Can you dye?

I have a synthetic hair clip-on and was wondering if I could dye it a different color.The piece is like a strawberry blonde and I would like it to be a light or medium golden brown.THANKS.



Can you dye?

I'm guessing you could, but it might not work out the same way it would with hair... it's worth a shot..you might have to keep the dye on longer,but if the piece was expensive.. I don't think you should do that..because it could screw it up



But, never know..



Can you dye?

Synthetic hair is made from fine plastic filaments, which are smooth on the surface and, therefore, unable to accept permanent coloring products designed for use on human hair.



A color rinse, such as Roux Fancifull, may be used to change the tone slightly on light colored synthetic wigs. Best results are obtained by pouring the color rinse into a small, plastic spray bottle with a fine mist and mist the wig evenly all over, being careful not to over saturate as the rinse will drip and be wasted. Do not rinse. Let wig dry overnight. A second or third misting may be used if color has not reached the desired tone. Repeat instructions.



For better results, a liquid fabric dye, such as Rit or Tintex, may be used to darken the color on synthetic wigs. (There is no way to lighten synthetic fiber.) Dissolve 4 oz. dye in 1 gallon (128 oz.) warm water, and immerse wig. Let process until desired color is reached. Then follow instructions on care sheet for washing and conditioning.
