Can I Dye My Wig? How to Properly Color Synthetic and Human Hair Wigs

Coloring Your Wigs

Wigs are versatile pieces oftentimes used to change up your style in an effortless and new way. Wigs can bring variety and change to your look. You may be looking to switch up your current wigs, and wondering if you can add even more variety by dying them to fit your next style. The answer is, yes! You can dye your wigs to your personal preferences, but the outcome will vary based on the style and quality of the wig you are looking to dye.

Coloring a Human Hair Wig

If you've been debating changing the color of your human hair wig, this is by far the best type of wig to dye as the process is usually easy and stress-free. Human hair wigs are made solely from real human hair and when dyed, they give a natural look and feel. When dying a human hair wig, the process will be done in an identical way to how you would dye your own. When choosing the type of dye, ammonia-free dyes tend to be less damaging to the hair keeping your wig as healthy as possible.

The Versatility of Human Hair

Human hair wigs are the most versatile option. You can essentially do anything to the wig that you would to your natural hair. Human hair wigs are heat and color-friendly, allowing for a variety of looks to be created. These are definitely good options for those looking to change up the style or color more often.

Remy vs. Non-Remy Human Hair

Remy and non-Remy hair are two different types of human hair. The difference is that Remy's hair is collected from one source with intact cuticles, and non-Remy's hair is collected from multiple donors. When choosing to dye a wig, be aware of whether it is Remy or non-Remy hair. Remy hair tends to dye effortlessly and can be safely colored and styled in the same way you would your natural hair. Non-Remy hair, on the other hand, doesn’t dye well. Experts at Feminine Attractions Salon advise against dying non-Remy hair due to stripping the strands and making it weak and brittle.

Synthetic: Proceed with Caution

Synthetic wigs can be a bit more challenging to dye. It is possible to dye this style of wig, but understand that the dye can damage the life and health of the wig. If you don’t mind giving your synthetic wig a shorter lifespan, dying your wig can work for you.

Synthetic Wig Limitations and Challenges

Though there are challenges that may occur, this does not mean dying a synthetic wig is impossible. Reach out to our stylists at Feminine Attractions Salon for guidance and techniques on the best route to take when dying your synthetic wig!

Choosing the Right Products for Vibrant Results

Be sure to opt for a synthetic hair dye when choosing to dye your synthetic wig. Synthetic hair dyes are colors with synthetic compounds to create natural colors on synthetic hair. When following the proper techniques and utilizing a synthetic hair dye, you will minimize the damage to the wig fibers. Synthetic wigs are more prone to damage especially when coloring, which is why choosing the right dyes can make a big difference in the color outcome.

Choosing the Right Shade

When coloring a wig, speaking with a professional at Feminine Attractions Salon can make your experience and outcome much more effortless and successful. It can be tricky to get the right shade of color when dyeing your wig, which is why we are here to help. If you choose to go a lighter route, bleaching is how you would obtain this result. Bleaching your wig comes with risks for both human and synthetic hair, but when done with experience and practiced techniques, lightening your wig can be done.

It is a much easier process to darken your wig and it tends to come with fewer risks. There are still techniques that are beneficial when dyeing your wig a darker shade, but the negative outcomes are lower. We still advise you to speak with a specialist when dying your hair darker to make the process more seamless.
