How to dye a synthetic wig : Harley Quinn pigtails
Dying a synthetic wig is fairly cheap and easy, as long as you follow the directions and are careful. I made a couple 'oops' mistakes while dying this Harley Quinn wig, sooo I'll show you how to avoid them. BTW: Using Rit Dye is the best method for dying wigs in my opinion. It's longer lasting, doesn't fade, and once it's rinsed out and dried it doesn't bleed. I've died a wig before using the Sharpie method (my Arkham Knight Harley Quinn wig) and it didn't work great.. whenever the wig got wet through rain, high humidity, or even sweat, the color bled onto my white shirt.. I had to use bleach often to get the color out… So yeah - Let's get started!
WARNING: NOT ALL SYNTHETIC WIGS ARE THE SAME.
Make sure you have a Heat Resistant wig, and make sure to note the highest temperature it can handle.. mine handles up to 320°
