Thank you Michele. This was great! If the color does stain in a good way, I wouldn’t mind after doing all the work. This looks like a good option for a few of my wigs!
Dear Michelle, I am adding lowlights and root with copic-markers. I find it easier to control the appliance of color with the marker than with a spray (I also experimented with spray) and you have a lot more color-options with copics. Or you mix the tecniques and color the root with copic and add your lowlights with the spray. But after all you did a great job seen the outcome 😃👌 Greetings Isa
Thanks so much for your comment!😀💖 I'm glad to hear that you found a method that works for you. I don't recommend using Copic markers because I have heard that these markers can damage wigs.
I’ve been using L’Oréal/Clairol root spray to create lighter roots (8 roots look unnaturally dark on me)- do you think the Jon Reneau spray is any less tacky? The one downside is the sticky feel and the shaded fingertips after I touch the fibers too much. Thanks for your videos! You’ve helped me so much❤
You are very welcome, I'm so glad to hear that you find my videos helpful!😀 I would say the Jon Renau Blend & Build root spray feels tacky/sticky like the L'Oreal Magic Root Cover Up Spray. 💖
I am amazed! Great job. Your video was so helpful. Can you tell me if you wanted to put highlights in a medium brown how to do that and is it even possible? Also, where can I get a sturdy stand for my clamp canvas wig head? Your voice is so engaging. Big fan!
Thanks, I'm so glad to hear that you found my video helpful!😊 Yes, you could add highlights using this same method. If you are looking for a tripod for your canvas block head, here is a link to the one I use - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011NW72UO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Thanks for watching!💖
You're very welcome!😊💖 Yes, I think this root spray did affect the movement (a bit) and definitely the feel of these fibers. It makes the fibers feel tacky/sticky/grimy just like other root sprays...
It probably would. I have never done that. I think the trick with that is getting the color just right. Have you tried using some root powder? If you do get the root spray, I would definitely test it on the underside of your wig first.💖
Right?!?😊 I think this JR root spray did affect the movement (a bit) and definitely the feel of these fibers. It makes the fibers feel sticky/grimy just like other root sprays...
I’ve found that I need something slightly thicker than the rat tail comb, I’ve found the long white tube that comes with some new wigs is perfect. It’s round so the spray still settles around the tube but the underneath section is very well protected. But I’m not liking the tackiness of sprays, so I use either root powder or permanent marker pens. Does this spray feel tacky to you?
Thanks so much for sharing this tip!😀 Yes, this spray does feel tacky. I think root powder is a good alternative. I have heard that furniture markers/permanent markers can damage wigs, so I do not feel comfortable recommending them. Have you had a good experience with them?💖
@@micheleswigreviews I’ve used furniture markers only, that was probably 12 months ago, but I haven’t washed any of the wigs since then, (I don’t wear them every day and I have lots now). I’ll be curious to see if it washes out or runs? What damage would I be looking for? (I’ve just realised that it’s 2 years since I rooted them!)
@@micheleswigreviews I’m wondering if the markers change colour after a while? Go orange or green or something? I know that on a lace front and a mono top you need to be very careful not to get the market on the lace. But when rooting a basic open wefted cap I deliberately colour the wefts, especially if there doesn’t seem to be enough coverage. Too low density.
@@Jillybeans140 I don't know if fibers colored with markers will change color over time. I agree that you want to be careful not to color the monofilament or lace front. I often use an eyeliner pencil to make any sparse areas near the part line look a bit more dense...👍💖
Thank you so much for this in depth review and technique. Made the mistake of rooting a light colored wig with loreal and like the look I achieved but there were several pitfalls with my inexperience! It did transfer to other areas and turned the fibers ashy. Washing it was a disaster. I wonder if turning upside down and pre rinsing the spray out of the top and crown would have made a difference. It was not an expensive wig, nor lace or mono thank goodness. The rat tail comb andpaper trick is a good one. Jesse Simmons I think also sprayed with dry shampoo (on top of the paper) to set the lowlights. Haven't tried that to see if it keeps it from transferring or makes it easier to wash out.
You're very welcome!👍I can only speak about this root spray based on the testing I did. Also, regarding creating lowlights with dry shampoo, have you heard about the recall of some aerosolized dry shampoos? Here is a link to an article for your information - www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/unilever-issues-voluntary-us-recall-select-dry-shampoos-due-potential-presence-benzene. It's my understanding that even brands that are not on this list may be problematic. At this point and until we know more, I would suggest using a dry shampoo powder instead of a spray. 💖
Great job! It looks absolutely so natural. Thanks for explaining everything so well. 👏🏻

Your videos really are invaluable for learning how to do different things with wigs! You're a great teacher!
Aww, thanks so much for your kind words!😊 That's a wonderful compliment!💖
Thanks! Using the rat tail comb is a game changer!
You're very welcome!😀 I agree - it was really important to me to find a good solution for protecting the mono part!👍💖
Thank you so much for the tip about trying it underneath first! 😊
You're very welcome!👍💖
Great job and detailed explanation, very natural looking

Hi Michele, this was so helpful! I tend to use the L'oreal spray and I look forward to trying one that's made for synthetic fibers.
Hi! I'm so glad to hear that you found my video helpful!😊💖
I’d like to see it after washing!
I did wash the test spots...👍
Michele, your videos are so unique and helpful! Thank you so much for all your hard work making this video! Does it change the texture of the fibers?
Thanks so much, Pam - that means a lot!😊💖 Yes, this root spray does make the fibers feel a bit grimy.
Yes it works like Magic touch root spray I used to use I know use root powder it washes off easier. Very good demo thank you 👍
You are very welcome!😊 I like using root powder to blend my bio hair with my wigs sometimes.👍 Have a great weekend!💖

Does wig root spray affect movement & feel of wig fibers? Thank you for these tutorials too 😊
You're very welcome!😊💖 Yes, I think this root spray did affect the movement (a bit) and definitely the feel of these fibers. It makes the fibers feel tacky/sticky/grimy just like other root sprays...
Any ideas on highlighting a wig????
I think the process is pretty similar, just with a lighter root spray.👍💖
Can I use spray to highlite a dark brown wig?
Yes, you can!👍 I would just follow the recommendations in this video.💖
Do you think this spray would work to lighten a too dark rooting on a synthetic?
It probably would. I have never done that. I think the trick with that is getting the color just right. Have you tried using some root powder? If you do get the root spray, I would definitely test it on the underside of your wig first.💖
That looks SOOOOOOO much better!!! I really like the lowlights. Does it feel stiff where you sprayed it?

@@Jillybeans140 I don't know exactly what kind of damage is involved, I simply heard that some wig wearers have ruined their wigs with markers.

Thanks so much!😊 I'm a complete novice at this so I was nervous...😅💖
AWESOME!!!!!! Does it make the hair feel dirty? Some root sprays do! Great job!!!!!!! Especially for us wanna be's!!!
