Dying a black human hair wig brown.?

I bought a wig recently and the colour is too dark (black 1b), I really love the style and it cost quite a lot of money. But I would prefer a lighter colour, ideally a medium brown. Would I completely destroy the wig by trying to lighten the colour?

The wig is made from human hair.

Yes, Human hair can be dyed, but it is advisable to test a small piece of it prior to dying all of it. Also please remember that the hair has already been processed, so if dying the hair try to choose a hair colour which is already a near match to desired colour.

ignore Whitney, anyways I think you should go to a place where you bought the wig and ask if dying it will ruin the hair or go to a salon and ask a professional :)

if the proffesional says that dying it is fine then I suggest you let a hair stylist do it rather than risk messing it up at home.

I agree, you will wreck the wig if you dye it.

Either buy another wig, or leave it alone ;o)

Maybe you can get a spray tan so the wig does not look so dark???

Dark hair is nice anyway!!!
