ARCTIC FOX SEMI PERMANENT HAIR COLOUR DYE (8oz, WRATH)

元の髪が、ブリーチし過ぎてほぼ白なので、少し明るい感じになりました。 色落ちは何日間は続きます。

Espero que mi opinión le sirva a personas que no tienen su cabello decolorado. Quise probar este tinte porque una de sus premisas principales es que no maltrata el cabello y tenía muchas ganas de teñirlo de rojo. Investigando ya sabía de antemano que no me quedaría realmente rojo porque mi cabello es castaño oscuro, pero quedé bastante sorprendida con los resultados. El color rojo se nota super intenso si sales a pasear con luz natural, si estás adentro de tu casa con una iluminación tenue tu cabello se ve de tu color natural, es como si fuera un tinte mágico jajaja. El color intenso duro aprox. 2 semanas a pesar de que suelo lavarme el cabello todos los días, podrías hacerlo rendir super bien si eres de las personas que puede larvarse el cabello cada tres días. Tres meses después aún conservaba reflejos tenues rojizos en el cabello. La verdad el tinte si reseca un poco el cabello pero no es algo que sea irreparable, días después de que se salió totalmente el tinte mi cabello se empezó a recuperar solo de nuevo. La verdad es una buena opción si te mueres por teñirlo pero no quieres que tu cabello se maltrate o las puntas de tu cabello se abran, para matarte la tentación está muy bien. Repito, mi cabello natural es castaño, creo que a las personas con cabello negro es imposible que les funcione este tipo de tinte.

I should probably lead with: I think I have quite porous hair because most semi-permanents that say they won't cover grey do at least dye my greys *somewhat*. That said, no other dye has taken quite like this. I was starting from unbleached, undyed med-dark brown hair that lightens toward the ends + a pretty substantial amount of grey toward the front, especially on one side. I also have stray greys throughout. I see that a lot of Wrath users got a really RED red in their pics, but mine is definitely more burgundy-leaning, a cooler red/berry tone. (For reference, to coordinate blush, I used a mix of cool-leaning red and a desaturated warm purple.) My greys are pretty pink, but DARK pink - blend in seamlessly enough that the feedback I've received, early after using, is that it's not obvious there even is grey coverage going on, which is impressive when we're talking white vs darkish brown as the starting point. How did I achieve this? Again, I think part of it is just my hair. Otherwise, I started from clean, dry hair as recommended, really saturated with the dye as much as possible (dry hair makes it more obvious if spots have been missed), covered it with a bag, and left in for somewhere between 35-45 minutes, heating twice with a hairdryer. At the end, I put my head, still covered, under COLD water. Finally, I tried to rinse with tepid water, though I did have to warm it up somewhat because I was actually in shower and got way too cold. So yeah, this gave me much better results than I expected, but I was pretty particular about the steps I took. In terms of other aspects of the experience: - I had to take the lid fully off the bottle to get good amounts of dye out at a time - I wore gloves and applied a cleansing oil with citrus component around my hairline prior to applying. As per my usual, I still managed to get dye everywhere, including my forearm and somehow my hands(?), among other skin areas, and my sink. I used the same oil cleanser to remove the dye, both from my skin and sink, and it worked quite well. It had also successfully protected the area around my hairline. (I always use it or a citrus scrub with an oil component, rather than Vaseline, because they work and don't have the same propensity for getting onto my hair, affecting the dye job itself.) - My shower handled rinsing out well, with my being careful to wash it down as I rinsed the dye out; however, I stupidly forgot to remove the hair ties I'd used to create segments on my head, and they provided the dye with a chance to sit. My shower now has a dyed blotch. If the oil cleanser doesn't work, I'll either try bleach or dissolve some vitamin C tablets. *fingers crossed* - The product is scented. Comments about children's scent, Mr. Sketch markers, candy? Accurate. This made me happy, as someone who used to sniff Mr. Sketch grape and blueberry (as well as raspberry) as a child, to the point my mom took my markers away. I've also been really sad about no longer being able to buy Belcam Kids grape shampoo, if that gives a sense of my preferences regarding scents. I can understand, though, why some not might not like the scent, as I myself avoid floral scents like the plague. After rinsing yesterday and washing this AM, there is still a light scent.

Still need to do some touch up but this is all arctic fox!!! I use the darkest purple, the darkest red, pink and yellow. I was able to mix up some of the red pink, yellow, and purple to make a great orange for the ombré. I had my husband do it, and it took about 5 hours with processing time, including bleach. No stainss ANYWHERE!!! Unlike manic panic, I don’t have to panic about ruining my bathroom- this is also one day afterwards, and you can see that my scalp is not super stained. Which is great because both my husband and I failed to use gloves.

I’ve been using this dye for 10 years and it’s the only hair dye I buy now. The color stays for MONTHS, it’s truly hard to get it to fade but that’s what we like. It also adds moisture back in after using bleach (I recommend this brand’s bleach also because it does less damage to my hair). If it stains it’s easy to remove with rubbing alcohol or baking soda+ Dawn soap
