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

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.

I've heard a lot of good things about Arctic Fox so I wanted to try out their color - Let me say, I'm not a professional when it comes to fun colors - I've only used Manic Panic before - and any other color I've done has been of the more natural, boxed variety. So.. that being said - I wanted to keep my pink color - or, re-do it, more accurately. I had used Manic Panic prior and the color was all but faded, I was pretty much blonde with lovely dark roots. Well, Christmas was coming, vacation, picture time - you know the drill.. so I decided to try Arctic Fox... Beyond worth it. It smells amazing (I mean, that's not it's only claim to awesomeness but, it's important) and... I have not touched up, or re-dyed or done ANYTHING to my hair since that initial color and it's barely faded at all. There may be places I think it's faded, but I'm not sure if that's just me looking for it, or if it's legitimate. I'm still bright pink - no splotches of blonde, no weird color patterns (aside from the ones I had originally because of the remnants of the MP color and my natural roots), nothing. I'm beyond amazed. I left the dye in for 2-3 hours, so that could have factored into it's holding time but... very impressed. I originally bought the color direct from Arctic Fox, but had to buy another bottle here as their shipping time wasn't as accurate as I was expecting, but no big deal. It's the same price here with Prime as it is on their site with shipping so... no loss, and now I have an extra bottle for touch ups... if I need them (I'm not seeing the need anytime soon) I have shoulder length hair and I would estimate I used half the bottle - maybe a little more - I was pretty liberal with the application, since I didn't want to have ANY blank spots because I was being stingy with the color, you know? But anyway - the best color I've used, with the longest staying power. I'm on 4 1/2 weeks and still as bright pink as ever. (I shampoo my hair every other day and use color safe shampoo. I'd like to add that it's rare when I see the color come out in the wash - maybe the first week or two, but since then, I never notice much, if any, pink in the suds. Pretty damn impressed).

I have purchased Arctic Fox a bajillion times, lol. I usually stick with pinks, purples, and reds to color over my salt and pepper hair. Virgin Pink is one of my essential colors, but even combined with another color in those families, it typically fades out to a baby pink or lavender. I have no idea if I am an anomaly, but I have always had great luck with Arctic Fox covering my greys. I do not bleach out my hair, and it still covers well. The only issue I have had is that the color does tend to quickly fade at my roots; before I started growing out a side shave, there was no point in dying it before the color would last a day or two. I have been using fantasy colors for 30 years (off and on), and AF works great for being pigmented, fading out nicely, and not really staining. In my experience, the staining mostly occurs if you did not get everything washed out fully. (I always miss a spot or two along my hair line.) I have used AF on bleached hair (both virgin bleached and bleached over box dye) and have never had a problem with it coming out right. If you are concerned about staining, cut your dye with some conditioner and that should help a lot. If you concerned about fading, wash your hair less and wash it under the coldest water you could stand. If it’s too intense, and you want it to fade faster, use dandruff shampoo. I’ve included pics of what my hair looked like before dying and what it looked like freshly dyed using a combo of Electric paradise and Virgin Pink.

This color was easy to apply and the color came out amazing! Would definitely buy this product again!

I’ve used Arctic Fox Semi-Permanent Hair Color a few times now, and overall, I’m really happy with the results! The color payoff is bold and vibrant, especially on pre-lightened hair. It goes on smoothly, smells amazing (like grape candy!), and doesn’t have that harsh chemical scent that a lot of other dyes do. One of the things I really appreciate is that it’s vegan and cruelty-free, and the conditioning formula actually leaves my hair feeling softer and more hydrated after coloring—which is rare with hair dyes. It’s gentle enough that I feel comfortable using it more frequently for touch-ups or experimenting with different shades. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the fading. While it holds well for a semi-permanent dye, especially if you use cold water and sulfate-free shampoo, the color does fade faster than I hoped—especially on parts of my hair that weren’t as porous or lightened. Some shades (like red or teal) tend to bleed more during the first few washes too, so be prepared to protect your towels and pillowcases. That said, it’s still one of the better semi-permanent dyes out there in terms of color range, ingredients, and overall hair health. If you go in with the right prep and maintenance, you’ll get stunning, long-lasting results. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to add a fun, vibrant pop of color without the damage!

first pic is my natural hair , second is dyed !! Very pigmented!! i have dark blonde/light brown hair and it showed up great!!

