Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Less bleeding
It's bleeding only when I wash my hair with shampoo, and stains the towel. It doesn't stain my skin or pillow right after the dyeing.
Pro Long lasting
In comparison with other brands with red or pastel colors, Arctic Fox's poison and periwinkle colors lasted longer.
Pro Colors fade nicely
While some colors fade faster than others, they all fade quite nicely and don’t leave an ugly in between colors shade. They just get lighter. It also takes a while for it to fade out completely but does eventually completely wash out (usually after about 2 1/2 months) (update by some one else) I have NEVER been able to wash it out completely. Even after trying to on purpose for a month straight so i could do another color. It just fades to a pastel and kind of stays there. This is after 6+ months.
Pro Vibrant color for months!
It literally stays for months. Yes, a conditioner mixed with dye will touch it up in the shower, but it is not needed. As long as you shampoo quickly in cold water and put in conditioner right away it will stop bleeding while you finish washing up.
Pro Against animal cruelty
They donate 15% of their profits to animal cruelty prevention.
Pro Vegan/cruelty free

All 6 different colors smell amazing with a very fruity scent. It's noticeable even without unboxing the dyes.

Cons
Con Turns a ugly color
Can turn orange a day later.
Con Racist.
The owner of the company has been caught on video using the n word slur
Con Color doesn't stick
You put it in, leave for 45 minutes, rinse and the color doesn't hold. So you have to apply again. This doesn't happen always though. It works better if left on for as long as possible. It will not hatm your hair to do this.
Con The bottle is opaque
The bottle is not clear so you can’t see the actually color of the dye through it... although I know it saves on shelf life.
Con It fades quickly
After two hair washes the color isn't as vibrant. It starts to fade to brownish purple, although it still looks okay. For the best results, you should reapply it after 5 washes....if you lighten your hair as reccomended it wont turn brown.
Con Diluting is hard
Con Smell is sickly sweet
The smell was horribly sickly and synthetic .... really it depends on the person.
Con Cheap
You get what you pay for. It’s low quality hair dye that damages your hair and the color doesn’t last. This is what people who don’t know any better use or people who are too stupid to look online for quality dyes.
Con Stains everything, color washes out for weeks afterwards
Unless you use proper conditioner sealers.
Con Colors runs when it gets wet
If you have this in your hair when it rains it will run unbelively. Any sort of wetness makes it run even heavy sweat.
Con Dye itself does almost nothing to re-hydrate your hair
When using splat, make sure to follow up with a protein hair mask or using a sulphate-free shampoo.
Con Bleach packet is extremely damaging
Con Fades very quickly
After 3-4 washes the color will leave a little tinge of the old color along with the faded color
Con Both bleach and dye are extremely damaging and drying to the hair
Con Lightening kit that comes with it is not of good quality
