Can you color synthetic hair is an important question for a lot of people as many synthetic wigs are quite expensive and precious, and damaging them is never pleasant. So, can you do it?<\/p>\n

Technically, yes, you can \u2013 you can dye any synthetic wig in any color you want. Should you do it, however, is a different question. If your synthetic wig isn\u2019t particularly expensive if it\u2019s not your only one, and if you don\u2019t care too much what happens to it \u2013 sure, do whatever you want with it. If your wig is expensive and of a high quality, however, you might want to think twice about it.<\/p>\n

Why we\u2019d advise against it?<\/h3>\n

Our natural hair grows constantly and even when we damage it, color it in a horrible color, or outright cut it all off, after a while, it will grow back completely. Wigs, on the other hand, whether synthetic or natural, obviously don\u2019t grow. So, why risk ruining something that will be irreparable? Even if you use the mildest and easiest to wash away temporary dye, you\u2019re still risking damage that might be irreversible.<\/p>\n

A much better alternative is to simply buy several different wigs \u2013 this way you can change your appearances however you want without ruining anything. And if you just want something cheeky for a party, there are many cheap and affordable synthetic wigs that can be almost as affordable as the dye you were going to use on your main high-quality wig and the time you were going to put in the whole process.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, while you can definitely dye a synthetic wig and we\u2019ve happily shared our guide and tips on how to do it here<\/a> if we\u2019re talking about high-quality wigs, our opinion is that you shouldn\u2019t risk it.<\/p>\n

Can you bleach synthetic hair?<\/h3>\n

No, you can\u2019t. There is no \u201cshould\u201d or \u201cshouldn\u2019t\u201d here, synthetic hair simply can\u2019t be bleached.<\/p>\n

Synthetic wigs are mostly made out of a nylon-like substance that has its own color pigments and can\u2019t be bleached. All you can do is apply strong dyes on top of it to cover its surface as well as possible.<\/p>\n

Of course, for all the same reasons as above, we wouldn\u2019t have recommended it even if synthetic hair could have been bleached but that\u2019s not even an option anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
