UPDATE: please check out my friend Cynthia's video on the low-lighted Mia on her channel Front Porch Wig Chat to find out her impression of the low lights on this piece and how realistic they look. • Funny Story & Couple O...
Knowing how to make a wig your own is a super valuable skill to have if you want to have the maximum flexibility in your wig journey. Sometimes you find a SCREAMING deal on a wig that isn't exactly perfect for you. If you know how to modify a wig then you will be able to take advantage of great deals and no longer at the mercy of the marketplace. Watch me take a blonde wig and darken it to suit my preference.... and see what a HUGE difference it makes in a side by side comparison.
The wig used in this video is Tressallure Mia in the color Velvet Cream.
This is the marker I use in the video: amzn.to/36th4ov
These are other markers that I have used and like: amzn.to/2SrLF1X

UPDATE: today I got brave and did it.....I used the furniture markers I had purchased from Amazon a while back. I used it on my cheapo Amazon wig - it had what I thought were blonde highlights on top, but there were gray (white, really). There was a LOT of it. So I sat here watching RU-vid videos while I “colored” my hair. I used several of the colors trying to find the one I like and I have to tell you: it turned out AMAZING!! You absolutely cannot tell at all. I left just a couple of the white highlight here and there and with the various different markers I used, it gave the wig more depth and highlights. The highlights are not very noticeable, but I just can’t get over how great it looks! And soooo easy (it took me about an hour - a relaxing hour). Thank you SO much for this info!! I had watched this video when it first came out but was too afraid to try it. Thank you.

Here’s a tip for your silver ladies. I bought the Arteza alcohol markers in the grayscale, only $20 for 36 markers. They are beautiful and make customizing my wigs so easy! There are warm grays, cool grays, neutral grays, yellow, blue and green grays. The caps make it easy to hold the color next to the hair and you can test fine pieces on the underside of the wig. I just finished a wig that was originally a pale blonde with an apricot hue to it. I am cool colored so it wasn’t going to work for me. I used the caps to find the right gray and chose warm. I had 9 colors to choose from that I worked through the wig. I even flipped it over and used some of the darker tones underneath for some depth. By the time I finished I had a gorgeous custom made wig! Now the apricot is throughout the wig and the entire wig is a sandy gray with kisses of apricot. I am a dark brunette/gray but with the right makeup I can not wait to wear this. I used a styrofoam head on a post and sometime just held the head between my knees to see down the part. Sometimes I pulled out small sections and sometimes just a few wisps. Sometimes I colored all the way down the fiber and sometimes I faded it out. All in all, it was a total blast! And now I have my own one of a kind beauty. Have fun. Take it slow. Stop often and step back. God bless.😮

It is AMAZINGLY realistic, would not even know it had been altered (and I didn't, even looking closely, wow)! This color is really different from straight to wavy to curly and from unit to unit. If doing this makes a wig more wearable for someone, it can save some $$$, for sure!

I’m a natural light ash blonde shot through with white (seems like more white every week lol), and I’m frustrated by the few non-rooted blonde colors available in toppers these days.I’ve used white hair spray paint to cover dark roots and it looks decent- like I have light graying roots. It takes away the shine so the hair actually looks more natural. I brush some blonde hair powder here and there over white spray painted roots and it pulls everything together. I may try adding white highlights using the white hair spray paint.I do it in the shower to keep from getting spray everywhere. The painted hair is just a bit stiffer, like it’s been hair sprayed. I don’t like the too-yellow blonde spray-on root covers available, and I’ve tried many. I’ve used light taupe Copic markers in the past to add pale ashy shadow rooting to platinum blonde toppers- worked great! My next project will be toning a too- warm topper to get it more ash in tone, using Rit dye and alcohol, per some RU-vid videos. Wish me luck!

The one you colored is beautiful! I’ve got a pale blonde, short haired wig that I would love to do this to. I’m a little hesitant about it because I paid $175 for it at a wig store and it was not returnable. At the time I thought I would like the color. But I don’t and I rarely wear it. Maybe I will get brave enough to try this technique. Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was really helpful and well explained.

