    Arctic Fox Hair Color Spotlight | Electric Paradise

    Written by Coley Baker ·

     

     

    Are you ready for our next Arctic Fox Hair Color spotlight, Fox Fam? Today we’re highlighting a shade that’s perfect for the summer but stands out in any season, Electric Paradise. This vivid, versatile neon pink has been one of the most popular Arctic Fox shades since it first launched in 2017 - if you haven’t given it a try yet, you’ve been missing out! Read on to discover the best ways to use this festival-ready, UV reactive shade!

     

     

    Electric Paradise is a vibrant pink hue with a peachy, coral undertone. It’s less of a hot pink than Virgin Pink, but still quite bright as a neon shade! And as a UV reactive color, it will glow vibrantly under a blacklight. Just one more reason you'll be turning heads everywhere you go!


    Since Electric Paradise is a fairly medium tone, it will turn out the most bright and vibrant on hair that is lightened to a level 8 or lighter! But it will give a rose gold tint to a natural blonde or light brown base! If you do a strand test and it doesn't show up well, though, you can add a few drops of a deeper shade, like Poison or Virgin Pink, for a more punched up version. Just keep in mind that on a darker base (or in a mix with non UV colors) the UV reactivity may be harder to see - the more vibrant and visible the color is, the more brightly the color will glow. And as the color fades, the UV reactivity will fade out as well.

     

     

    You can mix in other UV reactive colors with Electric Paradise to create a custom shade while preserving that UV glow! Porange and Electric Paradise mix well to create a neon peach color, or you can use Neon Moon and Arctic Mist with a dollop of Electric Paradise for more of a muted rose gold hue. A base of Electric Paradise with just a few drops of Poseidon or Aquamarine will give you a bright purple that will retain most of its UV reactivity! Of course, if you’re not concerned about the UV reactivity you have endless possibilities. One of our fav mixes is Electric Paradise and Wrath (for a deep rosy pink) -especially if you're starting with a darker base color! And Electric Paradise and Sunset Orange pair perfectly for a darker, deeper coral hue! @rei.lilithr used Electric Paradise, Sunset Orange and Virgin Pink for her custom shade!

     

     

    Not sure if your hair is light enough for Electric Paradise?  We always recommend a strand test first so you can see exactly how the color will turn out before applying it all over. But if you’re uncertain, and especially if your hair is unbleached, increasing the pigmentation is your best bet for ensuring a more medium tone like this will turn out visibly and vibrantly. Every AF shade has a swatch chart on the product page to help guide you in your quest for the perfect color, but if you have any questions about Electric Paradise or any other AF shade, feel free to send us an email at support@arcticfoxusa.com and we’d be happy to help!

    I absolutely adore the Raspberry color that was featured in a recent email! The email stated that the color was made by mixing Violet Dream, Virgin Pink, and Electric Paradise. Do you happen to have the proportions of how much of each color to mix in order to make this shade? I would really like to do this as my next color. Thank you so much for any advice you can offer!

    This is my go to color! I’ve tried a LOT of AF colord and this is the one that always leaves me feeling the most confident and comfortable

    Hello, I bleached and dyed my hair using this color for the first time. I guess my hair still had a bit of yellow tones in it so when I applied the color it came out very salmon colored. (I didn’t know about toning at this time) Any suggestions of how I can get my hair to be more pink instead of orange?

    Can you put a paselizer in with the UV colours and still have them be UV reactive?

    Hi give a 10 so I’m light blonde,and I love a baby soft pastel pink or a coral/peachy pastel colour what would you recommend??

    Claudette Tyack on

    I have blonde hair and I would like the brightest pink possible without bleaching my hair. My shoes r hot pink. I’m trying to get close to that for HOCO.The lady at hot topic said to miss virgin pink and electric paradise. What is your suggestion?

    JENICA on

    I have very light brown hair and my mothers is bright pink. We both used this and absolutley nothing happened it just all washed out. We left it on for 35 minutes. Any tips or reason why this wont work on us even though our hair is lightened?

    Chantel- it may cover depending on how much the aquamarine has faded and the color of the hair underneath. If the blue green pigments are still too bright it could possibly turn muddy because electric paradise has warm tones. Do a strand test on the bluest/greenest piece of your hair. If it doesn’t cover, consider bleaching some of the color out or use clarifying shampoos to help strip it over time. I used this on level 8 or 9 hair with some really faded out green pieces and it covered it just fine though.

    I have had aquamarine hair for over 6 months and having a hard time fading it out. Would this color cover? Do you have a blog post that explains what colors are best for transitioning. Just trying to figure out what colors are my options to go next
