Ready to jump on the olive green hair trend that we’ve been seeing EVERYWHERE? This unique shade hits different. What we love about olive green is how it brings that effortlessly cool vibe while still feeling fresh and unexpected. 

This rich, earthy tone works year-round and honestly looks good on anyone with confidence. 

Stick around as we break down exactly how to get this head-turning color at home using Arctic Fox's vegan, cruelty-free semi-permanent dyes – your bathroom is about to become your personal salon!

What You'll Need for Your Color Transformation

Ready to make the switch to olive green? Here's what to gather:

• Arctic Fox Bleach Please Kit

• Mixing bowls and application brushes

• Gloves to protect your hands

• Alligator clips for sectioning

• Shower cap

• Arctic Fox’s Neon Moon hair dye

• Arctic Fox’s Iris Green hair dye

• Arctic Fox’s Phantom Green hair dye

• Color-safe shampoo and conditioner

Step 1: Prep with Bleach Please

Let's be real – this look is only achievable on pre-lightened hair. Arctic Fox's Bleach Please kit makes lightening your hair easier and less damaging than traditional bleach. Check out our detailed bleaching guide for all the do's and don'ts, or connect with our color specialists through our chat feature if you need personalized advice.

For the most vibrant olive green results, aim for a level 8-10 blonde base. The lighter your starting point, the truer your green will appear.

Step 2: Mix Your Perfect Olive Shade

Time to create your custom color. For a balanced olive green hair color, mix:

• 45% Neon Moon

• 30% Iris Green

• 25% Phantom Green

Pro tip: Always do a strand test first, especially when mixing colors. This ensures your olive green turns out exactly as intended and gives you the chance to adjust the ratio if needed.

Want to customize? For a deeper forest olive, add more Phantom Green. For something brighter with more pop, increase the Neon Moon percentage.

Step 3: Apply with Precision

Once you've perfected your olive green mix, section your hair with alligator clips and apply thoroughly for even coverage. 

Start from the back and work your way forward, making sure each strand is completely saturated.

Cover with a shower cap and let the color process for at least 30-40 minutes. 

Arctic Fox's semi-permanent hair dyes contain no harsh chemicals, so you can leave the color on longer for more intensity. 

Use this time to catch up on your favorite show or tackle some tasks around the house. Some dedicated color enthusiasts even let it process overnight for maximum color payoff!

Step 4: Lock In Your Color

When it's time to rinse, use cold water and color-safe products. 

Cold water helps close the hair cuticle, locking in color and preventing unnecessary fading.

For color longevity, wash your hair less frequently and always use color-safe shampoo and conditioner. 

Each wash will release some color, so minimize washing with dry shampoo to keep your olive green looking fresh longer.

Step 5: Style Your New Look

Now it's time to show off your new color. Arctic Fox's Money Hunny Hair Serum works perfectly for a sleek, polished finish that highlights your new shade.

Pro tip: Always apply heat protectant before using hot tools. Heat styling can accelerate color fade, so protecting your strands helps maintain that perfect olive green.

How to Maintain Your Olive Green Hair

The key to keeping your olive green hair looking fresh? A solid maintenance routine. Green tones are notorious for fading faster than other colors, but with the right care, you can extend your color's life significantly.

Preserve Color Vibrancy Without Drying Out Your Hair

• Wait 48-72 hours before first wash to allow color to fully set into hair cuticles

• Rinse with cold water only when possible to prevent color bleeding

• Use dry shampoo between washes – try Arctic Fox Road Trip Dry Shampoo to absorb oil without stripping color

• Add a few drops of your dye mix to conditioner for a color refresh during each wash

• Apply a UV protectant when going outdoors – sun exposure is the #1 cause of premature fading

Weekly & Monthly Hair Care Schedule for Olive Green Hair

Weekly Maintenance:

• Days 1-3: Style as usual, avoid washing

• Day 4: Cold rinse only (no shampoo) + color-safe conditioner

• Day 5: Dry shampoo refresh

• Day 6: Color-safe shampoo + deep conditioning treatment

• Day 7: Apply DIY color-depositing mask to refresh green tones

Monthly Maintenance:

• Week 1: Regular color-safe hair care routine

• Week 2: Hair mask to strengthen bleached hair

• Week 3: Regular color-safe hair care routine

• Week 4: Touch-up roots if needed with bleach + full color refresh

Color-Safe Products That Actually Work

• Daily Hydration: Money Hunny Hair Serum hydrates locks while also keeping flyaways at bay, leaving your hair silky soft and smooth.