So good. Love the instructions. I bought a set of Copic markers and a 'natures colors" tans and brown Sharpie set. First project is trying to permanently lighten the wefts of a wig. The hair is light ashy blonde but the wig was made with a really dark cap and the wefts show horribly! I complained to the small midwest wig company and they don't take returns and saw nothing wrong with a dark cap for a light blonde wig. Your video has given me confidence to tackle this task because I can't in good conscience sell this wig to anyone else (at $80+ it was the most I've paid for a wig).

Copic markers are fantastic!!! I made highlights & low lights on my light blonde wig. Looks perfect!!! It does not change the texture of your wig fibers like root touch up does
@susanncarlson6708
@susanncarlson6708 7 месяцев назад
Copic markers are alcohol markers used with paper crafting. (1000s+ RU-vid videos). There are many colors available as sets, especially "skin tones" which are tans and browns. If you over color the wig hair, it might be possible to remove some of the color using straight isopropyl alcohol applied using a cotton ball on synthetic wigs? Also, there are permanent alcohol ink pads which could allow for an application technique similar to frosting or highlighting bio hair, with an ink barrier such as aluminum foil. Sharpie markers are also alcohol ink based. I use Hulu markers from Amazon online. Because of the range of colors (100s!) it is possible to have fun adding wild colors to platinum wigs for parties, celebrations, and cosplay wigs, always applying colors to light, not dark, synthetic wigs.

It totally washed me out. I bought the same Copic marker - Dark Bark, & I set out for what I expected to be an hours-long event. I was finished in 15 minutes and Kendall looks amazing now. Thanks for saving me from another wig mistake. :)

The wig is now a lighter brown and looks so much better on me! Thank-you!

TOTALLY! For me this has been a game changer and has opened up the world of wigs even wider... now I am not afraid to get a color that isn't perfect if I find it on sale because I know I can add darker roots and lowlights to it no problem. It doesn't work perfectly on ALL colors, but so far it has been good enough for me.

Thanks so much for this, Denise! I'm going to buy a Copic marker tomorrow. I have worked with the furniture markers on one of my Paula Young wigs, and although successful in the beginning, I was not happy with the color it turned when I washed it. I'm going to try the Copic over those sections. I think this is a great technique, especially if you have a too light wig that is non-returnable. ~Jill in SoCal

You really have amazing and interesting content! What a great idea this is. I just went thru this with a topper and I used the root spray. It worked, but it did leave the hair a bit heavier. So then I added dry shampoo to lighten the fibers back up. But like you said before, The more you put in, the shorter the wear time in the long run. You end up washing it more, and it wears out! Thanks Denise, you are so creative! Blessings, Lynda
@heywigsister
@heywigsister Год назад
I really don't like how root spray weighs the hair down and changes the texture, and I've found it doesn't wash out very easily (or at all in some cases)... what I love about the markers is that they do not change the hair texture AT ALL or weigh it down. I'm planning an updated video showing other colors and even FUN colors that can take an older blonde wig up a level.

Every time I watch this, I’m blown away! The last time I saw it, I went on Amazon and got furniture markers but haven’t used them yet. So the other day I bought a wig on Amazon (Wiginway, which is usually not bad) and I received it today. It was just under $20 so I wasn’t expecting much. Oh my gosh....it is the CUTEST wig! I absolutely love it except for one thing: the little bit of highlighting on top. I think it was supposed to be dark blonde (rest of the wig is med brown) but it is gray. Although still really cute anyway, I know I would get teased mercilessly by the grandkids. So I’m going to get out those markers and color that gray away! I might even try it on some other wigs I don’t wear because they’re too light. Wish me luck....

I recently purchased Pam by Noriko in Marble Brown. I purchased it through a salon in Florida. The more I put it on I dislike how light it is. I am normally use to Drew by Noriko in Iced Mocha-R. I am thinking I could put low lights in and that would darken it. How do you decide what color mark to get? Do you have a suggestion as to what color I should get?

Thanks to you I made my Innuendo rooted and with low lights, she was to brassy for my taste but I love the cut and the fibers, she is a lot darker with some highlights, a dark brown root and it did not take me a lot of time...you did an mazing job, keep teaching us please.

