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

I mixed Ritual and Blue Jean Baby to make the most PERFECT deep burgundy! Has a slight fuchsia tone in bright light, which we'll see if my work approves but I love it 😍😍😍This color is easy AF to apply and doesn't drip everywhere like some brands. It also doesn't stain your skin! I mean there's a slight tint on my rinsing hand, but nothing super noticeable. And it smells sooo good!The only downside? It takes FOREVER to rinse out 😫 I stood there for easily 15 minutes rinsing and rinsing and RINSING. The water would run almost clear, stop rinsing for a minute, rinse one more time, and OH LOOK THERE'S MORE COLOR.

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 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.

While not perfect, its by far the best semi-permanent dye I've found. I've been mixing Ginger Flare and Wrath; it lasted about three weeks for me. There's little to no mess and staining is minimal; don't go to bed with wet hair after using it though, even if it's a few days after the fact. It smells decent and deeply conditions the hair. Overall, I'm impressed with it and will likely continue using it.

It smells great, it is very conditioning and was easy to apply with a brush and hands.The only con is how staining it is and how hard it is to get out of the bottle. However, that is the nature of these products and not the fault of manufacturer.

Works as expected. I hoped it would add a little bit more pigment to my dark hair than it did, but it dosent stain my face bad at all. I've used this brand before and I've liked it. The lid on this one, once it was opened, isn't tightly closed when snaped shut at the top, so be aware you might want to keep the plastic bag it came in if you have leftover to use later. Can't wait to see it in sunlight though!EDIT: dark hair, color sticks to undertones! I walked into a different room that had a white light and the red popped immediately. Should do the same thing in direct sunlight!
