How To Highlight Synthetic Wigs Wig Hack | Synthetic Wig Highlight | How To Make A Wig Look Natural

[@minigirl6379]

I have several rooted wigs where I think the rooting is too dark. I've not been wearing them because of it. Thanks to YOU, I can lighten little sections at the roots and wear them now! Can I just say, you are freaking awesome. I thought I had just wasted a lot of money on those wigs. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😘💕

[@JesseMSimons]

You're welcome! If you can please take a pic and tag me on Instagram. I love to see how this community alters wigs!

[@krystawhatever7657]

same!!

[@judycrisenbery2982]

@minigirl6379 I did that, too, with my Envy Carly. It's Almond Breeze with really black roots that are to long. I used light blonde Loreal root touch up. Now, it looks sooooo much better

[@musicmaker4him901]

This is a life saver! I wear a lot of synthetic messy buns and ponytails. I have some gorgeous pieces that are too dark to match my hair, so I’m definitely going to be doing this!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!❤

[@JesseMSimons]

You are so welcome!

[@parrottlover]

Kudos! As a licensed stylist/colorist I love experimenting with wigs. Previously I have used synthetic Rit dye and sharpies for lowlights,which is quite tedious. This is sooo much more doable!! I will now use this to introduce my reluctant clients to temporary hilites!! Which of course will assure me that they will get actual hair lights as a color service. Thank you lady!

[@JesseMSimons]

Great idea!! Glad I could help!

[@stephanieswtchks800]

I use a silver sharpie for pops or highlights. The finger weave is an awesome hack! The sharpie takes forever but is permanent. I love this idea for quick do's. Much faster!!!

[@JesseMSimons]

Good idea with the marker!

[@cherylj7460]

I’ve heard people claim that the sharpie smell never goes away. Is this true?

[@JesseMSimons]

I don’t smell it after I let it air out over night but I might not be as sensitive to the smell.

[@stephanieswtchks800]

@@cherylj7460 I have never noticed. I am streaking a few pieces of hair though. You could wash the wig afterwards. Put it in warm water with 1/2 C white vinegar. I swish it, let it sit 5-10 min. Toss shampoo/conditioner or whatever you normally do to wash your synthetic. White Vinegar removes every odor I have ever found. I put 1C in every wash! Acts as a softener too. NO vinegar smell stays behind. Could also hit the wig with dry shampoo or comb through with a used dryer sheet. Careful the dryer sheet can leave a waxy feel. That is why I suggest a used sheet. Last tip, sniff the marker before using it. Name brand Sharpie and Amazon brand "sharpies" do not carry the same scent as "permanent markers" which are super strong. Best to you Doll!

its beautiful but it would take alot of the blonde color to do all over like 10 cans im thinking. thinking a hairdresser might can do this

[@JesseMSimons]

@@angelxorae88 definitely wouldn’t take that many and you can’t use regular hair dye on synthetic wigs so this really is the best option. If you have another product you have tried would love to know so I can try it out! 🙂

[@patricialeclair1310]

Jesse, I made a snapshot of the product you used to highlight this wig. ( But I didn't catch what you used to spray on the dry highlighted hair). I'm losing a lot of my top and crown hair.

The things I have learned from you are amazing. I was in tears yesterday because I thought I was stuck with a 250$ Gabor wig that didn't come rooted. Now I know I can fix that.

Thank you so much for this! I have very long dark blonde hair with highlights that I color myself. I just bought a synthetic topper as I'm going through a little hair loss right now. It has been so difficult to find a color match, but I finally found a dark blonde topper. The color was near perfect, but it has no dimension. I used a dark brown furniture marker to make roots and low lights, and that came out great! Now I can use your method to make just a few blonde highlights to really match my own hair!