I know this is an older video, but hopefully you'll see my question. I have a white synthetic wig because my natural hair was turning white before I lost it. I had a human hair wig that matched my original dark hair perfectly (I actually bought it several years ago from your friend Sherry because I live about 30" from her), but I've lost my eyebrows, so the darker color is too stark. I'm just wondering if I should try starting with a blond low light and work my way up to a medium/dark brown low light, just because I'm working with a white wig. My natural color was very dark (my profile picture), so maybe the darker brown might be okay? Thank you so much for your channel. I wish I'd had it 5 years ago when this all started. I'm still struggling with wearing wigs and mainly stick to baseball caps but I'm trying some of your suggestions to see if I can get used to them. The hardest part is that my neighbors and friends have all gotten used to seeing me in a baseball cap so I feel self-conscious suddenly having hair, LOL.

Hi, Eileen! I haven't really tried highlighting with a red yet... my only fear is that it would be hard to predict how the color will come out on the wig. If you find something please let me know and if I find something I will FOR SURE share it!

The only way I know to add a light color to a dark wig is to use a light root spray... Loreal makes different color Root Sprays (meant for covering up gray regrowth between hair colors) in a blonde shade, I have heard of people using that.

I had been using furniture markers prior to this and a wig sister recommended this particular Copic marker so I thought I would give it a try. I really think they work equally as well so when people ask me about colors I usually recommend furniture markers because they come in a multipack and so you can more easier test the colors to find the right one (just test on lower layers that don't show). This is the pack I have: amzn.to/3dvF5UN

@heywigsister

You can't lighten synthetic wigs. If you just want to lighten rooting, you can use a blonde root powder and that will cover it up just a little bit. But to lighten an entire wig that is not possible.
@cherylj7460

Denise, not all furniture markers are created equal. Some run when washed. The Copic, or any alcohol marker is very permanent. Have you found this over time? As you say, there may be fading, but with the alcohol, the wash water is not discolored. I want to darken a JR 14/26/10. I just don’t know if should give it a base color with rit dye. Any ideas? I love your deeper Mia! Oh, when you’re marking curls, I found that the cardboard paper towel roll is perfect to wrap the curls over and then hold down to color.
@heywigsister
@heywigsister 2 года назад
Well that is new information to me so THANK YOU!! I have not had any issues with them at all, but I haven't rooted that many wigs. I did notice, though, that when I washed a wig that I had rooted with a Copic marker the water wasn't as dark as I expected... I had no idea that it would not be because of the base of the marker. I LOVE the cardboard roll tip... gosh you have given me so much good information!! As for your question about RIT dye... I have not tried using that before but I believe Rachel from Rachel's Wig reform has... I would think that if you want to make a significant overall change then that would be the way to go. Good luck!!

@reginahay5211 Год назад
I'm wondering about another possible application, similar to the alcohol/rit. As a crafter of many years I'm very familiar with Comics and other alcohol based markers. You can pull the dye out of the marker by just soaking the marker in alcohol. You can also buy reinkers for any brand of alcohol markers I think using the alcohol ink in a spray bottle in layers would definitely work. I'm going to try it soon in a blond I got from Amazon.
@reginahay5211

Unfortunately you can't make synthetic fibers lighter with a marker, it just doesn't show up. You could try some root touch up powder, but that is only a temporary fix. Here is a video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R-TrF2Y3pTQ.htmlsi=lVBUI5gXrq-58f-h

You can't really add lighter on top of dark easily when it comes to synthetic. I think it would work better to start with gray and then ads lowlights with a darker color.

Hi Denise! I bought two Copic markers -- one brown and another copper -- to put some low lights into a very blonde (Color # 613) Bobbi Boss wig. I just finished it, and it turned out beautiful!!! I am so happy with it!!!! Does anyone know if the Copic markers are permanent on synthetic hair? I read that they are permanent, but I was wondering if anyone reading this has washed a wig that they have put Copic low lights into? Anyway, Denise, thank you so much for making this video!
