Virgin Pink Semi-Permanent Hair Color - Vegan - 4 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.

This pink shade is absolutely gorgeous! The color is vibrant, true to tone, and leaves hair looking shiny and healthy. As a hairstylist, Arctic Fox is one of my favorite vivid color brands because it's easy to work with, smells great, and conditions the hair while depositing color. It applies evenly, blends beautifully with other shades, and fades gracefully over time. Whether you're going for a soft pastel pink or a brighter, bolder look on pre-lightened hair, this color delivers amazing results. Vegan, cruelty-free, and consistently beautiful. Definitely a 5-star product and one I'll continue to purchase! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💗✨🎨💇‍♀️

This Arctic Fox dye is really nice to work with. The formula is creamy, spreads easily, and doesn’t have a harsh smell. The color is vibrant and gives a fun, bright result that refreshes my hair without feeling damaged. I also love that it’s vegan and cruelty free, which makes it feel like a more thoughtful choice. The bottle is easy to handle, and the shade looks just as pretty in person as it does online. Overall, it’s a great option if you want a bold color with a gentle formula..

I really love this hair dye! The color came out beautiful, vibrant, and really fun. I was impressed with how rich the color looked once applied, and it gave my hair a fresh, bold look without being difficult to work with. The dye has a nice consistency and was easy to apply evenly throughout my hair. I also love that Arctic Fox has so many fun shades to choose from, making it easy to experiment with different colors or create your own custom shade. The color payoff is definitely one of my favorite things. It gives a bright, noticeable result and makes my hair look refreshed and full of color. It’s also a great option if you like changing up your hair and trying something more creative than traditional hair colors. Overall, I’m very happy with this hair dye! The color is gorgeous, vibrant, and fun, and the application was easy. Definitely a great choice for anyone who loves colorful hair and wants to switch up their look!

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!

I have purchased Arctic Fox a bajillion times, lol. I usually stick with pinks, purples, and reds to color over my salt and pepper hair. Virgin Pink is one of my essential colors, but even combined with another color in those families, it typically fades out to a baby pink or lavender. I have no idea if I am an anomaly, but I have always had great luck with Arctic Fox covering my greys. I do not bleach out my hair, and it still covers well. The only issue I have had is that the color does tend to quickly fade at my roots; before I started growing out a side shave, there was no point in dying it before the color would last a day or two. I have been using fantasy colors for 30 years (off and on), and AF works great for being pigmented, fading out nicely, and not really staining. In my experience, the staining mostly occurs if you did not get everything washed out fully. (I always miss a spot or two along my hair line.) I have used AF on bleached hair (both virgin bleached and bleached over box dye) and have never had a problem with it coming out right. If you are concerned about staining, cut your dye with some conditioner and that should help a lot. If you concerned about fading, wash your hair less and wash it under the coldest water you could stand. If it’s too intense, and you want it to fade faster, use dandruff shampoo. I’ve included pics of what my hair looked like before dying and what it looked like freshly dyed using a combo of Electric paradise and Virgin Pink.

Perfect semi permanent hair color. Went on easily and thick. Great color. Great price and quality hair dye! My daughter wanted a kaleidoscope of colors in her hair. So, I bought six colors and it turned out really great!

guys u have to get this hair dye it is by far the best i’ve used. it gave the EXACT color i wanted without bleaching which is perfect because i have medium brown hair! preferably, i don’t bleach my hair just because i’m trying to keep my hair as healthy and damage free as possible. but again it gave a really beautiful color i was looking for and showed up a lot for my hair color! i recommend this brand to all of my friends already!!

It turned out soo good But it started to fade out after two washes

I absolutely love the colour and the smell of grapes! It looks amazing! But no matter how I wash my hair after I dye it my pillow and clothes are always purple even days after having washed my hair and dried it! My pillow cover is now purple and the dye is continuously rubbing off even 3 days post colouring

Made my hair pink

Es el tinte perfecto. Es la segunda vez que lo compro y vuelvo a quedar muy satisfecha. El color es igual y duradero, el aroma es muy agradable, el cabello queda suave y es muy fácil de retirar si se llaga a manchar algo

Absolutely love this dye. Every colour smells like candy and is so vibrant, looks EXACTLY as pictured and lasts months in my hair. After washing it out my hair feels like it used to before i ruined it with bleach. Amazing product and I wont use anything else in my hair!
