Once the wig is removed, we suggest using a gentle wig shampoo and conditioner to wash the excess glue from the wig.
You can bath the lace wig in sink or bowl of warm water.
The glue is now removed and you lace front wig is ready for the application.
How to color a human lace front wig
We all know that a human hair wig is much easier to dye than a synthetic wig because you can treat it as the way you treat your own normal hair with the same hair dye you used, developers, hair conditioners or even the same dyeing tools.
The first step of coloring lace front wig for human hair is mixing the dye.
Mix the dye
The hair dye and developer are always available at every drug store and many other places. Choose an appropriate color for you. You should not try to lighten the hair, because the bleach in lighter hair color can make the hair of the wig become weaken.
Additionally, use a plastic bowl and a plastic spoon to mix the dye and the developer.
Remember not to use the metal tools because they can oxidize the dye and change its colors. You will know exactly how much dye you should use to mix with the developer. Don’t forget to wear a pair of gloves which can protect your skin from chemicals of dye.
Apply the dye to your wig
The next step is applying the dye. You should test the color of dye on a few strands of hair first. Notably, it’s better to try at a place that is almost invisible to others.
Doing that, you can try a different color if that one is not as good as you expected. You need to wait for about 30 to 40 minutes to see the results.
After that time, if you like this color, soak the lace front wig in the dye. Then, use your hands to scoop gently the dye over the wig and then spread it through the layers of the wig.
After dyeing the wig, put it on a wig stand in order to keep its shape. Use a comb or a hairbrush to help the dye go out of the wig.
The dye should be applied to an entire wig, which will make the dyed hair look natural. Next, after about 30 to 40 minutes, you have to leave the wig to let the color set.
Finally, wash your lace front wigs
The final step of coloring lace front wig human hair is to wash it. Don’t forget to use a color-safe shampoo or a special wig shampoo to make sure that the wig is as good as possible.
Put the dyed wig into warm water to get rid of any excess dye. After washing the shampoo, you need to apply the conditioner to the wig which helps the wig be shinier.
Dry the hair with a towel, you have to squeeze gently to remove excess water. Place it back on the stand to dry.
Finally, you can let the hair dry by leaving it on the stand until it is dry completely. Or you can also use a hairdryer on low heat.
Run the hairdryer up and down through the hair. You should not let the hair overheat because it will have bad impacts on the hair.
Overall, dyeing your wig is a perfect choice for you when you feel bored with your daily hairstyle or you want to have a hair color that is suitable for your gorgeous outfit.
