hair Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig be dyed the same way as naturally
growing human hair from the scalp?
Yes. Hair on
a Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig can be dyed the same way as human
hair growing from the scalp.

hair Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig using RIT (fabric) dye is recommended.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do I use the
same color as my own hair color?
No. Using a
color that is one shade lighter than your own hair color will
yield a closer or perfect match as your own hair color.
You may wish
to color both the hair on your Hairpiece or Lace Front Wig and
your own hair at the same time for a perfect match.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will the results
have unwanted red tones?
You should follow
the instructions that come with the dye.
Tip: Adding
a few drops "Red Out" to the mix will eliminate unwanted red
tones.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What sort of
hair color should I use?
Using professional
human hair coloring products is recommended.
Tip: Cream developers
are less messy than liquid. Use a professional hair color from
any leading brand such as Revlon, Clairol, Wella, L'Oreal, etc.
