I use furniture touch up markers to add lowlights and rooting to wigs that are a bit too light in color for me all the time. I have never had an issue with doing this nor have I ever had it damage a wig in any way.
It does wash out a little bit when you wash the wig, but not fully... so keep that in mind. These are the furniture markers I use: amzn.to/2SrLF1X

Recently found your channel and so thrilled I did! Even though I’ve worn wigs for a couple years, I lacked the confidence to alter them to make them my own. You have given me the boost I needed to give it a try! Thanks!
Hi!! I'm so glad it was helpful! ❤
Im wanting to root & lowlight my light blonde wigs, what color furniture marker color should I use? I dont want it to look red. I want a nice medium brown or a hint lighter
Denise, this is a game changer! I cannot believe that's something this simple and easy could transform a wig this way. Thank you for sharing!
Happy Thanksgiving, Denise! My question is which you suggest for low lighting wigs? Furniture touch up markers or Copic markers? I am very interested also on your experience of any color bleeding during wig wash and also what the texture is after doing the amazing low lights? I have watched & rewatched your tutorials and so very thankful for YOU & following your journey, experience, experimentation and enjoying the beauty of wigging UP! I thank you so much for you input.
Tried the furniture pen method on my wig and worked like a charm!!! I covered the wide blonde streaks that I didn’t like and now it has warm brown shades all over, thanks Denise 😍😍😍
I'm so glad to hear this! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Denise,
Just came across some of your videos and was excited to see your method using furniture markers . I'm also excited to see that you are a sister in Christ. I pray that God will bless you and prosper you in all you do for His glory 🙏✝️.
I do have a question, do you think the marker method will work on a dark brown synthetic wig to give light/medium brown chunky highlights?
Thank you for sharing!
I have so many wigs with the wrong coloring 613 wigs. Thanks i I am at the store now buying the markers to try.
You ALWAYS look GORGEOUS, Denise! Your the BEST!
Siempre quise hacer algo con el rooted de mis pelucas en champagne y poner el rooted mas oscuro
I just want to make everyone aware that using the furniture markers on really blonde hair to create a root can turn the roots green. I have experienced this myself. Just be careful and I just thought I would throw that out there. I don’t think it would matter if you’re doing it on dark hair but on blonde hair it really shows. I am going to try a dark brown sharpie!
This is great, thank you for this!!! I did do rooting on a blonde wig in my Tressallure Mia video... not sure if that one is considered REALLY blonde, but on that one I used Copic marker and not furniture markers. I don't really know if there is a significant difference between them.
What color Copic markers did you use? I used an alcohol marker in "chocolate" & made the light blonde wig red:-( I did remove tge red color by swishing it around in rubbing alcohol in my sink. But I want a medium to darkbrown root. What color do I need to buy?
Do they have dark brown sharpies? I've only seen them in black.Please let me know how it turns out
Hi Denise! coming to your channel quite late but hope you can help...I'd like to LIGHTEN dark brown and almost black rooting on grey/silver wigs. So far, I have regular synthetic only, but am keen to try Belle Tress Morning Storm( Heat Friendly) but roots look very dark. If I were reasonably confident that I could "fix" or break up the dark rooting by adding some ? white? or silver tones I would go for it.
Hi, Lily! Here is a video I did on this... you can only slightly lighten a dark root on a synthetic wig, here is how: ruclips.net/video/R-TrF2Y3pTQ/видео.html
The coloring/rooting made such a difference. If you have natural dark hair, the rooting really helps you make the transition to lighter colors. Thanks!
I agree!
Yes, the difference was very obvious! Wow, I think think this is a better idea than using any type of power that could blow away or even fall in your face! And you can paint where you want the rooting.
Hi Denise
Love your videos.
I am.wanting to darken a light blonde synthetic wig.
Will the Copic marker fade or wash out over time?
Would you show the technique of adding roots to a non-mono synthetic wig (no part) in a GREY/Silver/White to (hopefully) camouflage the base? THANK YOU!
I did a video on using permanent markers to add rooting, I've been looking for rooting videos n so glad to have found yours! I just think it makes them to look more natural.
I agree, they help so much!! I have another one as well: ruclips.net/video/V6_e_mFhiUo/видео.html
Your creativity is awesome! Wow! What color do you recommend for lowlighting golden blonde?
Hi Denise, I know this is an old video but I’m hoping you get alerts when someone asks a question. Does the furniture marker work on heat friendly fibers and also human hair?
I love your videos, very informative. I have a short wig "brown w/10% gray", non heat defiant. I HATE the color, cannot be returned. Do you think I can use several shades of furniture markers on it? I hesitate to try Rit dye for synthetic fibers since that requires boiling water, would probably ruin it. What do you think?
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Could I use a copic marker to make a part in a basic cap wig? What color would I need to get?
Wish I had found your video before I got rid of my biscuit wig
What's nice about getting a variety pack of markers is you can draw roots in complimentary colors, like mahogany on a light reddish brown, or walnut on a light golden brown. Gives you some good options.
My thoughts exactly!!
Wow! I’ve seen a lot of different ways to root a wig.. but this is what I’d feel comfortable trying! Thank you for sharing this!
I'm so glad it was helpful! I will warn you, though, I did try this on a blonde wig and it didn't work so well. I think the more dramatic the contrast between the marker and the wig the harder it is to get it to look natural. It has worked great on wigs where I just wanted the rooting to be subtle, though. :) I show the "fail" if you well in my Estetica Finn video.
I have a wig I like as far as the style of it (Farrah) only I am not happy with the color. The color is Honey wheat. Couldn't find it in the color I like on me so I went for this color. Tried to like it and just feel the color is drab! Its a cool light brown with a dark blonde highlights. I'd like to know is there anyway I can bring this wheat color to a more vibrant, thinking of adding some caramel or copper red in it for low lights. I may try the cherry or mahogany colored markers on a few stands under the inside to test.I just think it needs a lift in color.
