Preparing to dye
1. Choosing the Ideal Wig
Before plunging into the world of dyeing, choose the ideal wig. Human hair offers a wide range of possibilities, while synthetics require specific dyes. Understanding the composition of your wig will guide you in your choice of dyeing techniques and colors.
2. Gathering Dyeing Tools
Gather the necessary tools: developer, gloves, brush applicator, combs, mixing basins and timer. Make sure you have the right dye for your wig material.
3. Preparing the wig
Protect your work area and prepare the wig by washing it to remove residues. Gentle detangling ensures even application of the dye.

4. Wick Test
Perform a strand test to adjust processing time if necessary. This allows you to preview the final color.
5. Mixing the dye
Follow the instructions for mixing dye and developer correctly. Follow the recommended ratio for best results.
6. Application techniques
Apply dye methodically, from roots to ends, using an applicator brush. Section the wig for complete coverage.
7. Treatment time
Leave the dye on for 20-30 minutes, checking the color regularly to avoid over-treatment.
8. Rinse and Wash
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and use a mild shampoo to remove residual dye.
9. Moisturizing
After dyeing, nourish the wig with a deep conditioner to preserve moisture.
Dyeing Synthetic Hair Wigs
1. Color Limitations
Understand the limitations of synthetic wigs: they cannot be lightened, only dyed in darker shades.
2. Choice of Dye
Opt for dyes formulated specifically for synthetic fibers.
3. Water Heating
Heat water to just below boiling, according to specific instructions.
4. Adding the dye
Add the dye in the recommended ratio.
5. Dye bath
Submerge the moving synthetic wig for even color absorption.
6. Time
Keep a close eye on the bathing time, which can often be as little as a few minutes.
7. Rinsing and drying
Rinse with cold water and leave to dry naturally to preserve shape.
