Can I Change the Colour of My Wig?

There are numerous reasons that you may want to change the color of your wig. Color may fade over time, you may regret a color choice, or you may just want a new look. In this article, we will deal with the possibility of changing the color of real hair wigs only.

Human hair wigs in Miami, Florida, are exposed to an extra dose of sunshine and will therefore oxidize quicker than human hair wigs worn in more temperate climates. As bio hair grows, the root hair is always darker than the tip hair, which is obviously older and therefore more oxidized. Because a wig does not grow, there is no new root growth. With time, the root color of a wig starts to look faded and brassy (just the opposite of bio hair). A common thing that wig stores in Miami dealing with human hair wigs offer is a technique called “rooting.” Essentially, the wig technician dyes only a few to several inches of the root hair. This gives the appearance of natural hair growth and the illusion that you’re not wearing a wig. 

Let’s face it, not all of our hair decisions are well thought out. Hair color regret is real, and real hair wigs are no exception. Wig stores in Miami that specialize in real hair wigs can recommend a course of action in case you regret a color decision. Virgin human hair is the only reliable hair that can have color altered with limited damage. The rule of thumb is that depositing color (going darker) is easier on hair than lifting color (going lighter). Whenever possible, adding highlights rather than fully bleaching out a color is preferable and will ensure limited damage to the hair.

Professional salon colors and bleach are recommended. Unless you don’t mind taking a huge chance with your hairpiece, boxed dyes are strongly discouraged. Highlighting hair requires a great deal of skill and training and rarely ends well in a DIY setting. Always remember, the cost of color correction is infinitely more than having a professional do it right the first time.

High-end, human-hair wigs are incredibly versatile and are well worth investing in if you want a super natural, comfortable, long-lasting wig. In fact, often the wig outlasts your love of the style or color. Although making a wig longer is not usually worth the expense, a trim and color change can completely reinvent an older wig and is always cheaper than buying a new high-end wig. 

Wig stores in Miami that specialize in servicing human hair are best qualified to help you make the right decision when changing color. Be sure to choose a stylist that has experience working with human hair wigs and will give you time and patience to help make the right choice for you.
