- Step 1: Shampoo your hair and dry it completely. Do not use conditioner or any additional hair treatments. Apply petroleum jelly around your hairline to prevent staining and wear protective gloves.
- Step 2: Start with a base of Arctic Mist Diluter, then add a bit of your more pigmented shade to the bowl until you achieve your desired hue. Note: Deeper colors like Purple AF or Ritual can easily overpower your mixture! Be sure to add a little at a time when using deeper shades to create pastels.
- Step 3: Once you see your desired shade in the bowl, perform a strand test with your mixture to check your results! If you love what you see, you can proceed to apply the mix to the rest of your desired area. If your result is too light, add more of your pigmented shade and try again. If your result is too dark, add more Arctic Mist Diluter.
- Step 4: Once you've found the perfect ratio for your mixture, section your hair based on the desired look. For full coverage, work with small sections. If you're creating money pieces, section out the front strands. For a split-dye effect, part your hair down the middle.
- Step 5: Apply the mixture evenly in small sections using the Arctic Fox brush. Leave it in for at least 30 minutes. For the best results, cover your hair with a plastic cap and use heat or blow dry for up to 15 minutes.
- Step 6: Rinse your hair in cold water, making sure to keep the color away from your face.
- Step 7: Style as desired, pose for a picture, and share your new look with us!

Um, just use sulfate-free conditioner instead..
Look, I LOVE Arctic Fox hair colors, but this is just a rip-off of the highest order. I literally have ALWAYS just used conditioner as a mix-in for my hair colors (purples, pinks) to tone it down, or to make colors of varying degrees from the same bottle for an ombre look.

Helps hair feel soft & protected when coloring
I admit, I have not tried using conditioner to mix with my dye but I also want to make sure my hair color is coming out correctly. I like how soft Arctic Fox dyes and this diluter make my hair feel so I'll keep using again and again. I use this diluter with AF dyes, which I have pretty dark/strong pigmentation right out of the bottle. I tend to prefer how the color looks after 3 washes so it makes sense for me to mix this diluter to make a lighter shade. You're kind of doing guess work when mixing but I will say that you do need to use a lot of diluter with AF dyes to actually get them lighter. In my book, it's better to be too dark than to be too light though, since I can always just wash my hair. But if you're trying to go for pastel hair, I'd definitely opt for more of a 1:5 dye to diluter ratio.

Look, I LOVE Arctic Fox hair colors, but this is just a rip-off of the highest order. I literally have ALWAYS just used conditioner as a mix-in for my hair colors (purples, pinks) to tone it down, or to make colors of varying degrees from the same bottle for an ombre look. Also, using conditioner makes your hair much softer after all that processing. I guess Arctic Fox is banking on ppl not doing their research before coloring their hair for the first time? LoL
Answer to Emily
No, it has no pigment
Question.
Would I be able to just dye my hair with this and it would turn into like a very light silver or white?