This stuff works, and even smells nice! Like, I went through no less than 5 different brands from a local place and just couldn't get the level of pink that I had dreamt of having for decades. I hadn't heard of Arctic Fox before, and saw a couple of Reddit posts in various hair care subreddits that recommended the brand. Found them on Amazon and the price wasn't terrible. Y'all, I _cried_ tears of joy when I first looked in the mirror. It was just amazing to see my favorite color infused in hair that I had lamented the color of for decades. And it stuck around! It barely faded after the first shower. I learned to take cooler showers when washing my hair (also started using Arctic Fox's shampoo+conditioner just to be safe), and I've been able to keep the pink color going for literally months. The only thing that fades this color are my roots. I know it may seem like a bit much to call a hair dye "life changing" but it genuinely has been for me. I've been using this virgin pink dye for over two years now, and my pink hair has helped define who I am. Just recently (3 years is still "recent") went through gender transition, and this dye has given me hair that's as iconic as Super Saiyan Blonde. It brightens my day to see every morning, even two months later when my roots have grown an inch or two. Even as I type this review, I'm excited because my girlfriend is gonna help me "recharge the pink" today. It's legit been two months since we last did it, and it's still stupidly bright. We're just having to bleach and dye the roots, and that's it. The rest of it is still as radiant as ever. 🩷

I have no experience with dying hair and my 7 year old wanted to dye the ends of her light brown hair pink. Virgin Pink came up a lot in reviews so I gave it and try and could not be happier! I purchased the 4 ounce bottle and probably only used about a third of the bottle. It was easy to put on (used gloves) and rinsed out 30 minutes later outside in a kiddie pool. lol. The dye smells great!!! And she loves how it turned out!

Made my hair pink

Previamente había comprado Wrath y la verdad me encantó el color y la calidad del tinte desde la primera aplicación. En esta ocasión decidí adquirir Virgin Pink porque no tenían el rojo, y también amé el tono. Para aplicarlo lo combiné con un poco de Wrath que todavía tenía en botella, y el resultado fue un magenta muy lindo. En mi experiencia usando la marca, nunca he tenido problemas graves de manchas, sólo me ha pasado que si mi cabello está mojado, sí mancha telas, pero estando seco no he tenido problema alguno. Además, las toallas que uso para secar mi cabello siempre son fáciles de lavar y quedan sin tinte (no sé si otros textiles tengan esa facilidad de quitar manchas del producto). El olor es delicioso y la aplicación es muy sencilla, yo uso un bowl de silicón donde sirvo el tinte, mi brocha aplicadora, un peine de cola y guantes. Las manchas en la piel se quitan muy bien con alcohol o jabón, la última vez que me teñí se rompió un guante y se manchó toda mi palma, sólo necesité un baño para quedar sin rastros de tinte en la piel (con ayuda de mi esponja). El tinte siempre me deja el cabello suave y sin frizz, además del color pigmentado. Usualmente, me dura dos a tres semanas con buen color, lavándome el cabello un día sí, un día no, con shampoo normal. Con shampoo low poo me dura más, pero casi no lo utilizo porque tengo piel grasa. A pesar de eso, tenía más de tres meses sin retocar mi tinte, y aún tenía reflejos rojizos de Wrath en la parte oscura de mi cabello. Lo recomiendo mucho, yo tengo un nivel 7 aprox de decoloración en mis mechones, y me gusta mucho cómo queda el color (las fotos no le hacen justicia, en persona se ve aún más lindo). Un extra: el envío fue rapidísimo, me llegó al día siguiente de la compra (con prime).

Compré primero el rosa y como le funcionó perfectamente a mi hija, pedí después el aquamarine y luce hermoso, fue varios días y el tono que te queda depende del grado de decoloración que traigas, el pelo no se maltrata y tienen un riquísimo aroma a chicle de mora, en la foto luzco los dos tonos

Yo uso continuamente este tinte, tiene colores muy intensos, un aroma agradable y es fácil de manipular, no maltrata el cabello y puedes combinarlo con otros colores para hacer diversos tonos, para ser color fantasía tiene una excelente duración, 14 días aproximadamente usando productos de limpieza no agresivos con el cabello teñido, y su deslave es muy poco y progresivo, igualmente los colores se impregnan bien en el cabello dejando colores intensos, muy recomendable

香りは甘い香りがして、ブリーチした髪ではキレイに染まりました。 気分転換したいときに染めるのにいいかなと思いました！
