Thank you for showing me this video! I bought a wig in the style that I like but didn't realize that I had gotten it way too blonde. I can't wait to try this out. Thank you!
Jesse!! You just made my day as I bought a wig and I'm not completely loving the colour of it right now. This could be a game changer again for me. Thank you so much for all of your tips 🥰
Loved all your tips! Just bought a new wig that came not as ash blonde as I would like. Would have loved to see a side by side of the before and after!
This is the first time I've ever had to tone one of my blonde wigs that's too yellow. I am going to try your method for sure, thank you! ♥Also, I know you're a center part girl, but I love BANGS. Can a person cut bangs into any wig? Do you have instructions on doing that?
Thank you, this has been very interesting. You don't mention whether there are any cautions/instructions for washing and caring for this now-dyed wig? Will it fade?
Adding to my previous text. Your making it cooler and ashy I don't want that I want warmer and more tan color. Please say there's a formula for this. I looked into formulas for rit synthetic and I'm going to try that one hopefully it doesn't come out orange.
This is the exact video I needed! Thank you so much! I had a few questions though: 1: will this work on a lace front or will it dye the lace purple? I know you mentioned that the dye sticks less to the cap with the 99% alcohol but I don't think you mentioned lace specifically. 2: would this work on a wig that is more orange than yellow if I used a blue dye?
It doesn’t dye the lace from my experience and I’ve done it to a lot of my wigs. You can use the purple or blue to try and get the orange warmth out. I haven’t done it on a orangey wig specifically but color wheel wise it should help tone it out. 😊
I have a nice warm brown synthetic wig with brassy highlights that does nothing for my complexion. Do you think this would affect the cool brown as well?
Will you please do a video on how to lighten a dark brown wig? I have a few that are just to dark for me and I would love to lighten them and put a few lighter streaks in them. Thank you in advance!!
Hey, hope all is well. I love how you display your wigs. Looking for this or something similar. Could you please point me in the right direction? I can see everything and it isn’t bulky. Please help 😊😊
How do you change a darker root only to more ashy blonde? I have Chay and love the dark roots but it’s too dark for me and too much. Suggestions on how to lighten some of it? Thx!!
You could try the blonde for dark hair that loreal makes. They have a dark blonde I believe or medium blonde. I’m working on a few ways to lighten a wig but right now that’s the only suggestion I have for sure.
I’m going to attempt this with the Brown then have and update you. I believe in theory it would be the best one to use but I want to experiment a little. 😊
Hi there! I just tried this technique on the Caris wig from Chelsey Smith (used 99%, 4 cap fulls, and let it soak for 20ish min)and it didn't seem to do anything. Is it possible that wig is too yellow for this to work? Or is there a tweak you'd recommend? Thanks! Love your channel!
Caris is probably to warm but you could try the process again with 70% and 6 capfuls instead and it will probably pull more of the warmth out. I want to go and test this on her now! 🤔
I have use 75% alcool and Rit dye like yours...On a synthetic wig Estetica RH12/26 RT4 I leave her 15 minutes and it does not do any change The highlights was even more shinny and same yellowish stripes than before? What did I do wrong? I would like make her more ashy highlights????
I just got a new wig and so tired of losing money sending them back so I put roots into the wig..Went a little overboard and got to much to far down on the roots. My question is there anyway I can lighten these roots? My wig was more the platinum blonde side and I used medium golden blonde root color. I first washed it in a baking powder bath and let it dry and then I washed it to try and lighten the root spray some..Helped some but have it soaking in another bath to wash again..I.have 7 wigs and only have one, cheaper one that I like and another that I will wear everyone in awhile. I have RW, Garbor, other brands and a Toni Brattin and she is my favorite. Please help if you can.
You can add some highlights to the rooting to help break up the darker parts. Unfortunately haven’t found a way to go lighter other then that on synthetics yet.
Can the same process be applied to clip in extensions? My sister has a full set of blonde extensions that she needs to make platinum and I have a clip in bangs that is dark chocolate brown that I want to make 6.66 RR with a line of 5N I didn’t know it was possible to dye synthetic hair so I haven’t been able to wear them in a few years lol any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Yes if they are synthetic you can do it this way it can dye/tint the thread though so I would not bring it all the way up to the ends where the stitching is
I want to tone the oarnge out my wig that's already an oarnge ish red level 8 to more of a strawberry blonde. I'm hoping this will help if i use blue rit dye instead. Thoughts?
This won’t lift any color at all so if your wanting to “lighten” the wig that won’t do anything to it. You can email me photos and I can see what help I can offer. Wigsupport@jmsimons.com