• Wash Day Essential: Arctic Fox Color-Safe Shampoo is sulfate-free and pH-balanced specifically for vivid colors

• Between Washes: Road Trip Dry Shampoo absorbs oil without the lingering white residue that can dull your olive green

• Weekly Treatment: 

• Monthly Boost: Deep conditioning mask with added Arctic Fox color (just mix a tablespoon of your olive green formula into your favorite conditioner)

Remember that water is both friend and foe to colored hair. While hydration is essential, each wash removes some pigment. Finding the right balance is key to maintaining that head-turning olive green for weeks longer than the average color job.

Olive Green Hair FAQs

Can you get olive green hair color without bleach? 

On naturally blonde or very light hair, you might see some results. However, for a true olive green dimension, pre-lightening with bleach is recommended. Dark hair will only show a subtle green tint without bleaching first.

What skin tone looks best with olive green hair? 

Olive green is remarkably versatile. Warmer olive tones complement golden and warm skin tones, while cooler olive shades pop against fair and cool skin tones. Thanks to its neutral undertones, olive green works well across the spectrum.

What does olive green symbolize? 

Olive green represents peace, harmony with nature, and subtle sophistication. It's the perfect balance between standing out and staying grounded. Olive green hair color lets you be expressive without trying too hard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hair color makes skin look less yellow?

If you're looking to neutralize rather than enhance yellow undertones, colors with cool or ashy bases work wonders! 

Lavender tones, ash browns, or cool-toned pastels can help balance warmth in the skin. Just remember, your natural undertones aren't something to "fix," but rather a unique feature to work with!

How do I pick the right hair color for my skin tone?

Consider your undertone (warm, cool, neutral) and skin depth as a starting point! Yellow undertones pop with both complementary purples/blues and harmonious reds/oranges. Try semi-permanent hair colors first to discover what feels right for you. 

Remember, though, there are NO rules in self-expression! The perfect hair color is simply the one that makes you feel amazing. Trust your instincts and rock whatever shade brings you joy and confidence!

Does brown hair look good on yellow skin?

Absolutely! Warm-toned browns like caramel, honey, or chestnut can look especially gorgeous against yellow undertones. They create a harmonious effect that enhances your natural glow. If you want more contrast, try a rich chocolate brown with subtle warm highlights.

Is yellow undertone warm or neutral?

Yellow undertones fall firmly in the warm family! These golden hues in the skin pair beautifully with warm-toned hair colors like Sunset Orange or Cosmic Sunshine, but can also create striking contrasts with cooler tones like Purple AF or Aquamarine. Embracing your warm undertones is the key to finding your most flattering hair color match.

Your Hair Color Adventure Awaits!

Finding your perfect hair color for your skin tone isn't about rules, it's about joy and self-expression! Whether you're vibing with bold, neon, or subtle vibes, the right color is simply the one that makes YOU feel fantastic.

Remember, all of our semi-permanent hair dyes are vegan, cruelty-free, and conditioning—because your self-expression deserves the BEST! 

Look, transitioning from red to purple hair color isn't just possible—it's actually one of the smoothest color moves you can make. 

We've seen thousands of transformations, and this combo consistently delivers stunning results without damaging your hair. Let's break down exactly how to nail it with Arctic Fox.

Color Wheel Logic: Why Covering Red Hair with Purple Hair Dye Actually Works

Quick color theory breakdown: red and purple sit right next to each other on the color wheel, making them natural hair color transition partners. 

