Since people seem to like my headset tutorial, figured I'd try another tutorial. Hopefully you guys will like this one too!

Would...would this work for dying part of a wig? Say the back half?

I need a wig for a Kai Hiwatari cosplay but the lady at the local costume shop said you can't dye wigs, that it only gets the surface.

Is that true, it doesn't look like it but I'd like to know before I follow her advice & get two wigs to butcher & sow back together into some kind of franken-wig.

Sewing the two wigs together would probably be better since you would have more control over which parts were which color.

I believe the alcohol in the dye mixture helps it seep (at least somewhat) into the plastics that wigs tend to be made out of, though some wig fibers won't accept dyes at all.

I think I'll experiment with this one cheap wig I have and see how well making two-toned hair works, then I shall decide if I'll get one wig & dye the back or two wigs & turn them into a franken-wig.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks (I have noticed a distinct lack of front/back franken-wig tutorials though, plenty of left/right ones though)

Excellent! Thank you! That is the kind of wig I'll need to be dyeing and I was a little hesitant because I heard they may not take dye as well. But I am much more confident. Thank you. :D
