The bloopers at the end XD

[@FennecFOX7181]

Yeah those are amazing!

[@SamiTheAnxiousBean]

Omg the jessie cosplay looks so cool in the background

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

Thank you so much!! This was what we dyed the wig for 😁

[@SamiTheAnxiousBean]

@@KinpatsuCosplay yeah I know! I just found it really cool just sitting there as the background ^-^

Omg this is how I dye my wigs! I hope everyone knows about this method because it's life saving

[@serenakujo8697]

Do I have to re-dye the wig after washing it or does the dye remain?

[@_VenomicA_]

@@serenakujo8697 it remains! I wash mine with cold water and shampoo

[@serenakujo8697]

@@_VenomicA_ Okay thank you!! I don't need to touch it up even after a few shampoos?

[@_VenomicA_]

@@serenakujo8697 well I don't wash my wigs often, but I think after some washes the alcohol dye roots can start to fade

[@serenakujo8697]

@@_VenomicA_ okay I see, thank you for the informations 🙏🏻

I've been looking for a way for my friend!! this will come in handy! THANK YOU!!

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

Glad to hear it!

[@Chrystalshrooms]

Thank you so much for the tutorial this is a great idea! I do believe that if you had those bangs in your face instead of glued back for jessie, though, you'd get that alcohol bleeding onto your face so keep that in mind too!

[@KatsyKat]

My mom: what are you cooking? Me: a wig

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

This happened yesterday to me 😂 Eric came in and asked " what are you cooking" Me : "shoe laces" 😂

[@ssnekky]

If I ever get a lacefront this will be so helpful

[@KatsyKat]

Your cosplays are so neat 🙀😻💚

[@ManiSoSweet]

If hairspray or alcohol-based products take off the permanent color, how did you manage to have such a sculpted up to without using spray?

[@KazzieBB]

this was so helpful! i bought a lacefront but the ombre stopped too high up for the character i needed it for, thank you!

[@mimik6414]

QUESTION! Can the root area of the wig be soaked in water first to ensure the dye will bleed into the roots more? Or will that also stain the lace??

[@magoria1382]

Hey! Please help, is this method permanent? 😮 Or does the copic markers come off when you wash it? 😅 I have only used rit dye before and I love it, but markers seems scary to me 😅 Awesome video though! 💕

[@stardust6861]

I like the Jessie cosplay from pokemon in the back! ♥

[@forevergwladys]

This was a great tutorial! Thank you!

[@originalkingdomhearts]

I plan to dye a wig for the first time and I'm a bit nervous. I'm trying to get a gradient look for my Alastor wig. Would you happen to have some tips to get the back of a wig to get more dye then the top parts?

[@mbettner7368]

the copic marker is a good tip, I used sharpie on a wig and the color would get onto my hand anytime I touched it

[@emelinepetitot618]

I bought a dark pink front lace wig for my Jessie but it arrived bright pink... Do you think I can get good results if I dye it ?

[@stupadbear]

Do you have any advice on how to dye just the lace part? I always use my wigs with very pale makeup (because they're all vampires), and it clashes with the lace. Thanks!

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

Unfortunately I don't have a way to dye the lace itself! But you could try apple a little makeup to the lace to help lighten it I think :) some lace also comes in very light colours too.

[@jasminesoyokaze]

Hi there. I didn't research before starting a craft and wasted 30 dollars of artic fox hair dye trying to color match my hair to my extensions. This color is the EXACT color I am looking for, do you remember approximate ratios for when you put the colors in the pot? If not, that's ok. Thanks for this video!

[@zauberhaftewinx]

Great tipp but obe question do i need an old Pot i don't use for cooking anymore or can i simply use a normal one and still use it for cooking food next time?

[@999sarie]

you don't want to use any pots or containers you will use for food to dye things. the dye can stain and stick to them so when you use it for food, you're eating the dye which is bad for you. hope that helps!

[@linupix5706]

Hi! I want to dye my wig with Powder dye, does it work? 😤🥰

[@JimBobCarrotsTop]

Where could I get a wig like this? I'm wanted to create a Darksiders Fury cosplay, and this wig would be a perfect base! :D UK based

[@amandinepastoret8398]

Hi kinpatsu , i'm belgian and i didn't find my haïr .... Where did tout buy your wig ? thanks ❤️

[@haitaniran5126]

Thx u for the information of the wig but what is the anime that u cosplayed ?

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

Pokemon 😁

[@haitaniran5126]

@@KinpatsuCosplay thank u 😊

[@mightirose]

Could this work with dying a baby pink wig lacefront to have navy streaks (actually, mostly navy with pink streaks)? I'm not sure if I should tie together the bits I want to remain pink and lower it like you did with the Jessie wig or not 😔 I hope this makes sense

[@DoomTactics]

This is awesome thank you!!!

what hair dye did you use

[@kurleykath.]

I wanna see a styling tutorial!😍

[@lemadame8199]

Quick question why is it a big deal if the lace gets dyed and also what is the difference between lace wigs and normal ones

[@AndySpry]

The lace is what gets trimmed and glued down on the hairline to give the illusion of real hair growing from the scalp. It's made to blend in with natural skin. Dyeing the lace would cause you to have a solid hairline. Lace front wigs are more expensive because they look more realistic. If you don't care about having a solid hairline, buy a hard front wig.

How todo Dino masks can you tell me?