Disperse die acrylic fiber and polyester fiber which is what synthetic wigs are made of so these guys are what you use and you can get any. Color glitters whatever and there are like $2? Tulip disperse dye @Walmart for a big package so yeah. It is the best way guaranteed that your wig will come out perfect . What You do is use the dye with hot water I will post info on it too. Hope that helped a little Disperse dyes have substantivity for one or more hydrophobic fibres e.g. cellulose acetate, nylon, polyester, acrylic and other synthetic fibres.

[@paulawilliams8880]

I have been following the really smart roots,high-lighting and low-lighting you have been doing! Great innovation! Now i am pushing!! I have short wigs with one exception. It is shoulder length with shorter around the head. Mullet if you wish. The top has great blonde high-lights but the lengthy part is quite brown (light to medium brown). I am not used to the darker brown any more and as i am older i am trying to stay highlights before going more blonde. For shorter wigs. How on earth should i use highlight spray like L’Oréal Root Spray to do hight lights or will i just have to spray and brush in spray and brush in to get what i like? One wig is just too yellow (Gabor) so that one i could just spray it. But for the more brown short styles - It would be really hard to spray just an inch or two at a time. I think you may have to digest all this. I don’t expect you to have an instant solution but i would love if you could think about it and one day maybe do a video on it. Thanks for all your courageous and innovative ideas!

I have worn her a few times and the color is still there. I haven’t washed her yet but I have washed wigs I’ve used root spray on and it does usually wash off so you would more then likely have to re apply this after you washed it.

[@kr_herbert]

Jesse, what's your best advice to apply this method to curls? Anything you'd do differently? Or do you think this wouldn't even work that well on curls? I have a very dark Walnut (Tressallure) that looks a little harsh against my face. L'Oreal spray comes in Light- , Light Golden-, and Med-Brown, but not in the Blondes w/dark roots version. I don't want too much contrast, but I don't know how transluscent (or opaque?) this product is. Any words of wisdom appreciated. Kathy

[@JesseMSimons]

It is not super bold unless you do a few layers on each of the sections. You would want to do small sections like I do here and just brush it out still before it dries just don’t pull the curl down when brushing it out. It also is more of a buildable blonde so if you did a light handed spray it would not be as contrasting as it would be if you did a heavier spray and then an additional layer after that. Hope that makes sense.

[@s.b.1442]

I am going to be Ginger Spice for Halloween and pre-made Ginger Spice wigs are atrocious. If I bought a regular, better quality red wig, would this work as a way to get chunky highlights at the front?

thanks for the heart but I put my money where my mouth is as the saying goes and decanted a can of the product you describe and it yields a remarkably small amount of pigment. Not enough to even brush one or bundled strands....So to those of you wanting to do this you need to follow the original poster's instruction.

@@JesseMSimons thank you so much for your quick reply. I did buy the spray and I will try to do it this week 🤞 it will work as well as in the video Can you recommend a buget friendly wig stand like yours that is a tripod? Thank you again 😊

[@JesseMSimons]

Hey! Here are some links: Wig Head Stand - amzn.to/3tnraTZ Wig Head - amzn.to/3wYS72r Styrofoam Wig - Head - amzn.to/3dwb1Gk Wig head isn't included in this stand but here are two. The styrofoam is the cheapest. I prefer the other one. Both I used over a year without any crazy issues.

[@tinklooker2176]

Can I just ask if can go from black synthetic to blonde colour using this method but not highlighting or another way thanks 🙏

[@JesseMSimons]

No I wouldn’t recommend that since it would A take a ton of product and B would probably turn out making the wig stiff.

[@auraaurora9815]

This is a strange question but I am looking for wigs that transition from my light ash brown to grey. So I have brown wigs but I would like to put in grey strands. Would this product/procedure work for that? Thank you.

[@JesseMSimons]

It would but you will you have to find a grey spray.

[@neeleymountain]

Ha ha! I have that product for my own hair and I wondered about using it. Cool!