This proximity means you can shift from red to purple hair dye without creating those tragic, muddy tones that happen when you try to force incompatible colors together.

This positioning is why you won't need to bleach first—the colors will blend rather than fight each other. Trust us, your hair will thank you.

How to Cover Bright Red Hair Color with Purple Hair Dye

Poison covered with Violet Dream

Got a true red hair color like Poison lighting up your head? Violet Dream is your solution for turning those red locks into a stunning purple moment.

The science here is straightforward: Violet Dream's magenta undertones beautifully complement the orange tones found in Poison, creating a vibrant, warm-toned violet that looks intentional and harmonious rather than accidental.

For flawless application:

1. Start with completely dry, clean hair for maximum color deposit (seriously, don't skip this)

2. Section properly with our Alligator Clips—rushing this step is how you get patchy results

3. Process for 40+ minutes, the longer you leave it on, the more vibrant your color payoff will be

4. Rinse with the coldest water you can stand and only use color-safe hair products

The result is that show-stopping purple hair color that radiates warmth and originality in any environment.

How to Cover Cherry Red Hair Color with Purple Hair Dye

Wrath covered with Purple AF

If you're working with Wrath and its pink undertones, Purple AF is going to be your best friend for making the hair color switch with minimal damage.

This combo works because the pink base in Wrath already has some of the tones you need for purple—you're just pushing it further in that direction with our highly pigmented Fox Fam favorite. 

For this transition:

1. Apply Purple AF to bone-dry hair for intense color payoff

2. Be generous with the product—skimping creates a patchy finish

3. 45 minutes minimum processing time for best results

4. Rinse with cold water and minimal color-safe shampoo and conditioner

You'll end up with a rich, multidimensional purple hair dye color that photographs like a dream.

How to Cover Dark Red Hair Color with Purple Hair Dye

Ritual covered with Sorceress

Are you ready to ditch the deep burgundy of Ritual? Transform your red hair color with Sorceress for a bewitching midnight purple hair color.

Since Ritual already belongs to the darker color palette, the transformation is nuanced yet remarkably striking.

For this darker-to-darker transformation:

• Apply Sorceress thoroughly to clean, completely dry hair

• Allow the dye to process for at least 40 minutes, use a shower cap to contain heat and boost color penetration

• Cold water rinse with color-safe products only

The result is a deep, multidimensional purple with that expensive-looking depth that turns heads.

FAQ: What You Actually Need to Know

Can you put purple hair color on dyed red hair?

Yes, and it's one of the few color transitions that genuinely work without bleach. Adjacent color wheel positioning means you'll get a true purple hair color rather than something muddy.

What colors cover red hair dye?

Purple works best, followed by burgundy and some blues. Don't try green, yellow, or pastel shades directly over red—physics won't allow it without bleach.

Is it possible to change your red hair color without bleach?

Absolutely. With Arctic Fox Hair Color, you can move between adjacent color wheel positions without bleach. Red to purple is a textbook example of this.

How long does purple hair dye last?

Typically 4-8 weeks, with longevity depending on wash frequency, hair porosity, and specific shade. Purple AF’s formula outlasts most competing shades thanks to its concentrated pigment. 

For maximum staying power, wash your hair less frequently with color-safe shampoo, rinse with cold water, and mix your dye with conditioner for a weekly color-depositing hair mask.

Will red undertones show through if I cover red hair with purple hair dye?

Some dimension leftover from the red actually creates depth that a single color lacks. If you want pure purple with zero red hair color, go for a second application with longer processing time.

How do I maintain purple hair color?

Extend your purple hair color for weeks longer by washing with cold water, using homemade color-depositing conditioner with your leftover dye, and limiting heat styling.

Embrace dry shampoo between washes to reduce color fade. UV-protective products and avoiding chlorinated water will further preserve your vibrant purple investment.

Conquering the Red-to-Purple Hair Color Shift

Arctic Fox's vegan, conditioning, semi-permanent hair dye makes this transition not just possible but actually good for your hair. Unlike harsh color removers or bleach, you're adding moisture while changing your look.

