ARCTIC FOX 100% VEGAN TRANSYLVANIA SEMI PERMANENT HAIR DYE COLOR 4 OZ

Smells amazing and good blue based black. Dilutes to a lovely smokey blue. As it's thicker than most hair dyes it does require more precision when applying to ensure even coverage. Compared to other hair dyes it is quite pricey, but the company is a good company to support for cruelty free hair care.

I have used this product twice and I am very happy with it. First of all, who wants to put something on their hair which has been tested on animals or contains animal products. This product is cruelty free and animal free. Secondly the quality of product is very good. It went on easily and covered my grey really well too. It delivers salon quality results at a fraction of the price. I did manage to get some in the bath and on the tiled walls, but it came off without any issues. I will definitely be buying this again.

Okay, initially, I was very happy with this product. It is very pigmented. However, I've come 180 on this and decided I hate it. I put this over virgin medium ash brown hair. I've just had my hair bleached TWICE at a salon to get rid of it, and they still couldn't get it out.Pros:* very pigmented* nice colourCons:* only lasts about a week before needing a top up* when it fades, it goes a hideous green.* You cannot get this out. I've used dandruff shampoo and other high-SLS shampoos to try to strip the colour, and it just continued to get a worse shade from there.* No, seriously - I've just paid over £100 for a professional bleach by a hairdresser who used 12vol TWICE and there are *still* streaks from this.Look, end of the day, if a professional salon still can't get the streaks out from this, that's ridiculous. I got this semi-permanent because I wanted something that was non-permanent. I'm really unhappy with this product, and would absolutely not recommend it.The stylist at the salon today said the only way to get this out is to cut it out. That is not what I want from a semi-permanent.

Great hair dye, only downfall is it stains your skin a bit but it washes off.

Basically, this is the best ever blue-black dye I have ever used. It's not mega blue but it's not a black that still makes your hair have tones of brown in it. Only thing i'd say is don't put loads on first time around. I think I used too much when i did it and for the first few washes LOADS of purple was coming out with my shampoo. I also managed to get it on my white pillow case because I wasn't careful but it does wash off! The colour lasts ages though and I think only the roots will need touching up next time I do it. My hair has stayed really soft also which is impressive for a semi-permanent.

This hair dye is really well respected and I bought it based on other people's shining reviews of it and for the fact that it contains only plant-based products, which should hopefully be kinder to my hair.First the positives:I chose black and was impressed by how black it made my hair. I mean, I've been dying my hair black for about 25 years, but the Arctic Fox black is REALLY BLACK! It also goes on with no fuss, no hassle and a minimum of mess (it's semi-perm, so accidental spillage is not a big deal. Mostly...)Negatives:It lasts about 2 washes. I don't wash my hair with shampoo every day - usually about once or twice a week, so to my dismay, by the second wash with shampoo and lukewarm water (about the 3rd week of actual coverag) my original colour was mostly back.It's really messy whilst on your head. I have a habit of touching my hair a lot. No idea why, but I tuck bits behind my ears, scoop bits back into a pony tail and let it dangle free, run my fingers through it to de-tangle and so on. Whenever I do this, I get black all over my nails and finger tips which I have to immediately wash off. Yes, I know it's a semi-perm hair dye, but it seems to come off onto my fingers more noticeably than other semi-perms I've used.It doesn't make a dent on grey hairs. To be fair, it never claims to be suitable for grey hairs, but I thought it would make a very slight difference. Unfortunately not. I'm an elder Goth who is just starting to go grey at the sides and once the rest of my hair was dyed jet black, the grey parts stood out like a sore thumb. This may or may not be the look you are going for, and whilst it didn't bother me too much - I was disappointed that the dye didn't do anything at all to mute the greys.So would I recommend it? Sure - if you've never used it before, definitely give it a go. The fact that it contains only nice ingredients should be an immediate attraction to the product. But my experience, whilst not a total disappointment, was very much a "meh" experience as I was expecting a lot more. Your mileage may vary, of course...

The colour is really nice but the smell is awful

Your bathtub and shower will be stained bright pink. I guess it’s ok if you like pink but if you rent your landlord won’t be happy. It will stain your skin as well, this is easier to clean than your bathtub will be. It also made my fingernails purple? And this is yet to come off. The bottle is also tiny for the price. I’d rather pay a hairdresser to tone my hair than go through this dye and bathtub cleaning process again.
