ARCTIC FOX Vegan and Cruelty-Free Semi-Permanent Hair Color Dye (8 Fl Oz, GINGER FLARE)

I have no idea how or why this happened to my hair, but this might be the blackest darkest black I have ever tried! I started off with FIRE RED hair, I dyed a dark brown permanent box dye over it which left it to be a dark wine red as in picture 1. I dyed it several times and couldn’t get the red out! I finally decided to embrace the goth in me and just dye it black.As you can see my hair is very damaged from past procedures it has endured. So I needed a good, a green/blue black semi-permanent hair dye. And after going through hours and hours of reviews on Amazon, I found that this black dye had green and blue undertones.BEWARE it stains.My big head couldn’t wait 10 more days to return home to dye my hair, cause i was sick of the red! And that resulted in me trying to dye my hair at the house of a friends I was staying with at that time. Now, my friends bathroom is WHITE. Everything from the towels, to the tiles, the walls and the counter tops is WHITE. I thought i was about to drop $100K to fix the whole bathroom after my dye project. To get it out of the toilet seat, marble countertops, wood cupboards and floor tiles and bath-tub I followed these steps, first dry wipe with toilet paper, spray bleach, let it sit, dry wipe, rubbing alcohol + cetaphil face wash (i thought the mix of the acidic and basic elements would help?), let it sit and then wipe with baby wipe. And for some reason the rubbing alcohol really helped with getting the stains out!Pic 2, after dye in the sunshine. Pic 3 is after 3rd wash, in the sun, still no red. Pic 4 wash 4. Pic 5 wash 5. It didn’t fade! Idk why, because each time I wash it, the water still comes out DARK. I also stain my hand or forehead in my sleep from sweat. But it comes out. The bathroom is fine, though when my hair shed, it would leave a green/blue mark if it was wet so I had to be careful to wipe it asap. My hair is still BLACK BLACK, I am amazed. I left the dye in my hair for an hour, I always wash with semi-warm water. I’ve been using the sandwich method while washing, conditioner - shampoo - conditioner. Maybe that helped it not fade? And sulphate free shampoo too! I didn’t wash my hair for 2-3 days after I dyed it for the first time to ensure it stuck in my hair follicles.THIS IS THE BEST BLACK DYE, NO RED SHINE, PURE BLACK.

I have many colors of artic fox. The sunset orange I bought here was a little too red but still did the job for me daughter's sunset effect but I've bought purple AF and aquamarine for my inlet daughter and now I'm using them myself. The green is from manic panic Venus envy because artic fox phantom green didn't do the job for me... but currently I have purple AF, aquamarine, manic panic Venus green and it's hard to tell but in my hair I put I teeny but if virgin pink but it mixed with the aquamarine to give this pink dominate purple hue which is exactly what I was going for so I added an extra layer color depth to my hair. I'm good about helping my kids achieve unique qualities. I'm second child loved doing the 4 different shades in her color scheme. Usually blue, dark blue, purple, and she's went from red to green. OMG! The turn it in her hair. My youngest daughter had a rainbow in her hair now it's a sunset. These colors are amazing! To say the least...I decided I liked the green even though it's not my top 3 but blue and purple are. I don't like pink but I was going for a galaxy plan. I thought a teeny weeny pink would work. It mixed with the blue on top but it still is a nice shade of purple that ads more depth to the hair color. I'm happy with the torn out every time for all 3 of us. It lasts a good while in our hair too. So long as we use the cold water method lol.

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. 🩷
