Yes, dyes or changes a lace front wig, but with significant considerations for successful outcomes:
  • Human Hair Wigs: These can be colored in the same manner as natural hair, allowing you to change the color as needed.
  • Synthetic Wigs: Dyeing synthetic wigs is difficult because they are made from plastic fibers. Special dye made for synthetics may be of use, but the outcome is unpredictable.
  • Test Strand: Always test on a small strand to know how the wig lace front responds to the dye.
  • Clean the Wig: Wash the wig to strip any styling products or residues that can impede dye absorption.
  • Select Correct Dye: Professional hair dye is to be used for human hair wigs. For synthetic wigs, fabric dye or synthetic hair dye can be used
  • Follow Instructions: Follow the instructions for the dye product to achieve the best outcome.
  • Protect the Lace: Apply Vaseline or a similar barrier to the lace to prevent staining while dyeing.
  • Cutting: Trim or layer a lace front wig to suit your style.
  • Heat Styling: If the wig is labeled as heat-friendly, use the appropriate tools to style it with heat, such as curling or straightening.
  • Regular Care: Follow standard wig care principles to maintain its fresh and long-lasting appearance.
Following these guidelines will help you dye or alter a lace front wig to your desired style while maintaining the wig's longevity and quality.​
