How to Get Green Goddess Hair with Arctic Fox’s Iris Green

Julia Thomas | July 9, 2024

Ever wished you could bottle the essence of springtime and wear it on your head? Enter, Iris Green - a forever favorite that captures goddess energy in a bottle. This vibrant, grassy green has been a chart-topping shade for what feels like forever, and for good reason.

So, what exactly is Iris Green?

It's a medium-light green that leans cool, thanks to its subtle bluish undertone (think fresh leaves, not swamp monster). Unlike some super dark greens, Iris Green loves a light-colored canvas to truly shine - levels 8 and lighter give the best results. If your hair's a bit darker blonde, don't fret! Adding a touch of our highly pigmented Phantom Green (think emerald!) to Iris Green can give you that green goddess look you crave. Just remember, pre-lighting is usually your BFF for achieving the most vibrant and accurate Iris Green.

Ready to take your green game to the next level? We got you!

Level Up: Iris Green on Different Hair Levels

This shade is a medium grassy green shade which turns out best on hair that is pre-lightened to a level 8 or lighter. If your hair's a bit darker than level 8, Iris Green might give you a subtle green tint, but for a bolder look, consider Phantom Green.

Feeling adventurous? Adding a few drops of Transylvania to Iris Green creates a magical emerald dream. Just sayin'. ✨

Get Faded: How Iris Green Says Sayonara

Iris Green fades beautifully, too! It tends to go down a softer, minty route, so you won't be left with harsh lines or weird colors. Just keep in mind that for the longest-lasting, most vibrant green, using a color-safe shampoo and conditioner is key!

Iris Green Mixology: It's a Party!

Iris Green is all about playing nice with other colors. Feeling a more intense green vibe? Mix Iris Green and Phantom Green in equal parts for a show-stopping medium green. Want a teal masterpiece? Iris Green and Aquamarine are your new best friends!
