Item 2562933
Because everyone's hair is different, do the strand test and see the result of the color before full application. A patch test is also recommended to confirm you're not allergic.
Step 1: Shampoo and dry hair thoroughly. Do NOT use conditioner.
Step 2: Use coconut oil (or petroleum jelly) around hairline and on ears to prevent staining of the skin (optional).
Step 3: Remove bottle cap and inner seal.
Step 4: Wear protective gloves for application and pour desired amount into bowl.
Step 5: Apply color evenly with color brush. Begin at the root of the hair and work it evenly through to the ends. Start nape of the neck and work upwards through the head and be sure to completely saturate the hair shaft.
Step 6: Place a plastic cap over the hair and leave color on for at least 1/2 hour or more. Arctic Fox hair color will NOT damage your hair and has added conditioner, so leaving it on for longer will not hurt a thing.
Step 7: Rinse hair in tepid water thoroughly, until the water runs clear. For the first rinse, do not rinse hair while showering! Best bet is to rinse in the kitchen sink with cold water.
To prevent color bleeding make sure hair is completely dry before sleeping.

- 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!

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

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...

Ritual is nice, but hate Transylvania
I bought Ritual and Transylvania, but only like Ritual. I have medium brown hair with lots of blonde strands, naturally. Both colors covered very well and looks great initially. Transylvania is a blue toned black, which faded to green toned black after the first wash. I hated that. I used Ritual over the Transylvania to tone out the green, which worked well. I wouldn't recommend Transylvania, there are lots of better non permanent blacks. I would recommend Ritual though, its very pretty.
Blue jean baby
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Love blue jean baby on my bleached ends. Stays for at least a week as long as I use mostly lukewarm water and don't put shampoo directly on the blue parts. Is a really pretty navy color (I leave it on for at least an hour when dying)
Ginger Flare & Ritual beautiful
First, I used Ritual on my hair. it faded gorgeous to a dusty mauve. After the fade, I put Ginger Flare on top of the faded mauve. it is so potent and took in my hair beautifully. I absolutely love Artic Fox because the colors are vivid and so easy to work with. I left each in on my dry hair for about 1.5-2 hrs. I rinsed in cool water. It matters the condition of your hair along with any other colors or coloring like permanent you used. prior.
Love the brand, works great for my Locs
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
So I've used about 4 different bottles of this brand (Frosé, Purple AF, Aquamarine, & Poseidon) and I loved all the colors. Smells good, didn't damage my locs, & stains a bit but washes off. I mixed Aqua & Poseidon and it came out lovely :)
Warning for Blondes!
Hair Type Straight Hair
If you have blonde hair I would NOT recommend this!! My teen daughter used it and it's been very blue for four months. She wants it out and we have tried everything, even going to the salon 2 times and using color stripper. Beware!!!
