ARCTIC FOX Semi-Permanent Hair Dye Poseidon Blue - Vegan - 4 fl oz

First, understand this is probably a full day process if you want electric blue. I assume you either have naturally white hair, or you have already bleached the heck out of it. Here’s the process: - Wash your hair the day before & don’t put product in it - Put ample color blocking jelly (I use aquaphor) on your whole face, your ears, your neck, your shoulders, your arms, your friends… anything that might touch the dye. Don’t put it on your temples because sideburns are a beast. - Wear real rubber gloves, not hair dye gloves or latex gloves. - Work in sections, starting at the most visible places first. Your bangs, your part, and the back of your head (I have forgotten it and it was embarrassing) - Pause to wonder why you’re doing this. Is this worth it? Too late. Carry on. - Put extra coloring around these high visibility areas and, with your fingers, work it through the hair sections thoroughly. Don’t miss your sideburns. - Move on to the rest of your hair, working in sections so you can track where you are. Use clips. Use rubber bands. Use anything. Run out of clips. Find your binder clips from the office. So many sections. These chips don’t need a clip. How did you get so much hair? - Panic every time you drip dye on the sink. Wipe it up quickly. Put toothpaste on it if it left a mark. No, I’m not kidding. - Once you have fully colored your hair (probably with 8 full oz), slowly and painfully work the dye through every section of your hair. The thing is, this is important. It feels like overkill, but it is not. If you don’t do this, you’ll end up with weird and blotchy dye, and that isn’t good. You’re going for a nice, natural blue, just like you were born with. - Wonder again, “is this worth it?” Too late for this. Now you’re an hour into a six hour commitment. No turning back now. Also, yes, it’s worth it. Because you’re an icon. - Put your hair into a bun or two. Now, we are going to bake your head, and we’re going to use your own troubled thoughts as fuel. Did I forget to mention this is therapy? I meant to. - Find a shower cap. Put it over your weird, Medusa-themed mass. - Find a towel you don’t like. Perhaps the one you used last time. We’ll call him Mark. Mark and you are spending the day together. Wrap Mark around your shower-capped head with the tension of Mike Pence in the presence of a non-wife female. The point is to contain heat, like Mike Pence does, but perhaps less toxically (this is Arctic Fox, after all). - Some people like to add extra heat, but I find that my own bonnet of bees provides enough raw friction to sufficiently heat the situation. I should mention it is summer in Nevada. Our existence is the surface of the sun - I hang out with Mark in my head sauna for a minimum of FOUR HOURS, but usually more like six. I clean, I dance, I watch TV, I sort pens, I fold clothes. I write Amazon reviews. We all have hobbies right? - I don’t know your life, but if you can, sleep in it. - Rinse in a sink you don’t like (the laundry room sink is my go-to), USING YOUR RUBBER GLOVES, and use THE COLDEST WATER YOU CAN. People say we aren’t tough, but my dear, you and I are NAILS WITH NAILS. We bleed for days and don’t die… every month! No one is tougher than we are. Valkyries are our sisters. Cold water. Until it runs clear. Don’t miss your sideburns and behind your ears. - I usually am about to die at this point. I’m not gonna lie. It’s a process. It’s spiritual, it’s mental, and it’s physical. So I find Mark’s cousin Stacie and wrap her around my head and go to bed. You do you. If you have to shower (at this point, all that aquaphor has made you either so soft or so slimy), wear rubber gloves. You may dye your shower. I have no advice except toothpaste. (Someday, I’ll have to tell you about the time I stayed in a Berlin hotel and when I showered, my hair bled on their fancy porous tile. I got 10 tubes of toothpaste from Aldi and spent all night painfully smearing toothpaste on their light gray tile that looked like it was in a Smurf murder… But when I checked out, it was pristine and totally fine. looks like that someday was today) The color lasts about 3 - 6 weeks and fades quickly if you’re in the sun. Wash your hair as infrequently as you can. Pro tip: get matching fingernail polish because your fingernails might turn blue and blue fingernail polish makes that look intentional. If this seems like “a lot,” or “not possibly worth it,” you don’t understand how good this color is.

