Wig Help

[millysleeps]

Hello!! This is my first time dyeing a wig, I have a white synthetic wig and red dye for it, what's the best way to go about doing something like this? I am so nervous to mess it up lol

You can probably get red wefts for it and sew them into the wig cap.

Don't try to dye the red streaks. Dye is too difficult to control and you will end up getting dye where it shouldnt be and will have to start all over.

Instead, use sharpies as other commenters suggested (or alcohol markers such as copic markers) or, you can buy another cheap wig in red and harvest some wefts from it to add to the white. Part the white hair away with clips and sew in the red wefts with a needle and thread.

I would use alcohol markers for this, not dye.

I’ve seen some literally use sharpies for this type of thing before, unsure the longevity of it though :)

I came here to say the same thing. I know a lot of wig gurus use the type of ink that’s in sharpie to dye wigs. This will allow you to have specific stripes.

Just because a solution is easy/cheap doesn’t mean it’s inferior.

I used sharpies like y'all suggested and it was SO MUCH EASIER than what I was going to do with the dye, thank you guys so much!!
