A Colorful Transformation: How to Dye Your Human Hair Wig Like a Pro

If you're looking to switch up your look with a human hair wig, one way to do so is by dyeing it. However, dyeing a wig can be a daunting task if you're not familiar with the process. Don't worry, though; with these tips, you can dye your human hair wig like a pro. Try it at home today!

 Step 1: Choose Your Dye

The first step to dyeing your human hair wig is choosing the right dye. Be sure to select a dye specifically made for human hair, as other types of dye may damage or even ruin your wig.

Additionally, choose a color that complements your skin tone and personal style. Gold and caramel hair tones work well with warm skin tones, blonde and yellow hair tones work with cool skin tones, and neutral skin tones work well with pretty much any hair color. If you're not sure what color to choose, consider consulting with a stylist. 

 Step 2: Test a Strand

Before dyeing your entire wig, it's important to test a small strand to ensure the color turns out as desired. To do this, mix a small amount of dye according to the instructions and apply it to a small, inconspicuous section of the wig. Leave the dye on for the recommended time, then rinse it out. If you're satisfied with the color, you can proceed with dyeing the entire wig.

 Step 3: Wash and Dry the Wig

Before dyeing your wig, make sure it's clean and dry. If the wig has any product buildup, it may not take the dye evenly. Wash the wig with a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, then allow it to air dry completely.

 Step 4: Section the Wig

To ensure you don't miss any spots while dyeing your wig, section it into four parts. Use clips to separate the wig into two sections on the top and two on the bottom. If your wig is longer or more voluminous, divide it into as many sections as you need to feel comfortable handling the hair.

 Step 5: Apply the Dye

Now it's time to apply the dye. Follow the instructions on the dye package, and apply the dye evenly to each section of the wig. Start at the top of the wig and work your way down, making sure each section is completely covered.

 Step 6: Let the Dye Set

Once the dye is applied, let it set for the recommended amount of time. Usually it needs 30-40 minutes to let the color set. However, this will vary depending on the dye you're using, so be sure to read the instructions carefully. 

 Step 7: Rinse and Condition

After the dye has set, rinse the wig thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear. Then, apply a deep conditioner and let it sit for the recommended amount of time. This will help keep your wig soft and shiny.

 Step 8: Air Dry

Finally, allow the wig to air dry completely. Don't use a blow dryer or other heat styling tools, as this can damage the wig. Once the wig is dry, you can style it as desired.

Dyeing your human hair wig is a great way to switch up your look, but it's important to do it correctly. Follow these steps, and you'll have a beautifully dyed wig that looks like it was done by a pro.
