Arctic Fox Hair Dye Instructions

Dying your hair is an intricate process. If you are nervous about how the color will come out on your hair, I would suggest the Strand test (instructions for the strand test can be found below instructions for hair dying). If you're ready to get dying, here are the instructions, step by step, as recommended by the arctic fox website.

Instructions for Arctic Fox Hair Dye Application:

Step 1:

Shampoo your hair thoroughly, but do not condition it, but dry your hair thoroughly.

Some of the best shampoos for color treated hair are:

Matrix Biolage ColorLast Shampoo
Pureology Hydrate Shampoo (For Dry Colour-Treated Hair)

Step 2:

Use coconut oil, vaseline, or another protective cream around your hairline to protect your skin from being stained.

Step 3:

Pour the desired amount of your dye into a bowl and then put on protective gloves.

Step 4:

Begin applying the dye, as evenly as possible with your color brush. Work from the root to the ends, beginning at the nape of the neck and working upwards.

Step 5:

After you have colored your hair the desired amount, place a plastic cap over your hair and leave it on for at least a half an hour (due to the lacking of harsh chemicals in the Arctic Fox hair dyes, it is perfectly safe to leave the dye in longer).

Step 6:

Once the hair is set, remove the cap and rinse your hair (it is recommended that for your first rinse, you just rinse in the sink, not in the shower. You want to rinse your hair until the water runs clear. Wait for your hair to fully dry before sleeping, if your skin was stained, you can remove the stain with a little rubbing alcohol.

Instructions For Strand Test:

The strand test can be used to see how a color will show in your hair.

Step 1:

Shampoo your hair, but don't condition it, and allow it to dry.

Step 2:

Section out about one-inch strands of your hair in a hidden place.

Step 3:

Evenly distribute dye on your test piece until it becomes frothy.

Step 4:

Wrap the dyed hair in tin foil and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.

Step 5:

Unwrap the hair and rinse with water until the water runs clear.

Step 6:

Allow hair to dry and observe the results. You may find you'll have to pre-lighten your hair and you might want to mix two colors together for your desired result. You may even want to experiment and dilute your dye with Arctic Mist.
