Semi-Permanent Hair Dye Purple Madness - Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Ammonia-Free - 5.6 fl oz

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 used ARCTIC FOX Semi-Permanent Hair Dye in the shade Ritual for years whenever I dyed my hair, and it was my go-to. My hair was bleached and naturally wavy, and this color gave a rich, dark mauve purple that looked vibrant and smooth every time. The color payoff was excellent, and I loved the scent. Application was easy and consistent. While neon shades generally need pre-bleached hair to really show, Ritual turned out beautiful on my blonde hair. The only thing to watch for is staining—this dye sticks well to skin, clothes, and surfaces, so be careful during application. This product is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to try fun, bright colors at home. It’s affordable, vegan, and cruelty-free, which is a bonus for anyone who wants to support animal-friendly brands.

I used Arctic Fox Semi-Permanent Hair Dye in Purple AF on my eight-year-old, who has naturally darker brown hair, and we had a great experience overall. Because her hair is dark, the purple came out very subtle—more of a soft tint that showed best in sunlight rather than a bold, vibrant purple. This was exactly what we were hoping for: fun and age-appropriate without being too dramatic. The dye was easy to apply and had a pleasant scent compared to many hair dyes. I also appreciated that it’s vegan, cruelty-free, ammonia-free, and conditioning, which made me feel much more comfortable using it on a child’s hair. Her hair felt soft and healthy afterward, not dry or damaged. With regular washing, the color lasted about 4–6 weeks, fading gradually and evenly without any harsh or patchy stages. There was minimal mess and staining, and it washed out cleanly over time. Most importantly, she absolutely loved it, and it gave her a chance to express herself in a fun, temporary way. I would definitely recommend Arctic Fox to parents looking for a gentle, semi-permanent color option—especially if you want something subtle on darker hair that won’t cause damage or long-term commitment.

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!

Se vi viene fuori il verde vuol dire che avete sbagliato qualcosa. Se avete una base molto cenere ovviamente vi viene fuori il verde. Se lo fate nel giusto modo e avete una base argento o bianca verrà un bellissimo grigio che può andare un po' sul rosino o azzurro (sempre a seconda di cosa si ha sotto). Davvero consigliato

A cor é linda, tem um cheiro maravilhoso e super pigmentada. Vale a pena comprar. 5🌟

Prodotto favoloso, prende praticamente subito. Questo è il risultato dopo averlo utilizzato 3 volte, ovviamente previa decolorazione, di modo che risultasse più intenso. Scarica tantissimo, ma il colore resta

Tolle Farbe und hält sehr gut, wenig „ ausbluten“ beim waschen. Aufträgen klappt problemlos und der Geruch ist sehr angenehm

The hair seemed to get better after use. But on my dark brown hair, the color turned out to be more red.
