, and I liked the pink/blonde look. By my rough estimates, my hair was "completely pink" for 4 weeks and "mostly pink/some blonde" between weeks 4 and 7. It faded more rapidly after that, washing out each time I washed my hair, and I decided to redye my hair a different color after 13 weeks, at which point there were still a few pink streaks but my hair was mostly back to the bleached shade. I had a similar experience with purple rain (now discontinued) in terms of vibrancy and how long it lasted. After the virgin pink I tried sunset orange color and it's far surpassed the others in terms of duration. I am going on 4 months with sunset orange and it's still even and obvious. I have maintained the same hair care routine with the orange that I did with the pink, and the only difference that I can think of is that my hair was pink during the summer and orange during the fall/winter. Unsure if the season had an effect or if the orange is just longer-lasting. Either way, I was pleased with my experience with virgin pink and would purchase again. I would recommend this brand and color.

This product worked WELL for my dark brown hair. I’ve never dyed my hair in my life (not with bleach) and really wanted to turn my brown hair black. It does stain anything it comes in contact with, so make sure to cover any walls and floors, and get bleach for the tub you’re going to rinse your hair in. HOWEVER, it did dye my hair relatively effectively. My hair was jet black for about 2 weeks, and began washing out afterward. It was shiny and looked amazing, but it was a bit disappointing for how quickly it washed out. However, I’d tried three other hair dyes (which I will not name here, just know they didn’t work) and none of them did anything. This was the first dye to do ANYTHING to my hair, which I am very thankful for. It also didn’t damage my hair, and my hair felt silkier and looked shinier after dying it. It took the brassiness out of my hair which was very nice. I’d recommend it to anyone, but if you want it to be more permanent, either take a different color or get a lifter for your hair first.

Se vi viene fuori il verde vuol dire che avete sbagliato qualcosa. Se avete una base molto cenere ovviamente vi viene fuori il verde. Se lo fate nel giusto modo e avete una base argento o bianca verrà un bellissimo grigio che può andare un po' sul rosino o azzurro (sempre a seconda di cosa si ha sotto). Davvero consigliato

A cor é linda, tem um cheiro maravilhoso e super pigmentada. Vale a pena comprar. 5🌟

Tolle Farbe und hält sehr gut, wenig „ ausbluten“ beim waschen. Aufträgen klappt problemlos und der Geruch ist sehr angenehm

I applied it on Friday. After just 2 washes, it is already REALLY faded.

The hair seemed to get better after use. But on my dark brown hair, the color turned out to be more red.
