Lightening synthetic

[wvpumpkin]

Is there any way to lighten a synthetic wig, just a bit? What would I use and where can I buy what I need to do it with??

Hmm. Synthetic hair fibres (esp Kanekalon) are extremely color fast. A lot of times, the pigments in plastic are chemically bound to the polymer/monomer. Since synthetically derived pigments are composed chemically different than melanin, it is not going to be the same process.

The only thing I know that can partially destroy the pigment is industrial strength Hydrogen Peroxide, and they don't even sell it that concentrated to the general public or hairstylists.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.

That is what I figured. Oh well, thanks for letting me know. I will just have to buy another piece.
