Lavender - Girls Night with a Drop of Transylvania
This dreamy lavender shade absolutely dominated our Tumblr feeds back in 2016, and honestly? It's about time we brought it back for festival season. Whether you're channeling grunge goddess vibes or living your pastel princess fantasy, this hair color is the perfect accessory for your festival look. To nail the shade, Arctic Fox color specialists recommend applying a mix of Girls Night with a drop of Transylvania to level 10 platinum blonde hair. It's ethereal, it's edgy, and it's everything.
Neon Pink - Electric Paradise
Pure. Raver. Energy. This UV-reactive shade literally glows under black lights, making it the ultimate hair color for festival season and guaranteeing you'll stand out in even the most packed crowd. Electric Paradise isn't just a hair color; it's a whole vibe, a neon dream, and your ticket to being that person everyone's trying to find in their festival pics.
Highlighter Green - Firelights
Live out your extraterrestrial fantasy with the brightest green hair available on planet Earth. One thing about this hair color? Your friends will always be able to spot you in the crowd (you're basically a human version of a neon flashing light). If you want to go full alien at your next festival, Firelights is calling your name.
Bright Turquoise - Diluted Aquamarine
Pure mermaid energy, delivered. Apply this diluted Aquamarine blend to level 10 bleach blonde hair and get ready to seas the day at the next festival you end up at. It's fresh, it's fun, and it's the kind of color that makes you want to dance like nobody's watching (even though they totally are because you look amazing).

Festival hair goals aren't just about choosing the perfect shade; they're about making sure that color stays vibrant from day one to day three (and beyond!). Here's how to keep your Arctic Fox color looking fresh no matter what the festival throws your way.
Choose a Manageable Hairstyle
@itsiggyizzz in Frosé
Let's be real: who has time to touch up their hair between sets? Choose a hairstyle that allows you to rock out without constantly worrying about managing your mane. Some of our fave go-to styles for festivals are fun updos like space buns, braids, pigtails, or even a slick-back ponytail or bun. All of these styles let you let loose and have fun so you can slay all day without your hair becoming an unmanageable mess! Pro tip: If you're doing a slick-back look or need help taming frizzies in your braids, use our Money Hunny serum while styling for that extra polish!
UV Protection
UV rays from the sun can seriously fade your hair color, and nobody wants their vibrant festival hair turning dull halfway through the weekend. To prevent this, you can wear a cute hat for protection, or, if that simply doesn't go with your outfit (we get it, the fit comes first), Arctic Fox stylists suggest using our OG Hair Perfume and UV Protection spray to mist on your hair throughout the fest. It's basically like sunscreen spray, just for your hair, and it smells great (or should we say... grape?).
Hairstyle Cures for Sweating
Sweating is absolutely inevitable on festival grounds, and your hairstyle can only do so much when the temperatures rise and the crowd gets wild. The Arctic Fox team recommends keeping dry shampoo with you at festivals to freshen up your hair when you get a little too hot and sweaty. A quick refresh can make all the difference between feeling like a hot mess and feeling like the festival queen you truly are.
FAQ
What hair color looks best in the sun?
Bright and rich hair colors like purple, orange, and red pop even more in natural sunlight! Arctic Fox's highly pigmented formulas are designed to stay bold and beautiful, making them perfect for sunny festival days. According to Arctic Fox color specialists, our UV protection spray helps keep those colors from fading, so you look just as stunning on day three as you did on day one.
How to wear your hair to a festival?
The best festival hairstyles are the ones that look amazing and stay put. Think braids (classic or Dutch), space buns, high ponytails, pigtails, or fun half-up styles. The goal is to keep your hair off your neck while still looking cute; bonus points if you add some glitter, hair gems, or colorful extensions to really make your look pop!
What hairstyle is best for hot weather?
Updos are your best friend when temperatures soar! Space buns, top knots, high ponytails, and braided crowns keep your hair off your face and neck while still looking festival-ready. These styles also help protect your color from excess sweat and sun exposure, so it's a win-win.
How to stop hair dye from bleeding when sweating?
The key is using a high-quality semi-permanent dye (like Arctic Fox!) that's formulated to last. To minimize bleeding, make sure your hair color is fully set before the festival; we recommend dyeing at least a few days in advance and doing a final rinse with cold water. Use dry shampoo to absorb sweat during the fest, and avoid getting your hair soaking wet. If you do need to rinse off, use cool water and skip the shampoo to help your color stay locked in!
