How To Highlight A Synthetic Wig - The MUST KNOW Synthetic Wig Hack!

[@PwingMinecraft]

i think you should pin this. I did this and ended up in the hospital from inhaling toxic fumes for 1 hour. I should have known better. I didn't do this in a well ventilated area. This needs to be done outside or a work area with air purifier/ ventilation with a mask on. It is a lot of root spray used. I have a lot of pain on my chest and the doctor said my wheeze is caused by chemical inhalation and chest inflamation. The iv steriod and ashma inhaler didn't help so far. He said it should take a few days to start feeling better.

[@JesseMSimons]

Commented on your other comment already but wanted to repost here too. I am so sorry that happened to you! I definitely agree that everyone should make sure they are using any aerosol spray or products in a open or well ventilated area. I hope you feel better soon. ❤️

Thank you so much! I got used to wearing a VERY highlighted wig, and then when my new one wasn't, it looked too dark. I'll be using your great how-to tonight.

[@JesseMSimons]

This will make such a difference!

[@pennycarlson5465]

Now that I've tried it I can say OMG it is truly amazing. You can control the amount of "lightening" you do and it looks absolutely professional. Thanks again. @@JesseMSimons

perfect as always x

[@JesseMSimons]

Thank you!!😊

[@maries3609]

I do this process also but I never thought about pinning the paper down. That's a great idea and will be very helpful. Thank you ❤😊

[@JesseMSimons]

You are so welcome!

[@Noboddy71]

This was a such an easy and brilliant hack. Its almost like after you watch, ur like "omg..so easy, didnt I think of that?" I just subscribed to your channel, I cant wait to see what you think of next. ❤❤

[@JesseMSimons]

Thank you! That is always my goal When I make these. Let me know what you think. I have lots of videos here. 😁

[@elizabethlex7151]

I started watching your channel a long time ago because of your tutorials, which are really helpful. Then you kinda lost me when you stopped doing them. Glad to see you've started again! I like the lengthier videos. Sarah McFarland highlighted a blonde wig for me with red highlights and it looks awesome. I also have your wig brush that Sarah recommended. I hope you do a tutorial on thinning higher density wigs, which is what I most usually have to do. I've seen other thinning tutorials, but I'd like to see you do it.

[@JesseMSimons]

I have a few on here where I show how to thin wigs. 😊

[@onthehill3381]

Awesome! I have a dark brown wig with too bright of a highlight for me. I used the root spray in a dark brown to tone them down and it worked perfectly.

[@JesseMSimons]

[@WordsofLifeDVDs]

You have the greatest tutorials & wig hacks. I love this one and already have a wig picked out to try this on. So good to have you back 😊❤

[@JesseMSimons]

Tag me in photos once you do it!! I love seeing a good wig transformation. 😊

[@dixieseymour5041]

Thanks, great tutorial video! I been wanting to do this, good tips , especially not highlighting top layer to not get crunchiness. That happened to me, so thanks again. Always great tips and tutorials! 😊

[@DiamondStar2012K]

Thank you for this tutorial. I would like to get some platinum color spray on my 1b wigs since my own hair is going platinum.

[@JesseMSimons]

You are so welcome!

[@notsuspicioususer4080]

I think I’m gonna try this out for a Frankie stein cosplay I’m doing!! It’s hard finding the black and white highlighted wigs so I was looking into doing it myself with a white wig. I’ll just have to be extra careful because the colors are so different lol. Thanks for sharing

[@JesseMSimons]

That's such a great idea! It will be so cute!

[@jaymelynnmcintyre8574]

[@JesseMSimons]

Glad you like them!

[@keyliving3071]

lol Girl stop! You are so smart!!!!! I wouldve never thought of doing that! Im gonna go through your vids to see if I can come up with some good brands to try. I grew my hair back out last year after having a heart attack from stress. My bangs were the longest ever. So long! I was so happy until I saw how completely broken and destroyed the virgin hair was from stress. I cut it all off.....again. Its an asymmetrical bob now from that 1 cut. Havent cut it again. But I think Im gonna find me again and try some brands that look like me. Natural blonde hair. My hair was down to my rear and I cut it all off in 2017 in Florida's oven heat. It was like a fox stole around my neck. I just couldnt take it anymore! But it was so pretty! I dont know if it will grow out again but in the mean time, Im gonna find me. Im a wash n go person. Out the door. Have had mostly bed ridden depression since the 90s from a domestic violence marriage. So its a miracle if I can get out. You keep making your vids. You and your husband. Im glad God has blessed you with a good one. Enjoy life! Life is supposed to be fun! God bless you!