This blue shade is absolutely stunning! The color applies evenly, looks incredibly vibrant on pre-lightened hair, and leaves the hair feeling soft and conditioned. Like all Arctic Fox colors I've used, it has a pleasant scent, fades beautifully, and is easy to refresh when needed. The pigment is rich and eye-catching, making it perfect for anyone wanting a bold blue look.

Great blue vibrant color, stays very well if your highlights are very light

PROS: - easy to use. Straightforward instructions and nothing special you have to do for it. - smells FANTASTIC. - beautiful color. I was told my hair glowed with the color - no hair damage or breakage I can find CONS: - haircolor rubs off on EVERYTHING (hands, shirt collars, hair brushes, pillows, scrunchies, etc) - color has washed out by the roots after 1 wash so it looks grown out despite having just dyed it a week ago I would consider this a safe dye for my hair because of its safer chemicals and the lack of damage to my hair, but because of that it is not as strong or aggressive. Good for a short term color but not something I would be able to keep up with this product alone.

Really pretty color, I expected it to last a bit longer, after just a couple of washes in cold water the colour had almost completely faded. The bottle is also a bit of a nuisance and it’s difficult to get the product out, the dye was leaking straight out from the sides of the cap.

I’m really happy with this hair dye! The color turned out bright, vibrant, and exactly like on the box. My hair feels soft, shiny, and healthy after coloring, with no dryness or breakage. The dye is easy to apply, doesn’t run, and the color lasts a long time—even after several washes, it stays vibrant. The scent is mild, not harsh, and the instructions are clear. A great choice for bright, high-quality at-home coloring!

Extremely disappointed. Used this brand many times and always worked fine. But that was when I bought it from stores so maybe that's the issue? Bought this and used it and the color didn't take at all. Followed the directions. Got a replacement and tried again... again didn't take. Even after keeping it on for twice as long... what a waste if time and money. So disappointed! Won't be getting this brand anymore... smells great though 🙄

Combined this blue with the purple and they produced a striking purple that was almost metallic! I love this color and want a dress or gown in it. I will have fun wearing my Bohemian skirts, dresses, and jewelry with purple hair!

I dye my hair often and wanted to go ahead and use something without amonia that wouldnt dry out my hair so much, so I decided to use Demi-permanent hair dye on myself for the first time. It smells really good first of all, unlike permanent hair dye with the scent that burns pretty much every orfaces of your face. Super easy to use, colour is vibrant and almost completely washed out after a few shampoos. If you get any dark colour and use it over bleached/ lightened hair. You're cuticles will obviously still hold on to some of the colour but not much it just most likely won't get out completely back to let's sayyy....platinum blonde. "Artic fox" is one of the highest brands of semi-permanent hair dye out there so you really can't go wrong ordering this. It's great quality, fun thing to use if you want to keep switching colours often, (But don't dye too often and ruin your beautiful natural hair though.) Highly recommend if you're looking for Demi-permanents!!!

Faces away quickly

I used it for my daughter. The effect of blue color was only 10% on her hair..

Al principio creí que era muy caro, pero viendo la calidad, vale mucho la pena. Es muy cremoso, huele muy rico y deja el cabello súper suave y no sale el agua toda azul cada que te bañas, el color se ha mantenido y no luce tan deslavado como con otros tintes que me he aplicado. Te hidrata un buen el cabello y sólo basta con ponerte vaselina, en la línea del cabello, para evitar quedar toda manchada.

Lo recomiendo por completo, su costo se ve reflejado en desde el hecho de que no hay maltrato animal desde su fabricación, que sus ingredientes no dañan el cabello y que ademas dejan tu cabello con un color brillante, suave y aroma delicioso. Para aplicarlo solo basta seguir las instrucciones. En cuanto a tiempo que se mantiene el color, todo dependera de los cuidados que tengas con tu cabello, en mi caso con un buen color me duro 3 semanas cerca del mes. Aun sin retocar, no he podido deslavar por completo para aplicar un nuevo color.