I actually have 849393 wigs. Lol 😂😆
@@JesseMSimons Great! I was worried. I tried this and it really came out beautiful! I added a little depth and warmth. Opens up a lot of possibilities!
@@jayne0814 perfect! So I would check out my how to dye a wig video but use less dye and only dip the wig in for about 5 minutes at a time and then rinse in between until you get the color your wanting. I need go do a video now!!!!
I have a wig that is light brown with very chunky blonde streaks in it (non-rooted). Both the light brown and blonde colors are too warm for me. Would this method work to give the wig more overall ash tone to it? Also, the lace extends out a little from the front hairline (and I do not wish to trim it), would this method dye the lace? Thank you!
Hi! It could tint/darken the lace alittle but I never have any staining issues. It will help with the brown some as well it just won’t be as drastic but yes overall would give it a cooler look.
i ordered a ash blond wig, but it looks more strawberry blond. I didnt think the purple would work, but gave it a try. It actually made it more red . Do you think maybe blue to cancel out the red (orangy blond)
@JesseMSimons Do you have a video on toning and adding some dimension on real hair wigs? I found a piece super cheap but, is really yellow. Thank you for your time.
Question: I did 2 wigs, and it made them both much more ash, but WAY too dark. I have tried to remove with alcohol, acetone, and bleach bath....to no avail. Any other suggestions?
You can use RIT Color Remover! Here's the link. amzn.to/3hyU5zC Sorry it took so long to reply. I'm trying to keep up with the messages. At times I get behind.
I am new to wigs and despite doing a lot of research I have acquired several wigs that are way too warm one is more golden blonde so I think this method would work the other is called pearl but the color really to me it looks more like a yellow pearl not a white pearl if I use this process do you think it would turn kind of purple since it’s like a yellow white?

You can wash it if you want to. I usually add some type of wig spray or leave in spray so I’ve never had an issue with the alcohol smell. It washes out pretty well with just the rinsing and wash out. 😊
Wait. I am new to wigs, and it is just pummeled into you to treat wigs like fine lingerie, and barely touch the wig when washing, and no heat… my wigs look like crap after washing and letting dry naturally, and I feel like they are breaking down. I am trying different products to use between wears, and they smell like old lady perfume. I have Raquel Welch, Tress allure, Godivas secret wigs…GSW is totally dull and has totally lost its shape. Help please. 🤦♀️🙏😱

Hi!Alcool 70% or 99%? If i use 70% Do I leave it less longer than 15 minutes😮? Thanks! Andrea from Canada
I prefer the 90%+ it tones more from my experience and doesn’t leave as dark a color on the material part of the cap.
I have a platinum blonde wig I love the style but not digging the platinum white color. How can I get it more to a beigish blonde?
You can do a quick dip is a very diluted rit dye that will give it a more golden color.

Yes you can tone still it won’t affect the brown.
@@JesseMSimons thanks so much! Really appreciate your response.
Is that a lace front wig? If so, did it change the lace color at all?
It’s a lace front and no it doesn’t tint the lace.
Does your toning method make the darker roots not so brassy as well please?
It will help tone warmth but won’t deposit any color to the roots
What is I want a more auburn? I looked at the Rid dye website to see what colors to mix. Will they mix well with the alcohol ?
If you want to dye the wig darker you would want to use a different method with the rit dye or alcohol ink.
Someone gave me a synthetic brown ponytail w/blonde highlights. It’s warm will this work on it? I have ash brown hair..😅

No it’s doesn’t stain the lace but it will tint the cap some if it’s a tan one.

