Adore Royal Navy slightly diluted with Arctic Fox Purple Rain and Poseidon with some Purple Rain highlights, on a clean light blonde base. I had heard Royal Navy was a little flat, which is why I added just a bit of the AF to add a bit of sheen.

One month into this color mix. The color fade has been more rapid than when I do single colors (probably because it was harder to thoroughly coat and I couldn't really comb through like I normally do), but it's really pretty. I get a LOT of compliments on it, even more than I did a few weeks ago.

My first real attempt at a mix of colors (after more than a week). I separated out chunks and colored with Arctic Fox Aquamarine (turquoise), Poseidon (medium blue), and Purple Rain (purple). The purple shows up a lot more in real life than in this photo. The turquoise and blue are a lot more subtly blended. I like it, but boy, it was a lot of work! This was on top of a turquoise base with freshly-bleached roots. This is more than a week in, and I've shampooed twice at this point and co-washed once. With AF blues, I get some staining on towels and pillowcases at first but not on my skin. Arctic Fox, on me, fades slowly and beautifully. Usually I re-color at about 7-8 weeks, not because I don't like the resulting color, but because my dark blonde roots show up and drive me nuts. My roots bleach easily with diluted 20 developer bleach, and I generally do not re-bleach the rest of it, so it's very healthy still.

Five weeks in. The Arctic Fox fade is, as always, stellar on me. Until today you could still see steel-blue on my ends from Poseidon and Virgin Pink, but now they're visible only if you look closely. You can tell it's spring -- my curls have reappeared!

Second attempt at ... well, it's not really an ombre. :) I am using Aquamarine as a base color and then basically coloring the ends another time. I used Poseidon (blue) and Virgin Pink (which on the turquoise resulted in purple.

My first attempt at multiple colors. Arctic Fox Poseidon and Virgin Pink on ends of a faded AF Aquamarine (with a bit of Phantom Green). Very happy with it as an experiment and learning experience. I did, I think, dilute the pink too much because it isn't showing up as well as the blue. I have fine hair and not a ton of it. I love love this color combination (on virgin hair I'd probably use Purple Rain instead of the pink) but I need to figure out a way to have more color blocks instead of mottling. I think. The blocks of color I put in were a bit too small, I think.

Three+ weeks into this combination, and is typical for Arctic Fox, it's faded a bit to a lovely lighter shade that will probably hang on until I get annoyed with my roots and bleach it out.

Mostly Aquamarine, about 15% Phantom Green, a squirt of white conditioner and a squirt of Poseidon. Love how it turned out!

Arctic Fox's Phantom Green after five weeks. It's a really pretty fade -- just kind of a spring green at this stage. Other than using sulfate-free shampoo and paraben-free conditioner (which I did before I started this hair color journey), I haven't done anything special this time around. It's too cold to wash my hair in cold water! I do wash my hair only about 3 times a week (plus one co-wash). So this is five weeks, ~20 shampoos in. Changing it tomorrow only because my roots have gotten bad.

I'm sick with the flu so I look terrible but I wanted to show the two-week fade on Arctic Fox Phantom Green (over faded Poseidon). This is after seven shampoos in warm water with sulfate-free shampoo and paraben-free conditioner/styling products.

Phantom Green, not diluted, over faded Poseidon. I left on for five hours under a plastic cap and then ran my hair dryer over it before rinsing. This is in my bathroom with "daylight" bulbs. In artificial light, it looks slightly more teal. Some run-off in shower and some bleeding onto towel and pillowcase but none on my skin.

Arctic Fox's Poseidon after three weeks. Holding on very well, honestly. It faded the first week but has been roughly this color for two weeks. I fully expected it to hold onto this very pretty color for another few weeks. I am going to re-dye tonight so I washed with a clarifying shampoo so it's *slightly* faded from where it was. But my normal routine is to wash every other day in lukewarm water with a sulfate-free shampoo and then condition and style with paraben-free products. (Haha, I love how everyone else here is looking gorgeous and I'm all "I'm exhausted and wearing no makeup but hey, here's my hair color and that's the important part, right? :)

Two shampoos and one co-wash into Arctic Fox Poseidon. I wash in lukewarm water every other day using sulfate-free shampoos and paraben-free conditioners. This was on a fresh bleach job with 3 parts dye to one part conditioner.

Poseidon over a fresh bleach job, mixed about 3 parts dye with one part white conditioner. I like it, not sure I'm in love with it. It bled a little on my (white) towel but there's no transfer on my skin, my tub is still white, and my pillowcase was still white this morning. (Yeah, I know, white pillowcase, white towel. I was not thinking!) So, thankfully, it does not look like I slaughtered a Smurf in my house today! This is after one co-wash. We'll see how it looks in a few weeks. I'll update with info on the fade.

After 7 weeks. Washing every other day in lukewarm water with sulfate-free shampoos and using sulfate and paraben-free conditioners and styling products. Mainly still lilac, a little more pink on top, a little more silvery-pink where I'm gray. This product really works well for me.

Four weeks into Arctic Fox's "Purple Rain." This is what it looks like now. While it has faded, it's still really purple! I'm very impressed. And it's still very pretty! I'm definitely getting my mileage out of this hair color! Notes: 1/2 conditioner, 1/2 dye over fresh bleach job. I wash my hair in lukewarm water every other day using sulfate-free shampoos. Usually there's one additional co-wash a week (so, three shampoos, one co-wash a week). I do avoid the sun. (Not sure why it's saying "Neon Moon." Purple Rain is selected.)

Arctic Fox "Purple Rain" after one "normal" week for me, which included two co-washes and two shampoo washes. Pretty pleased with how well it's holding up!

Arctic Fox Purple Rain mixed 1:1 with conditioner. Day 1, shortly after dyeing. Looks darker and less pink in artificial light.

Two weeks into Arctic Fox's Purple Rain, and one of those weeks was hell on hair -- swimming every day plus showers every other, lots of sun! I'm impressed with how pretty it still is. It faded fairly quickly during the swimming/sun week but has since stabilized on a lovely lavender. **Update** Second time around, it took six weeks to get to this color. I get a lot of compliments on it!

Two shampoos into Arctic Fox's Purple Rain (mixed 1:2 with conditioner). Loving this color on me! Faded more quickly this time but much more slowly when I used less conditioner.

Manic Panic Purple Haze with a spot of Hot Hot Pink and diluted with conditioner. Still turned out more blue/ashy than I liked. It faded to pink with strands of lavender -- I suspect that, even though I didn't use a lot of pink in the mix, the Hot Hot Pink had more staying power than the Purple Haze.

Heavily diluted hot hot pink over golden blonde (see earlier pic). Darker than expected but I rather like it :) I only used about 1/2 a tsp of color; that little jar will last me a long time!
