You've spent good money on a wig, but the color doesn't look right. Instead of buying a new one, why not try dying it? Dying your wig is easy and can be done in several ways to create various looks. Maybe you want to go from blonde to brunette or brunette to redhead. Perhaps you're looking for something more subtle like highlights or lowlights. Whether you're working with synthetic or human hair, we'll show you how to dye your wig, so it looks perfect every time.
Step 1: Choosing a color
Now that you know what dark auburn wigs are, it's time to pick a color. When choosing a color for your wig, think about which colors look best on you and what skin tone and clothing styles complement them.
The most important thing when choosing the right red-orange shade is ensuring it compliments your natural hair color and skin tone. If you have dark brown hair with dark eyes and pale skin, you probably shouldn't wear an orange wig because it will make your face appear paler.
If you have blonde or light brown hair with green or blue eyes, then it would look good if the highlight were more pink than orange as this will complement their eye color better than yellow or red-brown shades would do so, too, so try not to go overboard with how much ashness there is within those hues just yet.
Step 2: Sectioning
To section your wig, you should use a pair of sharp scissors. You can also use clippers to do this, but be aware that they will only work if you have a low-quality wig. If you are working with a high-quality wig (and, let's face it—you are), then the best way to take sections is by cutting them as close to the scalp as possible.
Be sure to make each section about one inch wide and no more than three inches long; any longer, it will look sloppy when dyed. Don't forget to trim all the stray hairs around your head so they don't come into contact with dye; these can cause problems later on!
Step 3: Dyeing with bleach
Now that you've applied the dye to your wig, it's time to put your gloves on and use bleach. You'll need to apply a liberal amount of the chemical all over the wig in sections. Once you have applied bleach liberally to all areas of the wig, place it back into the tub and let it sit for 20 minutes while you work on coloring your other locks with a darker shade. Be sure not to leave this process alone, as this can cause severe damage if left unattended.
Step 5: Dyeing with the second color
Add your second color to the dye mixture. If you're using a permanent hair dye, apply it to how you applied the first color—apply directly from the bottle or in a bowl and use your brush or applicator pad to disperse it over your wig by combing through its strands. If using a semi-permanent hair dye, mix equal parts of both dyes together before applying them to your wig.
Let sit for 10-15 minutes. This will give the color time to set and ensure even coverage throughout the fiber.
Rinse with cool water after letting sit for 15 minutes (or as directed on your specific product). It's essential not to rinse too early because it can cause bleeding; wait until after this period has passed before rinsing out any excess product from your wig!
Step 6: Rinsing, deep conditioning, and drying
Rinse and condition the wig.
To rinse the wig, use lukewarm water that is just a little above room temperature. You don't need to use shampoo or soap. Just use the water, swish it around in your hands, then pour it over your wig! This will help get rid of any excess dye from the outside of your costume it's especially important if you're going for an ombre effect like we did here and will make sure there aren't any harsh chemicals left behind in your hair piece after dying it red with henna or kool-aid powder (we'll be covering how to do that later).
When you're done rinsing out all that dye from soaking into your costume's fibers, put on some deep conditioning treatments! Deep conditioners help replenish moisture lost during coloring processes by penetrating deep into dry hair follicles and restoring shine back into parched strands so they can retain more moisture throughout each day without getting weighed down too much by heavy products like styling sprays or gels."
Follow these steps to dye your wig.
Follow these steps to dye your wig.
Using a pair of scissors or a comb, cut the hair in the desired length and style you want your wig with skunk stripe highlight to be.
Mix together equal amounts of water and lye in a plastic container that is large enough to contain the water mixture plus all of the hair extensions (this will prevent any splashes when adding them later).
Add the contents of one package of red permanent hair color gel into this mixture (there are usually several packages available depending on how long you want your wig's highlights to be). The longer your highlights are, the more packages will be needed, so if you want long ones, go ahead and use two or three packages instead!
Add two drops per strand onto each extension piece until they're completely saturated with color gel; leave these pieces submerged overnight until they've fully dried out before wearing them out in public!
