Short answer: No. We don't recomment it. We'll explain why below.
When it comes to dying synthetic wigs, there are both pros and cons that you should be aware of before you make a decision. On the one hand, yes, you can technically dye your synthetic wig without ruining it. However, on the other hand, the process is much more difficult than with human hair wigs, and the results may not be what you expect.

On the one hand, yes, you can technically dye your synthetic wig without ruining it. However, on the other hand, the process is much more difficult than with human hair wigs, and the results may not be what you expect.
However, there are some big downsides to dying synthetic wigs that you should be aware of. First of all, the process is much more difficult than with human hair wigs. You'll need to be very careful not to damage the wig while you're dying it. Additionally, the results may not be what you expect. The color may not take evenly or look natural. The texture of your wig may become brittle and scratchy.
If you're set on dying your synthetic wig, here's how:
1. Boil a pot of water. You'll need enough water to cover the wig you're dying. For every 1 cup of water, add 3 teaspoons of synthetic fabric dye. Regular fabric or hair dyes will not work.
2. Reduce the water to a simmer and add your wig. The longer you leave the wig in the pot, the darker it will be.
3. Remove your wig from the pot and rinse it in cold water until the water runs clear.
4. Place the wig on a wig stand and allow it to air dry.
Dyeing synthetic wigs is a tricky process, and it doesn't always go as planned. We do not recommend dying synthetic wigs, even though the color results can be very rewarding. Warning: The texture will never be the same. That is the major trade-off for the process. If you can live with that risk, this might be a fun way to spend an afternoon. Before you risk your wig, we recommend browsing the wigs at Hair Kitty Kitty. Our colors are dope AF. Try that before you risk your ruining expensive wigs.

Pretty Pastels
Mermaid Kisses is full of pretty pastel colors of pink, yellow & green and Leighton’s style really shows them off! For me, this one looks best when wearing pastel colors - nothing too neutral or too bold.
I like the light bangs/fringe and long past your shoulders length. The density is perfect for this length, as well. There is some permatease on top, but nothing that creates too much pouf. This one fits my smaller head pretty well. I only need to cinch the adjusters at the nape. Leighton in Mermaid Kisses is a delight to wear!

Sorrel is gorgeous!
I'm often uncomfortable in wigs and a topper is a great alternative. The clips in Heather's toppers are many and small, eliminating the pulling you get in most toppers.
This is a gorgeous style, perfect for someone like me who has hair, but not much. I can incorporate what I've got and feel pretty AND comfortable. I'm working on ideas for styling her, but she looks pretty amazing as is.

Great summer wig
Ambrose is a very wearable style with fine, soft hair fibers. The color Rose Blush is absolutely beautiful, and the rooting adds dimension and realism.
I've attached pictures in indoor and outdoor light with no makeup to show how natural the fibers are and the color.

My favorite color
I love the style and the color of this wig. I wish it was not heat friendly. I just don't get any longevity with HF fibers. I could almost give it a perfect 5 stars, however, the length on each side differs by at least 2 inches. I know it is shorter in the back than the front purposely, but I don't believe it is suposed to be asymmetrical on the sides. I do really enjoy though that it was made to be shorter in the back because heat friendly fibers tend to get so ratty in back due to friction on neck and back.