[@JesseMSimons]

Yep it works great!! 😁

[@neeleymountain]

@@JesseMSimons the photos from which we choose our wigs often looks lighter because of their lighting. I just bought one I thought was streaked, even the description said it had multiple colors, but I got one much like the one you just used but more red. I didn’t want to return it, I liked the style, but can’t handle solid red. I’ve been looking at that spray and wondering. But isn’t that a glue you used to seal it? Just don’t know that product.

[@JesseMSimons]

The got-to-be glue is the glue to help seal the spray onto the synthetic fibers. However, it can be washed out.

[@JesseMSimons]

I think you should watch my video on rooting a wig. It might work better for what you need.

[@etee0815]

I have been using this technique for a long time

[@JesseMSimons]

Awesome!

Hi Jesse I'm new to your channel. I'm subscribed now and thanks for the hack! Since you posted this video have come found a hack for adding highlights to synthetic wigs using semi-permanent coloring?

[@JesseMSimons]

Nothing more permanent yet. I have been trying out some different things but this really has been the best option so far. I promise I will make sure you all know as soon as I can work it out! 😊

[@hair4eversingapore990]

Is that a synthetic wig? How did you take away the shine permanently? Great video.

[@JesseMSimons]

You can use dry shampoo to remove the shine. Also washing in cold water helps remove it as well. I usually do a few drops of dawn in a cold bowl and then let it sit for 10 mins and then rinse with cold water.

[@FitKat4U]

amazing!!!! 😊 👏🏼

[@jeangiersher2903]

I would like to do this in reverse. Purchased a long blonde synthetic wig that is too light, kinda grayish. I hate the return/exchange process, so thought about coloring it myself. I don't like the fake looking shine on synthetic wigs but human hair is just too expensive. Would like to use medium brown highlights, maybe even some blonde to take out the ash look. My own hair is blonde and I do my gray roots with medium brown and don't color the rest of it, but my hair is thinning, breaking, and getting so frizzy, I can't deal with it, i.e. the wig. Sometimes I have to do blonde highlights over where I have colored my roots because the brown bleeds out a bit. The wig does have some wave in it and some layering. I was afraid I would ruin the wig because years ago I shampooed some extensions and they went completely limp. Same when I put regular hair color on extensions. It seems nearly impossible to find a wig that is the right color so being able to do this would be fantastic. Your video was very informative and thanks for the list of products too. I will check out the rest of your wig hacks. So glad I found this info! Thanks!

[@margretreilly]

Thanks. Great video. How blonde do the highlights come out?

[@JesseMSimons]

They are pretty blonde if you want them to be more bold I would spray them with 2 layers or do thicker chucks of hair.

[@margretreilly]

@@JesseMSimons Thank you. I was hoping for a more cool blonde. You did a great job.

Great video!! Is it possible to lighten a dark colored (black) synthetic wig?

[@JesseMSimons]

I am working on a few experiments with this and as soon as I come up with a good process for you guys there will definitely be a video!

[@brownambition1173]

Ok thank you!

[@brendawiggins8882]

Can you add some grey to a medium dark brown wig. I’m now close to 38, Med ash brown / 25% ash grey. AKA: milkshake in Jon Renau. Maybe a rooted affect could look good. I’m buying a backup color 10/26 R8. Thanks for very good instructions in your videos.

[@JesseMSimons]

You could definitely doing a grey you would just have to find a good grey spray and you may have go do a few “layers to get the color your wanting.

[@suzannepage3360]

Can you offer advice to me too? The hair on my head is staying on my brush. Med-to dark Ashe brown Like ‘dpHUE-temporary wash in hair color. I bought last fall-12” Jon Renau Easi-part Wavy topper in Milkshake! I did not return it n I should have but it was after Maui n I was heart-brokened. It’s really too old for me n my thin face. I have shortened it n need to thin it. N learn how to make wispy bangs too. Do you think using permanent black or dark grey markers to root areas would give it dimension n add some fun ? The color swatches online are really not accurate. 🙏🕊️ peace n harmony
