Description
Since people seem to like my headset tutorial, figured I'd try another tutorial. Hopefully you guys will like this one too!Related content

I would start with 2-3 drops of each color and increase it from there if it's not as saturated as you would like.

My last question! ( I keep firing them at you) Is it possible to use another branch of ink than the FW ink? Sadly, my country doesn't sell that branch but does sell other branches of ink ^^~Β

I would assume it would work. I haven't tried it with other other brand though.

Is this dying method waterproof?
I'm cosplaying from the swimming anime, Free!, and my Rin wig is too light a red. Because I'll probably end up in a pool, I want a method thatΒ won't run...

I've never tried it, but I can't imagine that it's waterproof. Plus I would be worried about the ink reacting with the chlorine in the pool.

Well I'll give it a shot and just get a bucket of water from my local pool to drop my wig in to test

That sounds like a good idea!

Would...would this work for dying part of a wig? Say the back half?
I need a wig for a Kai Hiwatari cosplay but the lady at the local costume shop said you can't dye wigs, that it only gets the surface.
Is that true, it doesn't look like it but I'd like to know before I follow her advice & get two wigs to butcher & sow back together into some kind of franken-wig.

Sewing the two wigs together would probably be better since you would have more control over which parts were which color.
I believe the alcohol in the dye mixture helps it seep (at least somewhat) into the plastics that wigs tend to be made out of, though some wig fibers won't accept dyes at all.

I think I'll experiment with this one cheap wig I have and see how well making two-toned hair works, then I shall decide if I'll get one wig & dye the back or two wigs & turn them into a franken-wig.
Thanks for the advice.

No problem. Good luck!

Thanks (I have noticed a distinct lack of front/back franken-wig tutorials though, plenty of left/right ones though)

Awww, you're very welcome! ^w^

Excellent! Thank you! That is the kind of wig I'll need to be dyeing and I was a little hesitant because I heard they may not take dye as well. But I am much more confident. Thank you.

No problem! Best of luck! ^^

sorry once dry will the color be permanent or it could dirty clothes?
thank you

It is possibly that it will stain the clothes so I would be careful.

Is it okay to use black fw ink for this? I have a navy blue wig but it needs to be black and the sharpie method wont work for dying, I haven't tried using the sharpie method to get black, its just what i've read online.

The black FW ink works just fine for this tutorial ^^

okay thank you

I kinda feel bad for the wig stand...D:>
Nice tutorial though ^^

No worries ^^ I'll have to try this at some stage~

Would you be able to use this method on heat resistant wig?
π: 0 β©: 1
You should be able to ^^

Would you be able to dye a blonde wig black using black ink?
π: 0 β©: 1
You probably would. It would just take a lot of coats of ink ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh gawd... derrrrrp! I'll just buy a purple wig and dye around certain areas...
π: 0 β©: 1
lol XD Yep, that should work

Okay, I'm assuming that you can't do too much with a wig that's black to start off with, so if I was to dye a wig two colours (black and purple) what base colour wig do you think I should get? I was thinking of white but I'd prefer not to do thousands of coats for the black... and if I get a brown wig I'm worried it'll affect the purple to much... :/

It seems obvious to me if u buy a wig in the shade of purple your looking for then you only need to dye one side black! No need to do both~ xD

sorry, but what's FW Ink? cool tut, btw ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
FW Ink is an artist ink, mostly for calligraphy

No problem ^_^ Best of luck

Thank you for this! Hopefully I'll be able to try it out in the future.
Do you think it'd work for dyeing a silver wig entirely black?
