ARCTIC FOX Semi-Permanent Hair Dye POISON (4 fl oz) — Vegan Cruelty-Free Warm Red

ARCTIC FOX Poison is a vegan, cruelty-free semi-permanent hair dye that delivers a bold, true red with a warm orange undertone and gentle conditioning effects.

Poison is formulated for people who want an intense red that reads warm and vivid on pre-lightened hair without relying on peroxide, ammonia, or animal-derived ingredients. This 4 fl oz tube gives stylists and home colorists a flexible, long-lasting red that fades predictably to lighter red tones rather than shifting toward pink. The fragrance is sweet, wearable, and the formula is designed to condition during coloring so hair feels softer after treatment.

How vivid is the color and what can I expect on pre-lightened hair?

On hair that’s been lifted to a pale blonde, Poison shows as a saturated, fiery red with a subtle orange cast. The result is most intense immediately after application and will gently fade to a lighter red shade over time rather than shifting to pink.

• Best on level 9–10 pre-lightened hair for truest vibrancy.
• Initial shade: bright warm red with orange undertones.
• Fade pathway: rich red → lighter red tones, not pink.
• Touch-ups required to maintain peak intensity.

How does Poison treat and protect hair during coloring?

Poison uses conditioning ingredients in a semi-permanent base so hair receives moisture and shine while absorbing pigment. Because it contains no peroxide or ammonia, it deposits color without additional chemical lift, which helps preserve hair integrity.

• Conditions hair while dyeing to reduce dryness and breakage risk.
• No peroxide or ammonia—color deposition only.
• Gentler option for frequent color changes and creative looks.
• Leaves hair soft with a sweet, low-odor scent.

Can I mix Poison with other shades, and how will it behave?

Yes—Poison blends well for custom tones. Add a few drops to Arctic Mist or other lighter bases to create peach or warm coral tones, or blend with deeper reds for unique depth. Mixing alters intensity and fading behavior depending on ratios and base shades.

• Mix with lighter bases for peachy or coral results (#AFProTip).
• Combine with deeper reds for richer, multi-dimensional color.
• Test mixes on a strand to preview final tone and fade path.
• Adjust ratios to control warmth and saturation.

How long will the color last and what maintenance does it need?

As a semi-permanent dye, Poison’s longevity depends on hair porosity, pre-lightening level, and aftercare routine. Expect several weeks of rich color that slowly lightens with each shampoo; using color-safe products and cold-water rinses extends vibrancy.

• Typical wear: multiple weeks, varying by hair type and care.
• Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos to prolong shade.
• Rinse with cool water and limit heat styling to preserve pigment.
• Periodic refreshes recommended for peak intensity.

Who this is for: Poison is ideal for creative colorists and everyday users who want a bright, warm red without harsh chemicals or animal-derived ingredients. It suits pre-lightened hair and those willing to maintain semi-permanent color through gentle care and occasional touch-ups. Choose Poison if you want a bold, conditioning red that blends well for custom shades and fades predictably to lighter red tones.
