QuestionWhy doesn't the dye stain the cap/flesh colored part of the wig?
Community AnswerSince the dye is only meant for real hair, it will likely not dye the cap part of the wig. In most wigs, that part is somewhat resistant to staining. That said, all wigs are different so you should test a very small part to see if yours stains or not. -

QuestionCan I dye a copper human hair wig to light ash brown?
Snakey006550Top AnswererYes, you can dye a copper human hair wig to light ash brown, but it may require a two-step process. First, if the copper wig is darker than your desired shade, you may need to bleach it slightly to lift the color. Then, choose a light ash brown dye with cool undertones to counteract the copper's warmth. After dyeing, you might need a purple or blue toner to remove any remaining warm tones. -
QuestionCan I dye natural hair with shampoo-in hair color, like L'Oréal's?
Snakey006550Top AnswererYes. These are usually semi-permanent or temporary dyes that coat the hair shaft without permanently altering the color. They are suitable for enhancing natural color, covering grays, or trying new shades without damage, but they won't lighten dark hair or create dramatic color changes. -
QuestionCan I use a temporary rinse on a human hair wig?
Snakey006550Top AnswererYes. Temporary rinses are non-damaging, because they coat the hair without penetrating the shaft, making them a safe option for altering the color. To apply, wash the wig to remove buildup, then follow the rinse product's instructions. Generally, you'll apply the rinse evenly to the damp wig, let it sit for the recommended time, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid rinses that require high heat, as they might damage the wig's structure. Temporary rinses wash out after a few washes, allowing you to experiment without commitment. -

QuestionCan I remove the color in order to change the color?
Riley WedlerCommunity AnswerIf the hair is dyed a natural color already, then you may want to use a color stripper such as Color Oops and Color Fix, the latter has a bleaching agent to it, so you may get better results. But once you have stripped and dyed your human hair wig, that's the farthest you want to go. Any more chemical processing will make it look unnatural and very stiff, and then it will look like a wig. Use temporary spray dyes if you are really wanting to change up the color. -
