Synthetic Wig

If you do not like the color of your synthetic wig, you can lighten it. Putting regular hair dyeon the wig is very risky because it will dry, then break off. It's best to go to a professional and have this done.  However, if a professional is not in your budget, there are a couple of methods that you can do at home.

The two main methods to lighten your wig include the use of Sharpie markers and FW spray paint.

Things you need:

  • Three Sharpie markers of the same color
  • Spray bottle or container
  • Measuring cup
  • Bottle of 70 percent rubbing alcohol
  • Knife
  • FW spray in the color that you want

For the first part, you will be using the Sharpie marker method.

  • Bend the three markers until they break in half. Slit the ink sticks with the knife. Empty the ink from each ink stink into the spray bottle.
  • Pour one cup of alcohol into the spray bottle. Shake the bottle until you get the color that you want. If you want to make it darker, add another Sharpie. If you want to make it lighter, add more alcohol.
  • Spray your wig, evenly. Let it dry for eight hours.
  • Rinse the wig in cold water to get all the excess ink out. Let it dry over night.  Then enjoy.
