Mastering Blue Hair Color with Arctic Fox 💙

Ready to dive into the world of blue hair? Whether you’re aiming for deep ocean vibes or a soft pastel dream, Arctic Fox has got you covered! Blue hair is bold, vibrant, and oh-so-fun—but it can also be a bit tricky to maintain. Don’t worry, though, we’ve got all the tips and tricks to make sure your blue locks look fresh, stunning, and totally Insta-worthy. Let’s break it down! 🌊✨ Blue FAQ 🤔 How do I avoid turning green? If you don’t want your blue turning green, make sure you start with a clean, blonde base. Avoid using too much yellow or green undertone hair dye underneath your blue. Keeping your hair a cool blonde or soft pastel helps keep your blue from leaning into green. Is blue impossible to remove or cover? Not true! Blue fades into beautiful pastel shades, so it’s actually one of the easiest colors to transition from. If you want to change things up, simply let it fade out with more frequent washing in warm water. If that doesn’t work try making a hair mask with shampoo and Vitamin C to draw out color, just be sure to hydrate your hair after! What colors are best to use when shifting away from blue? No matter what color you’re shifting from the color wheel is your best friend. Generally, you want to avoid complimentary colors as they cancel each other out and might turn muddy. The easiest colors that can be used to cover blue are purple and green since they are right next to blue on the color wheel. Check out our blog on using the color wheel for more details! Maintenance Tips for Blue Hair 💆‍♀️ Maintaining your gorgeous blue hair doesn’t have to be a chore. Here are some of our best tips for keeping your color fresh and vibrant: Protect Your Skin: Use gloves and a little Vaseline around your hairline and neckline to avoid staining your skin when applying dye. Trust us, you’ll be thanking us later!🧴🧤 Cold Water Rinse: After you’ve applied the color, rinse your hair with cold water. This helps seal the color in and minimize fading. (Pro tip!) For your first rinse, try using a kitchen sink instead of the bathtub or shower to avoid any stubborn stains.👌 Go Easy on Shampooing: Wash your hair less often to prevent fading and rely on dry shampoo to keep your hair fresh between washes.✨ Color-Safe Products: Always use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners like Resurrected to help preserve your beautiful blue hue. 💦 AF Blues Breakdown: Which Shade Is Right for You? 💙 Here’s the Arctic Fox lowdown on our most popular blue shades: Dark Blues Get ready to dive into the deep end with Arctic Fox’s dark blue shades—perfect for level 5 hair or higher!
