Tintex fabric dye

Drying wefts on a garments range There are plenty how to color a wig here’s a dysfunction of a number of techniques. Stick to the movement chart to a preferred strategy the browse the matching write-up. But very first...
General Supplies:
Wig head or clothes line for wefts (see photo above), hair clips (for sectioning off wefts), gloves (latex or rubber), mask with a filter if you work with liquor, covered working area (plastic sheeting)

General Notes:

Results of dyeing differs according to the variety of fibres. I mainly make use of Kanekalon fibres.
You simply can't dye a wig a lighter color.
I highly advise with starting with a white-wig or wefts. If white is not readily available then light colours like gold.
If you are dying a coloured wig, stay with colours within that range (lilac ->purple->dark purple).
Just heat-resistant fibres can be utilized with textile dyes and beverage dyeing.
For sample outcomes start to see the bottom of post, detailing my experiences.

INK *My preferred method*
Materials: Acrylic ink (FW Ink suggested), 70% alcohol, and a squirt container
Technique(s): Mix ink and liquor in spray container and spray onto wig.

may use for gradient effects.
Note: The pearlescent colors of FW ink have actually a fine glitter that could scrub down and can create your wig shiny.

Pros: simple to coat large amounts of fibre, small ink required, advantageous to getting consistent colour, an easy task to make brand-new colour by blending inks, beneficial to using gradient results, and simple to detangle fibres after dyeing
Disadvantages: Strong odor, never as accurate as hand drawn Sharpie, messy, and hard to find item.