Still watching 🙂 will this dye the lace on a lacefront?
It can tint it.
Is there a way to add some blonde in? I've got a wig that looks very grey and not platinum blonde. Is there a way to make it more blonde?
The only thing you could do is add highlights with the blonde root spray. I have a video on here on how to do it.
I have a wig that is light brown with very chunky blonde streaks in it (non-rooted). Both the light brown and blonde colors are too warm for me. Would this method work to give the wig more overall ash tone to it? Also, the lace extends out a little from the front hairline (and I do not wish to trim it), would this method dye the lace? Thank you!
Hi! It could tint/darken the lace alittle but I never have any staining issues. It will help with the brown some as well it just won’t be as drastic but yes overall would give it a cooler look.
@@JesseMSimons thank you! I’ll give it a try.
Can i do this on a heat friendly wig? Would hot water work as good as alcohol?
No it won’t tone the wig if you don’t use the alcohol
i ordered a ash blond wig, but it looks more strawberry blond. I didnt think the purple would work, but gave it a try. It actually made it more red . Do you think maybe blue to cancel out the red (orangy blond)
You could definitely try blue. I’m surprised
The purple did that.
@@JesseMSimons just an update - the blue did knock down the orange alot, so she was more yellow, BUT the yellow had a green hue...
How do you get rid of the black roots to make it match the rest of the hair?
You can try adding some highlights up into the rooting
What color can I use to tone down a color 30 wig
Also is this the only dye that works?
To tone yes this is the only thing you can use for the most part. For dying you can also dye with alcohol based inks.
Can you tone a brown wig with blue? Or will this only work on pale colors?
I would have to test it out and see. As of right now I’ve only been able to accomplish this with blondes and lighter colors.
Would this work for a warm brown wig that I want to cool down as well? Do I still use purple?
I haven’t had the same success with brunettes as I have with blondes but it won’t hurt it to try it out!
Showing a before and after side by side would be beneficial, thanks.

You can put Vaseline on it if you want but then you have to wash it out.

What color to use to tone a cool wig warm blonde?
You would want to do a rit dye brown and dip it quickly
@@JesseMSimons Thanks!
What should I do if the wig now has a purple tone in the blonde?
From toning it?? Can you send me some photos on IG and I can help you. 😊. jesse_m_simons
Will it Stan a the lace if it is lac3 front
No it doesn’t stain the lace but it will tint the cap material. You’re the only one who will see it. 😉
Doesn't it dye the lace front too?
It shouldn’t. Sometimes it can “tint” it alittle but I don’t see it when wearing it. It will dye the c material on the cap though.
Wont that dye the monofilament?
I haven’t had any issues with it dying or tinting the lace or monotop. It will dye the cap construction though.
@@JesseMSimons ok...thank you:-)
Still here
Thanks for watching!
Wait. I am new to wigs, and it is just pummeled into you to treat wigs like fine lingerie, and barely touch the wig when washing, and no heat… my wigs look like crap after washing and letting dry naturally, and I feel like they are breaking down. I am trying different products to use between wears, and they smell like old lady perfume. I have Raquel Welch, Tress allure, Godivas secret wigs…GSW is totally dull and has totally lost its shape. Help please. 🤦♀️🙏😱
Send me some photos on IG or Facebook and I can definitely help you out. Easier for me to recommend some things you can do to restore them if I see what we are working with. 😊
@@JesseMSimons thank you! I will, you are amazing!🥰
What about the lace?
It doesn’t dye the lace
soooo... the lace turned purple :( what can I do??
Can you email me photos? I’ve never had it dye the lace and I’ve done this so many times. If I see it I can help you easier. 😊
