Hi Colleen, it’s Roberta, words fail me you are the best. What would this group do without you. This video is amazing. Now it’s my turn to stay up all night pondering on what can I do next to my wigs😀. You are by far the SUPERSTAR of this group. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It’s 7:24 am and I planned to do some cleaning on this rainy day. Weeelll, now who cares about cleaning. Time to check out which wig I can transform. Luv ya, 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for your wonderful Complements and you are very welcome! thank you for being patient with me as I'm trying to learn how to post these on TH-cam and not bore you to pieces. I look forward to seeing your transformation. Remember to take before and after pictures, even if they are just on manikins or laying on a table! Because it will help others see what you did
I personally do not like at all the L'Oreal root sprays!!!! I find them to be too sticky hard to control where you're putting the color and for the life of me I can't get it washed out of a wig that I ruined……… so I would start with eyeshadow colors until you can find one that you like. And you can just put it on with a make up brush or even a Q-tip. To get a little bit more depth with eyeshadow, you can even get it wet to apply it. Then if you want to go a little bit more permanent, I like to use alcohol markers such as Copic (and they have several gray colors to choose from ) also masters artist at Hobby Lobby, I believe has gray colors to choose from. Also, if you're wanting gray. And dark brown looks very good and natural as well. . and I have a video about that. I hope that helps. Have a wonderful evening.❤️❤️
I love what you've done....can you suggest a color to do a rather heavy highlighting on a too dark brown, almost black synthetic wig? It cannot be returned, clearance item.
I wish I could. I have tried and tried, and I can't find anything that will highlight a dark color without it looking nasty.... I tried blonde root spray, which just makes it tangled and awful, and does not look good. I also tried blonde dry shampoo just makes it look like a powdered George Washington wig so I haven't found anything at this point. So sorry.
Thanks for your quick response. I guess this should teach me to not order a wig on clearance unless the color swatch is big enough for a true look. I will try to sell but that's quite an undertaking; getting tired of donating my mistakes. Keep up the good work! 🎉
@@karenotlowski9071 yes I totally understand because I've got a closet full of mistakes myself. And trying to take pictures to put it for sale and not trusting people it's kind of scary. So I end up donating a lot.....
You can also try to slightly add a little bit of chalk markers, and even get them damp for more definition, but they seem to sort of disperse after a while, and you certainly don't want it to look chalky🙄🙄
Yes, I did! In masters touch from Hobby Lobby you can try WG2, which is a warm gray and also WG5 a smidge darker also warm gray! I hope you can find them. My Hobby Lobby seems to be going out of stock...... have a wonderful day❤️❤️
@@agresticumbra I have seen the alcohol with ink in a spray bottle, but I have not tried that because… I like to have more control of where the color is landing🙄🙄🙄🙄 Keep us posted what you try thank you❤️❤️❤️
If you have enough, black sharpies, you sure can! The color will fade out gently overtime so you may have to touch it up. But in my opinion, I would never ever use black roots spray by Loreal.!!!!!! I feel like that is nasty sticky. I messed up on a wig and did that and I still to this day. Can't get it out with anything I've tried. Good luck and let me know how your wig turns out 😃
Oh, I should also say people have colored wigs with Rit synthetic dye! I have some sitting here, but I haven't done it yet. So look at different options on TH-cam how others do it.
@@susanjennings9624 I have not found anything that will make it look lighter😫😫 Sometimes I have gotten a slight difference with a metallic silver sharpie if you're going for grayish. I am working on a video to show how I'm using clip in extensions for lighter colors so stay tuned for that.😉😉😉😉
I actually purchased the majority of mine at Hobby lobby. And some of the copic markers online at Amazon Amazon when Hobby Lobby quit selling them. But I imagine other brands would be just fine. You just wanna make sure it does not rub off on your fingers, neck or face test underneath first. ❤❤❤
I suppose that would depend on whether you are a natural redhead and wanting to keep it looking more natural. Or how dark you want the route to be if you want it to be a brunette color.🧐🧐🧐 Some of my favorite brunette colors are masters touch that you can get at Hobby lobby in the colors 92, 98 Chestnut Brown and 99 bronze. Of those three, the 98 is my favorite that I use more often. Or if you have copic markers, I like the E 49 dark bark is my go to for almost every Wig. if you're wanting to stay with more red or auburn colors but make it look like it has a slight root I would maybe try masters touch number 91 natural Oak, but I don't think that would give you much depth it pretty much looks like light Auburn or you could also try number 1 wine red, and I love using that one on my red girls❤❤❤ Let me know how it turns out or if you have more questions
I find Master Touch at Hobby lobby. And Copic Markers used to be at my hobby lobby, but they no longer carry them. So I find them on Amazon. And if you're looking for a specific color number search for that on Amazon.
@@caba32503 I notice a color in the water from them when I shampoo. But none of mine has faded enough to do it again.……… so that being said I would be very careful because I'm not sure how you would get them out except may be using alcohol but I have not tried that so I would just be very careful where you put them in to make sure that's what you want
@@katarinasimeone1358 When I wash it with my Estetica shampoo and conditioner, it does not seem to affect the marker colors. However, I'm trying a new product that's called. Smooth moves by not your mother., and it does seem to wash out the markers😳 so I put a note on that product so I don't use it when I don't want the markers to wash out!!!!!!!! if you are using your markers on something and at that moment, you don't like it run a cotton ball with alcohol down the strand, and that should remove a good portion of it. I hope this helps and thank you for watching.😍❤️ Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions❤️

