How do u get the color to stop bleeding??? I did crimson red on my blonde/red synthetic unit and as i was styling my hands and everything was stained!!! I feel like the color came off the wig too. What did i do wrong?
Red is always problematic, regardless of the method or dye you use just because the pigments are so strong. All I can suggest is to keep rinsing until there is no rub-off when wiped with a damp paper towel. Depending on the type of fiber you dye, iPoly will be more or less effective. For instance, wigs and toppers made from Polyester will not accept as much color as ones made from Toyokalon.
If you're just misting it on and letting it dry, the alcohol won't have much effect. But if you're putting it on heavily, or continuing to comb or run your fingers through with a heavy coat of wet hairspray on it, you will notice rub-off.
Yes you sure can! However, part of the reason for hanging it upside down is to allow any dye that is still mobile to settle in one spot. If you blow dry it flat, you will have residue distributed more randomly throughout your piece.
This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you so much! Extremely helpful!! 😁🦄🌈
Can you spray this on rather then dipping it.
Thank you! Just tried it down from wig cap to mid ends with an ombre! I will post back on how it worked out!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

so you're saying that alcohol makes this dye run? a.k.a. hairspray cannot be used on it?

Question- does it bleed when you dip the ends in hot water after braiding? Thanks
Can you dry it with a blow dryer
