How to dye artificial hair?

Not all women from birth have real beautiful and thick hair. However, even those women or girls who have them in poor condition or are simply subtle by nature, thanks to modern innovations, this situation can be easily corrected. This will help ordinary hairpieces or curls attached with hairpins. But from time to time, you may want to change your image. Hair coloring is the most obvious option. You can, of course, buy several hairpieces, but this is not always possible, and in order to properly color them, you need to know and take into account some of the nuances.

In order for artificial hair to last as long as possible, you need to carefully handle them. It is better to dye them in special salons, but subject to several rules, you can dye artificial hair with paint even at home.

• It must be remembered that it is necessary to color the curls no more than two tones. For example, if the hair is naturally black, then repainting it immediately in blond will not work. You need to do this in several stages. In addition, not every dye is suitable for artificial hair, and they dye a little faster than natural.
• When painting, it is better to avoid those places where the strands are attached.

• To get the right tone, you need to pay attention to the table on the box. In addition, you must also consider the combination of skin tone with hair color.First you need to color the roots and only then do the tips.
• Also, do not overexpose the paint. In this case, the hair may become drier and brittle.

To properly recolor artificial hair, you can use different tools. But with the help of basma or henna (natural dyes) to achieve a good result will not work. It is better to resort to other materials. For example, even felt-tip pens or markers are suitable. You can also use ink or acrylic paints.

In this way, you can change the color of artificial hair. It is especially suitable for highlighting individual strands on lighter hair. So they can be painted, for example, in blue. Of course, this is a very painstaking work, especially if you need to highlight the entire wig.

To do everything, you need a high-quality marker of the desired color, for long hair you need to take two at once. When starting work, it is imperative to wear gloves; this is necessary so that your hands remain clean. After that, you need to get the rod out of the felt-tip pen and cut it so that in the end there remains a sponge soaked in the desired paint. Further in the cooked dishes, it will be better to use ceramic, pour alcohol, and then lower the sponge into it. Then it is already possible to start the staining itself, lowering into the dishes on a thin strand.

Many people use dye for fabrics - batik to transform wigs. This material is good in that it is absolutely safe for artificial hair. If any other synthetic paint can harm them or make them brittle, then this can be used, knowing for sure that the hairstyle will remain as luxurious as before. The only negative - the hair will become a little tougher, so they will have to be combed much more accurately.

Some girls note another drawback of this method of staining. The paint in this case falls unevenly. Therefore, it is advisable to use this dye only if some strands are to be dyed, and not all hair.

Everything is done very simply. Three cans of paint are mixed with three liters of water. Artificial strands are immersed in a container with colored liquid. All this is left to insist for three days. And in order for the tone to fall more evenly, once a day, the liquid must be carefully mixed. On the fourth day, the strands are removed and washed under running water until it becomes clean. After this, the hair needs to be thoroughly dried and combed well. This stain lasts a long time and looks natural.

Another unconventional material for dyeing artificial hair is ink. This method of coloring is suitable for those who want to achieve the most saturated color. The only negative is that the shade disappears quickly, and ink spots can remain on all clothes and things that the strands touch.

In order to dye your hair with ink, you need to choose the right shade, put on thick rubber gloves and, with a cotton swab, process each lock slowly and very carefully. Having achieved the desired tone, the hair is wiped and thoroughly combed.

If all the previous methods seem too ridiculous and time-consuming, then you can go the simpler way.A quick and modern way to color artificial strands is to use spray cans with acrylic paints.

The process is so simple that even a teenage girl can handle it. By the way, it is worth noting that The same coloring method is also used on dolls. Since the artificial hair and wig of some Barbie are not very different, you can safely work with this material. The tint is saturated and very persistent. The paint is not printed anywhere.

But we are talking only about high-quality acrylic paints. They are better to buy on specialized sites or in stores for artists. And to simplify the application process, you need to choose a tool in the cans. Working with them is extremely easy. Artificial curls are simply laid out on a newspaper, the can is pre-shaken, after which the paint is neatly sprayed onto the locks.

As in other cases, freshly dyed hair must be thoroughly dried for at least three hours. After that, colored locks just need to be combed. This is best done with a good comb.

Sometimes you want to bring some bright colors into your life. The easiest way to do it right is to change the color of your hair. And in order not to harm them, it is worth using artificial locks.
