- Q
Does this color need a developer used with it?
- Asked by Joy
- Official Answer By Arctic Fox - Brand EngageThanks for asking! No developer needed! All Arctic Fox colors are semi-permanent direct dyes, so they do not use developer or peroxide to work and should also never be mixed with any as this would result in a patchy and/or faded result. If the hair needs to be lightened in order for the color to turn out vibrantly, this must be done prior to applying the dye. But the dye itself is ready to use straight out of the bottle! 😊Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
can i use this in the shower and add some to my conditioner to maintain my color?
- Asked by yvanka
- Official Answer By Arctic Fox - Brand EngageYes! We recommend adding some color to your conditioner to keep the color lasting longer. Also to help with longevity of the color, the cooler the shower the better. And please use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner. Thanks!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does the dye damage my hair or hair color
- Asked by lexy
- Official Answer By Arctic Fox - Brand EngageHello! All Arctic Fox colors are semi-permanent direct dyes, meaning they do not contain any of the harsh chemicals often found in permanent oxidative dyes such as peroxide, ammonia, or PPD. It's more like conditioner with a high concentration of pigment, so it is very gentle and actually quite moisturizing for the hair when it's in! Because it is so gentle, you can reapply the color as often as you'd like - there's no time limit to wait in between applications 😊Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
how long does the dye usually last?
- Asked by chloe
- Official Answer By Arctic Fox - Brand EngageGreat question! How long the color lasts depends on many factors such as the specific color you are using, the level of the hair underneath, the porosity of your hair and your personal haircare regimen, but on average the color can last between 4-8 weeks for the majority of our customers with pre-lightened hair, and closer to just 2-4 weeks on unbleached hair. We have formulated our color to be one of the longest-lasting semi-permanents available, but for the best results, you will have to take care of your color. Here are some tips that might help with the longevity: Shampoo in cold water (as cold as you can stand it) Use AF sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner Use AF dry shampoo in between washes (frequent shampooing will fade the color) Stay away from alcohol-based styling products (they are drying and will fade the color) Avoid high heat styling Know that if you go swimming your hair color may be stripped almost immediately, especially in chlorinated water Add in a bit of color to your shampoo and/or conditioner to keep your color fresher longer! You can also check out our blog post, Reasons Your Hair Color Isn't Sticking Around, for tips on how to best preserve and protect your new color! ✨Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
does the black dye leave a gray after effect once faded?
- Asked by Arctic Guru
- Official Answer By Arctic Fox - Brand EngageHello! Transylvania is a rich, jet-black shade with cool blue undertones. Due to the strong blue tones used to create this shade, it can show up more green-toned on certain bases. It may fade to a greenish grey color as the dye washes out of your hair. If you choose to do a quick color removal, we would suggest a color remover made for semi-permanent dyes. Something like Joico Color Eraser works well, for example 💗 These products do have a lightening effect on the hair, though, so if your hair is damaged it may be more damaging, or if you want to avoid lightening your hair this would not be the best choice. Also, if you do end up going with a color remover, just be sure to confirm that the product is for the type of dye you used and works on the color you wish to remove. Some color removers specify that they do not work on reds, purples, or blues. Transylvania is a blue-black, so you do want something general or geared towards blue/green removal!Was this answer helpful to you

Do i need to mix this with any sort of developer? I'm new to the semi-permanent colors and how they work…

- Q
Will this color work on gray hair that is silver?
- Asked by JoJo
- Official Answer By Arctic Fox - Brand EngageIt can be hard to say for sure since unbleached and/or gray/silver hair can vary a lot in how well it takes color, but in general, if you stick with darker and more highly pigmented colors you should get at least a tint of color to gray hair! The best colors would be these here: https://arcticfoxhaircolor.com/collections/best-colors-for-unbleached-hair 😊Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will it bleed onto pillowcases? If so, will it wash out easily?
- Asked by JoJo
- Official Answer By Arctic Fox - Brand EngageThanks for checking. Some of the more pigmented colors can bleed onto pillowcases. Being a semi-permanent though, it should wash out although it may take a few washings. We would suggest blotting the stain with a stain remover, rubbing alcohol or a solution of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. For white pillowcases, a bleach soak can be effective. Always wash in cold water after treating and air dry to see if the stain is gone before repeating the process.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Do I need to bleach my hair first?
- Asked by Bilebill
- Official Answer By Arctic Fox - Brand EngageThanks for asking! Some of the colors - especially the pastel colors - do require lightening first. You can check our website for the specific color you are interested in. The description should tell you if that particular color would do better on lighter hair. And we always suggest to test on a strand first to see how the color takes since every hair base is different.Was this answer helpful to you

The best I've found so far
I have been using arctic fox for almost a year now. I have used to it maintain my hair in various shades of blue, purple, pink, and turquoise. I switched over from overtone because it was staining my hair, esp the dark blue. Arctic fox does not do this, but it also needs to be refreshed a bit more...

VIRGIN BLONDES - AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE !!!!
This product was an absolute nightmare ! Used this on my VIRGIN, all natural & very healthy dark ash blonde hair, from mid length to ends for a cool ombré effect. The color never washed out and it's been 8 months. I've tried multiple chelating shampoos, dandruff shampoo, the vitamin c treatment, etc...