Great video Colleen, glad I found you. What's a good root color for a gray wig?
I personally do not like at all the L'Oreal root sprays!!!! I find them to be too sticky hard to control where you're putting the color and for the life of me I can't get it washed out of a wig that I ruined……… so I would start with eyeshadow colors until you can find one that you like.

Since making this, have you come across a good beige or taupe? I'd expect taupe to have a bit of grey, but not beige. Thanks, Colleen!
Yes, I did! In masters touch from Hobby Lobby you can try WG2, which is a warm gray and also WG5 a smidge darker also warm gray! I hope you can find them. My Hobby Lobby seems to be going out of stock...... have a wonderful day❤️❤️
@@WigsGlam thanks again, I’m going to try both markers, and alcohol ink in spray bottle, pending on what I want to achieve. 😎
@@agresticumbra I have seen the alcohol with ink in a spray bottle, but I have not tried that because… I like to have more control of where the color is landing🙄🙄🙄🙄 Keep us posted what you try thank you❤️❤️❤️
Thank you amaZing!
Thank you for leaving a comment❤️❤️
Hi I wanted to know can I dye a synthetic dark brown wig fully black
If you have enough, black sharpies, you sure can! The color will fade out gently overtime so you may have to touch it up. But in my opinion, I would never ever use black roots spray by Loreal.!!!!!! I feel like that is nasty sticky. I messed up on a wig and did that and I still to this day. Can't get it out with anything I've tried.
Good luck and let me know how your wig turns out 😃
Oh, I should also say people have colored wigs with Rit synthetic dye! I have some sitting here, but I haven't done it yet. So look at different options on TH-cam how others do it.
Can you use this method to do high lights to lighten?

Where can I get the market's?
I actually purchased the majority of mine at Hobby lobby. And some of the copic markers online at Amazon Amazon when Hobby Lobby quit selling them.
But I imagine other brands would be just fine. You just wanna make sure it does not rub off on your fingers, neck or face test underneath first. ❤❤❤
Hello, what color would you suggest for a light auburn color, for the root? TY
I suppose that would depend on whether you are a natural redhead and wanting to keep it looking more natural. Or how dark you want the route to be if you want it to be a brunette color.🧐🧐🧐 Some of my favorite brunette colors are masters touch that you can get at Hobby lobby in the colors 92, 98 Chestnut Brown and 99 bronze.

Great like to order marks
I either find mine at Hobby Lobby or Amazon
Where do you find the markers?
I find Master Touch at Hobby lobby. And Copic Markers used to be at my hobby lobby, but they no longer carry them. So I find them on Amazon. And if you're looking for a specific color number search for that on Amazon.
Do the markers come out when you wash the wig?

This is awesome, I have a blonde wig that I would like to darken up. Thank you so much1
Thank you so much! Go slow and practice in a underneath area! You can always add more but so far I have never tried to get it out so beware of that😉😉
If you wash it, does the marker come out or is it permanent?

Question: have you used these on HD fibers and then washed a few days later?
I have used them on HD fibers, but I have not washed them
And I have only use them at the Very root, so I don't know how these would react with a flat iron
How can I order the markers
I either get mine at Hobby lobby or order them on Amazon❤
What is Cowboy Copper?
Beautiful auburn that's not too red and not too strawberry😁😁😁😁
A beautiful auburn that's not too red and not too strawberry😁😁
After you have dyed the wig, do you wash the wig afterwards? How long do you wait after dyeing the wig to rinse the wig?
