Description

What makes Arctic Fox Purple AF different from other purple hair dyes? Purple AF is our most intense, electric purple delivering maximum vibrancy and staying power. Semi-permanent vegan formula creates bold, statement making purple results lasting 6-8 weeks on pre-lightened hair. How light does my hair need to be for Purple AF to achieve maximum intensity? For optimal results, lighten hair to level 9-10 (platinum blonde). Lighter base creates more electric, true purple appearance. Won't show proper intensity on darker hair without pre-lightening to nearly white. Will Purple AF work as a toner for yellow-toned blonde hair? Yes! Works excellently to neutralize yellow and brassy tones. Apply 5-10 minutes for toning, 30+ minutes for full purple color. Conditioning formula improves hair health while providing color correction. How does Purple AF fade compared to permanent purple dyes? Fades gradually through various purple intensities to soft lavender tones, never turning muddy or gray. Semi-permanent formula maintains color integrity throughout fading, creating beautiful transitions over 6-8 weeks. Is Purple AF safe for frequent reapplication on bleached hair? Absolutely! Conditions and strengthens hair with each application. Free from ammonia, peroxide, harsh chemicals. Vegan formula can be reapplied as needed without damage for maintaining intense purple long term. Since 2013, Arctic Fox has created the best vibrant, conditioning, always vegan hair dye. We have a wide range of bold colors plus dye-safe hair care, accessories, and cosmetics (Foxology). Join the #FoxFam and express yourself with cruelty-free, ammonia-free, and long-lasting Arctic Fox hair dye products that keep your hair healthy and beautiful.

  • Good smell, great color
Color: PURPLE AF Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bleached my roots to a level 8, and applied Arctic Fox Purple AF onto them. Honestly, turned out darker than I expected, but I've heard good things about the way it looks as it fades, so I'm not too worried about that, and I still love the color. The back of my head lifted a little more than the front and it's brighter by a bit, but it's hard to get a picture of that lol. I recommend this color, but I can't say how long it lasts because I just dyed my roots 3 days ago and have only rinsed my hair once so far. My scalp is definitely purple so beware of purple nails if you scratch ur head. I love the way it smells btw, I've never thought it was overwhelming or too strong. I've used other colors from this brand in the past (sunset orange and whatever the red is called), and it faded within 2-3 weeks but honestly, I was 16/17 so I had no hair care routine and always washed my hair in hot water, so that's prolly why ngl. I'm excited to see how it fades. ... show more

  • Healthy BEAUTIFUL Dye for Hair
Color: PURPLE AF Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love Arctic Fox Semi-Permanent Hair Dye. I have used a few different colors (Green doesn't usually show in my hair (Dirty strawberry blond (or dark blonde/light brunette)), but blues and purples show up great. THE SMELL IS AMAZING!!!!!! Sorry to shout it but WOW! It smells like grape... to me anyway. And my hair feels so healthy after rinsing it out). Love it! If you are looking for semi-permanent hair color that doesn't leave your hair feeling dead or icky, then this is for you. For extra measure, I would also recommend their brand of Resurrection shampoo and conditioner. A wide variety of colors to choose from for a decent price. Ships quickly. AND you can leave it in your hair for 20 minutes or HOURS!!!! I have done so before and my hair still felt healthy and the colors were lovely. THANK YOU!!!!!! ... show more

  • To dye for
Color: PURPLE AF Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I haven't seen my natural hair color in at least a decade and 90% of that time it has been covered by one color or another (or several) of arctic fox dye. I've used almost every color at one point or another and they're all *chefs kiss*. They're super affordable, I have medium/long hair and one bottle will last me 2/3 dyes. Also the color stays so well, I only dye my hair once every 1.5/2 months because the colors still there, faded a bit sure, but always still there. I've tried a few other brands over the years just to see if there really was something better for a similar budget and I just keep coming back to arctic fox. Sure they don't have the biggest color selection but they are so easy to mix and match to get the perfect shade I'm feeling that day. I basically just keep every color in stock at my house so I can just switch colors whenever I feel the need to change. I've also been known to empty out the last of 5 bottles of similar colors just to get rid of them and the color always comes out gorgeous. Only issue there is I can't always recreate a color if I love it so much, but I'm sure if I cared enough I could notate the formulas for next time. ... show more

  • Makes a decent pastel
Color: PURPLE AF Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My hair was lightened to blonde with a few brassy areas. I put a few drops into my conditioner, left it in for 15 minutes, and it made a very nice pastel which is what I was going for. It looked pink when I didn't put enough in but I got it just right the second time. In my hair, the color seems to fade fast compared to other warmer colored dyes but it applies across multiple brands I've tried. This a very good product to make a lilac pastel on light hair. ... show more

  • Best actual purple I've found
Color: PURPLE AF Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
1 of the best purples. Purple is a hard color to get right because it tend to pull 1 way or the other on the color scale, either too blue or too pink. This 1 hits that Goldielocks middle. Of course it doesn't last as long as permanent color because it's not permanent! No developer is used the color is pigment based The BEST way to get absolute most pigment and longest lasting is to bleach your hair. If you have super dark hair try double bleach method which is far less harsh on ur hair than trying to go in once super strong (YouTube has excellent videos, watch a few to understand the process as much as possible). When ur hair is lightened do NOT condition your hair. You want your hair ready to soak up and absorb all the pigment it can. Arctic Fox will not damage your hair. It's basically a super conditioning mask that deposits color. Don't skimp on color get as much on as possible. Make sure you get every strand on all sides! Cover with shower cap and leave on as long as you can. I usually leave it over night. Rinse with cold water and follow bottle directions. Because I'm not perfect and I always miss spots no matter how hard I try. I blow dry and go through my hair to check for missed areas or not fully saturated areas. Right away on dry hair I do my hair again putting extra focus on parts I missed. Usually the areas I would brush up to put my hair in a ponytail. I cover and leave it for an hour or as long as I can. Then rinse with cold and wash like the bottle says. Color always comes out more even. Please be safe when bleaching hair! I'm no professional this is just how I get the best results. ... show more

  • Semi permanent hair dye- great for kids
Color: PURPLE AF Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used Arctic Fox Semi-Permanent Hair Dye in Purple AF on my eight-year-old, who has naturally darker brown hair, and we had a great experience overall. Because her hair is dark, the purple came out very subtle—more of a soft tint that showed best in sunlight rather than a bold, vibrant purple. This was exactly what we were hoping for: fun and age-appropriate without being too dramatic. The dye was easy to apply and had a pleasant scent compared to many hair dyes. I also appreciated that it’s vegan, cruelty-free, ammonia-free, and conditioning, which made me feel much more comfortable using it on a child’s hair. Her hair felt soft and healthy afterward, not dry or damaged. With regular washing, the color lasted about 4–6 weeks, fading gradually and evenly without any harsh or patchy stages. There was minimal mess and staining, and it washed out cleanly over time. Most importantly, she absolutely loved it, and it gave her a chance to express herself in a fun, temporary way. I would definitely recommend Arctic Fox to parents looking for a gentle, semi-permanent color option—especially if you want something subtle on darker hair that won’t cause damage or long-term commitment. ... show more
