How to Dye a Human Hair Wig: Step-by-Step

Dyeing your human hair wig is easier than you think. With the right tools and a bit of patience, you can achieve professional-looking results at home.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before you dive into the dyeing process, make sure you have everything you need. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Hair Dye: Choose a dye that is specifically formulated for human hair. For long-lasting colour, go for a permanent dye. For a temporary change, semi-permanent dye will do the job.
  • Developer: You’ll need a developer if you’re using a permanent dye. Choose a volume that suits the colour you’re aiming for.
  • Mixing Bowl & Applicator Brush: These tools help ensure the dye is applied evenly.
  • Gloves: Protect your hands from staining.
  • Plastic Wrap: This helps to trap heat and ensures thecolourr processes evenly.
  • Wide-Tooth Comb: To detangle your wig before and after dyeing.

Tip: When dyeing your wig, be sure to choose a dye that complements your desired colour. Whether you want soft highlights or a bold statement, the right dye can make all the difference!

Step 2: Wash and Dry Your Wig

Before applying any dye, it’s important to properly wash your wig. This ensures the dye adheres well and results in even coverage.

  1. Gently detangle your wig using a wide-tooth comb.
  2. Wash your wig with a sulfate-free shampoo to remove oils, dirt, and product buildup.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and pat dry with a towel.
  4. Let the wig air dry completely.

Tip: Always wash your wig thoroughly before dyeing it. A clean surface helps the colour last longer and prevents any uneven patches.

Step 3: Do a Strand Test

Before dyeing the entire wig, it’s essential to do a strand test. Take a small, hidden section of hair (like from the nape of the neck), apply the dye, and let it process for the recommended time. This step ensures that the colour develops the way you want it to.

Step 4: Apply the Dye

Now that the strand test is complete and you’re satisfied with the result, it’s time to apply the dye to the whole wig. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Section the Wig into smaller parts for an even application.
  2. Use the applicator brush to apply the dye from root to tip.
  3. For a natural look, apply the dye to select areas for highlights or an ombre effect.

Tip: Take your time with the application! The more careful you are, the more professional the results will look. Try using a wide-tooth comb to distribute the dye evenly and avoid missed spots.

Step 5: Let the Dye Set

Once the dye has been applied, wrap your wig in plastic wrap to help trap the heat. This will allow the colour to be processed more evenly. Follow the dye’s recommended processing time, which is typically between 20 to 40 minutes.

Tip: Check the wig every 10-15 minutes to ensure the colour is developing as you desire. If it’s your first time dyeing, you’ll want to avoid leaving the dye on for too long.

Step 6: Rinse and Condition

After the recommended processing time, rinse the dye out with cool water until the water runs clear. Apply a color-safe conditioner to keep your wig hydrated and soft.

Tip: After dyeing, always deep-condition your wig. This will restore moisture and leave your wig feeling soft, shiny, and healthy—just like when you first received it from us!

Can You Dye Synthetic Wigs?

A common question we get is, can you dye synthetic wigs? Unfortunately, synthetic wigs cannot be dyed with regular hair dye, as their fibres don’t absorb colour the way human hair does. While there are special dyes for synthetic wigs, your best bet for vibrant, lasting colour is always going to be a human hair wig like those offered by Crown Lux.

Post-Dye Care for Your Crown Lux Human Hair Wig

Now that your wig is dyed and looking fabulous, it’s important to take care of it to maintain both the colourer and the wig’s health. Here are some tips from Crown Lux:

1. Preserve the Color

To keep the colour looking fresh:

  • Wash your wig with a sulfate-free shampoo to prevent colour fading.
  • Avoid washing your wig too often—1-2 times a week is sufficient.
  • Use a leave-in conditioner to keep the wig hydrated in between washes.

2. Limit Heat Styling

Crown Lux wigs are designed to handle the heat, but excessive styling can cause the colour to fade faster. Always use a heat protectant before using styling tools, and keep heat to a moderate level to preserve both the wig’s colour and its overall health.

3. Store Your Wig Properly

When not in use, store your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain its shape and prevent tangling. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent colour fading.
