Can you dye a synthetic wig?

[madamdot]

I am trying to experiment with wigs. I got a couple recently but I HATE the colors. Who knew I would be this picky????

Do you think I should try to dye them?

I have never worn a wig or any extension of any kind so I am definitely in the deep end here. But I am really excited about this.

Do you have the same colors as shown in the pics - i.e. 1b? What color do you want them to be? If they were light you might be able to darken them with rit fabric dye. You can't lift black fiber with rit. Hair color for human hair doesn't work on synthetic fiber.

Short, synth wigs are cheap - if you don't like those colors then you can always get the colors you want instead. Alternatively get a pack of synth yaki in a color you want and add a few pieces to the wig to make highlights.

Yes they are too light (with the bob I got the color in the picture but I think its too weird looking red) so I want to get them dark.

Yea I might just get some new ones.

thanks!