[@JesseMSimons]

Thanks! He’s pretty great. Check out my out of the box videos those show off some wigs from different brands. I post wigs on my FB all the time too. 😊

[@jacalynsqueglia7352]

This is awesome. I purchased a wig on-line that was clearances and cannot be returned. It's not only too shiny but needs highlights and rooting. I have to get it to work as I can't send it back.

[@JesseMSimons]

Let me know how it turns out!

[@Alexa-kb7fl]

Excellent tutorial - very creative. Can you use this method on a human hair wig and how do I add grey highlights to make it look age appropriate.

[@JesseMSimons]

Yes this is originally made for human hair so it can be used on a HH wig.

[@JesseMSimons]

@JesseMSimons they make a grey.

[@sheerattitude1]

Very cool ! I’m gonna try this on mine !!

[@JesseMSimons]

Go for it!

[@katylowe3504]

Very useful! Thanks!

[@JesseMSimons]

[@sugar392]

Will the dry shampoos work that spray out white? My wig is yellow and already light too, but only on top.

[@JesseMSimons]

To add highlights? No it usually fades right away. It’s great for removing shine from your wigs though!

[@brendajoyce9798]

What a great video. Kuddos! Two questions. Will that blonde show up more and a red wig, I hope? Also, how crunchy is crunchy? I am only gonna add bold highlights, so not a ton of them.

[@JesseMSimons]

It should work really well on a red wig. Just make sure you brush the spots out really well and it shouldn’t get crunchy.

[@pennycarlson5465]

Big question: will this stuff wash out when shampooing the wig? Or does it take more effort than my usual gentle cleaning?

[@JesseMSimons]

It definitely takes more work to get out. I usually use alittle dawn in a soak bath to remove it if I need/want to.

[@KeziaMcdaniel]

Wow! How long does that take?! And how how long does it take

[@JesseMSimons]

It’s pretty quick. Depending on how many highlights you want to put into it.

[@bevstus1663]

What ritcolor would you use to make gray highlights more sand blonde color

[@JesseMSimons]

You could use the golden yellow color they have in the dyemore synthetic dye line.

[@Nolovelostboo]

Wow ❤

[@JesseMSimons]

I hope you enjoyed it!

Can I make a scalp looking part on a basic cap wig with a flesh colored Copic marker? I want to make scalp looking parts on my basic caps.

[@JesseMSimons]

I have used flesh toned sharpies before so I’m sure that would work as well.

[@judycrisenbery2982]

@@JesseMSimons YAY!!! Thank you. I'm going to try it.

[@Clara-wo1hg]

Looks great! Can you do a video about making a wig lighter all over please 👍

[@JesseMSimons]

You can’t really make a synthetic wig lighter you can only go darker except for this highlight hack. You could use it on a whole wig but it may give it an odd texture so I wouldn’t recommend it.

[@Clara-wo1hg]

@@JesseMSimons Sorry I meant a human hair wig x

[@judycrisenbery2982]

I've noticed that my wig feels a bit sticky after doing this. It looks fantastic but feels kinda sticky, how do I get rid of the stickiness???

[@JesseMSimons]

You really need to comb it out really well when you do it. You can dampen it and then comb it out when it’s almost dry with a fine tooth comb and that should help.

[@judycrisenbery2982]

@@JesseMSimons oh, good.....thank you so much

[@shirleywelch4985]

Will that wash out?

[@JesseMSimons]

It will slowly fade and then you can wash it out if you want to.

[@tracy-annharris3157]

Hi. How long does the spray-on last ???

[@JesseMSimons]

It will slowly fade some but usually doesn’t completely come out until you wash it.

[@tracy-annharris3157]

Thank u so much for your prompt response. Definitely appreciate you. I will now go n subscribe

[@janetstone1510]

What color product are you using?

[@JesseMSimons]

Light blonde

[@maureenobrien224]

Does it wash out?

[@JesseMSimons]

It will come out but you will need to use Dawn and put a little more work into removing it.

[@racharina]

After you finish highlighting, do you wash the wig and let it dry?

[@JesseMSimons]

No I let it dry and brush it out super well and that’s it.

[@racharina]

@@JesseMSimons thank you

[@judycrisenbery2982]

I know my question doesnt belong on here but I need your help. How can I get my Envy Carly to have more luster & a little shine? It's quite dull looking:-(

[@JesseMSimons]

You can use a silicone spray very lightly to add some shine back in. If it’s heat friendly fibers then some heat to it will help it get its softness and shine back as well.

[@racharina]

Question, is that highlight permanent? I went in Amazon's comments and people were using it on regular hair and it washes out, it is not permanent.

[@JesseMSimons]

It will fade and you can usually wash it out with some wig shampoo and a little work but it holds up pretty well.

[@sabineseabrooks430]

It is permanent right !? I mean to wash the wig it has to be permanent!

[@JesseMSimons]

It is not permanent. Once you wash the wig it will go away.