Ready to make waves with your hair game? Let's talk about one of the hottest trends that'll have heads turning wherever you go: dark hair with electric blue highlights! It's edgy yet wearable, bold but not overwhelming, and trust us—it's the perfect way to express yourself without committing to a full head of vibrant color. 

Whether you're a color newbie or a seasoned hair chameleon, this look screams "main character energy" while still being totally manageable for everyday life. 

Grab your favorite snack, because your besties at Arctic Fox are about to spill all the tea on creating this show-stopping style!

What You'll Need:

• Arctic Fox Transylvania (deep black semi-permanent hair dye)

• Arctic Fox Jinx (electric blue semi-permanent hair dye)

• Arctic Fox Bleach Please Kit

• Alligator clips

• Shower Cap

• Gloves

• Bowls and Brushes

• Color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner

Let's Get Started!

Step 1: Section Like a Pro

Start with clean, dry hair, this gives you the perfect canvas for color magic! Grab those alligator clips and section out a chunky face-framing piece that'll give you that "wow" factor the minute you walk into a room. 

Then, section out another large chunk toward the back of your head for that peek-a-boo effect that's subtle yet stunning. These sections will be your blue statement pieces!

Step 2: Lighten Up

If your hair isn't already light enough, it's bleaching time! Those sections reserved for blue need to be lightened to a level 9/10 platinum blonde for the most vibrant results. 

Our Bleach Please collection makes this process super easy, even for beginners. Need more deets on bleaching? Check out our comprehensive bleaching guide blog for all the do's and don'ts!

Step 3: Color Time!

Once your bleached sections are thoroughly dried, it's time for the fun part! Apply Jinx electric blue hair dye to those lightened sections, making sure to saturate every strand completely. 

For the rest of your hair, apply Transylvania for that rich, deep contrast that makes the blue truly pop. The key here is precision—take your time to avoid color bleeding between sections.

Step 4: Patience Pays Off

Let your hair soak up all that color goodness for at least 30 minutes to an hour. But here's the best part: our semi-permanent hair dyes are actually deep conditioning treatments without harsh chemicals, so the longer you leave them on, the better!

Pro tip: throw on a shower cap, binge a few episodes of your favorite show, or tackle some chores around the house while your hair drinks up that vibrant color. Your future self will thank you for that extra time!

Step 5: Rinse Smart

Ready to reveal your masterpiece? Rinse out your color with cold water (hot water is color's worst enemy!) and your favorite color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. 

For best results, rinse the blue sections first, then apply conditioner to those areas as a protective barrier before rinsing out the dark sections. This prevents any unwanted color bleeding and keeps your blue sections vibrant.

Step 6: Time to Shine!

You did it! Now go show off your gorgeous new dark hair with blue highlights. 

Get ready for all the "OMG, who did your hair?!" comments—and the smug satisfaction of saying "I did it myself!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Stop Hair Dye From Bleeding Into Other Colors?

Cold water is your BFF when it comes to preventing color bleeding! 

Always rinse each color section separately, and apply conditioner to the sections you've already washed before moving onto the next. This creates a barrier that helps keep colors in their designated lanes.

What Is A Color Block in Hair?

Color blocking is a technique where you create distinct sections of different colors that stand out against each other. 

Unlike subtle highlights or balayage, color blocking is meant to create a bold contrast between sections.

What Does Blue Hair Color Fade To?

One of the coolest things about Arctic Fox shades is that they fade within the color spectrum. 

This means Jinx will gradually fade to lighter shades of blue rather than those awkward green or gray tones you might get with other brands. It's like getting multiple looks as your color evolves!

What Colors Look Good With Blue Hair?

Blue and black are a match made in hair heaven! The deep, rich tones of Transylvania create the perfect backdrop for Jinx's electric blue to really stand out. 

This high-contrast pairing creates depth and dimension that's both dramatic and sophisticated. Other great pairings include purple tones or even a touch of teal for a multi-dimensional mermaid effect.