Unfortunately, lightening a synthetic wig with markers doesn't work... the only way to make it lighter is to strip color, which you can't do with these fibers. All you can do is add color with markers. I'm so sorry!
Hi. Can you add high lites instead of rooting? I have a beautiful wig but she needs lighter color around my face. Thank you
There really is no good way to add highlights to a synthetic wig. I am working on testing out some of the sprays out there but so far have not had much success.
What about rooting the cap like rooting is when you get a rooted wig. I need the dark roots as base color is light brown and the highlights are golden and lighter blonde
I think you can definitely color the cap as well....
Great info. Thank you.
Sure!!
Thank you for this! I’m going to try this.
Would love to hear how it goes!
Hi. Can you do the same thing to add blonde highlights to a brown wig?
No, not with markers. You can cover dark fibers that way... but you can cover up dark rooting with light root powder.. here is a video on that: ruclips.net/video/R-TrF2Y3pTQ/видео.html
Hi Denise.. Thank you for this video. Any idea which color of marker would be good to tone down the brassy looking highlights in the Tressallure Sunset Glow. I recently purchased an Avery and love the style .
Thank you Denise, this is really helpful! I have just bought a red in 30/28/26. it doesn’t have enough dimension for me but I’m kind of afraid to use the darker colors on the rooting since this is a light red shade. Have you ever used them on that light of a color?
Absolutely love your videos and what you share, and your lovely warm personality! :)
Gosh, THANK YOU so much, Rosalie!!
She’s adorable init
Hi Denise I have a question. I just bought a wig from Paula Young called Arizona! She’s super cute but I have one problem. I ordered buttered toast because I have Jamie Lynn in that color and when I got it found it to be way too blond for me! I realize now my Jamie Lynn is butter toast rooted!! My question is would you try to root it? Or should I send it back and get honey and root that color this would be the third time I returned a wig to them!!
Great question.... will it cost you anything to return it and do you like that other color just as much? If it won't cost you anything and you like the other color then I would probably return. Rooting works great, but it does fade when washed so it might be better to just get a rooted one if you can.
I think honey is a bit more golden but it’s so hard to tell! This is so shiny and looks almost platinum I need the dark contrast because that’s what my hair is now! I will probably have to just get my money back! This does not come in rooted colors unfortunately they subtract the shipping charge (9.95) when you send it back even if you exchange!!
Hi Girl
This wig is really pretty on you! Thanks for sharing your info. So sweet, Sending love! Happy Mardi Gras!!!!!
Same to you! Thank you!
Hi, Denise. Did you end up liking the Copic markers better than those furniture markers?
Honestly, I think they both work similar enough that it doesn't matter which you use.
Thanks so very much for your helpful advice and you just being you🌸
Oh, thank you so much! Hugs!
I didn't see the description and I was trying to figure out what you could be using, and that was when I thought about my furniture markers 😆
Exactly!! They work great!
I love the Belle Tress wig on you and have been looking for a straight style like it. Would have bought (enthusiastically) until you said the wig is big. I have a 21" circumference, so you saved me from grief and another return .Do you wear another straight wig that is made for a smaller heard? I need to find one. Thank you for the rooting lesson.
Oh yes... Belle Tress is definitely on the larger side of average for sure.
Any suggestions on how to re style Scarlet by Jon Renau? Maybe one of your viewers knows. The only time I ordered two same style was this style. I cannot get this wig to look enough to wear. Also what group can I join with wigs sisters to buy and sell wigs. I really learn something every time I watch your and other utubes. Thanks for sharing all your tips. I'm new to wearing wigs . Started three months ago .
I had scarlett and she looked terrible. I never could make her work. I think what you do depends on what you are looking for. Could she be a headband wig? Does she need thinning? There are quite a few options so hard to answer without knowing what you don't like and are looking for. As for groups to buy and sell.... search for Flip Your Wig on Facebook. That's a good one. Thanks for watching and if you have other questions please let me know!
Wow, that is a brilliant idea, love a few low lights and rooted wigs..thank you, thank you, you are so brave...like Fran I also love the straight one on you, they all look lovely but the straight has a "something" else, you look like you are 17..thank you for that tutorial.
You bet! I just did it again with another wig and will be sharing that video soon!
Stiff thin paintbrush would give a nice effect too, prob more subtle than pen ? Still great idea
oooh, cool idea!
Amazing idea! I have just received a Festa Deluxe by Ellen Wille colour Mocca lighted, the colour is overall lovely but I had not idea it has big lighted wide streaks on the front! I could try to tone them down a bit without running big risks 😉
Oh totally! That would be the perfect use of these markers!
Thank you thank you thank you. I tried this with a cheap Paula Young, who has NOT so many colors and not so good quality, but less hair for a cooler wig. It worked great. I love that wig on you!
Thank you, Linda! So good to hear you had success too!
Hi Denise... thanks so much for this tip!! Would you have any reservations about trying this on HD fibers? Thanks again!!!
None whatsoever.... I only have 1 HD wig so far and she already has really dark rooting so I can't test it, but I can't imagine it being a problem
Great idea Denise and can't wait to try it! Have you figured out a way to do blonde HIGHlights?
No, but I really do need to see if that is possible- that would be awesome!
Happy Mother’s Day you are truly a beautiful person, with a kind and generous spirit and hope your day is good to you!
Thank you and Happy Mother's Day to you as well!
Can you do the same rooting and lowlights on straight wigs?
I would imagine so- I haven't tried it but I cannot see why not.
This is super helpful Denise. Thank you!
So glad!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I definitely will give this a try on a recent wig I received which I think will make a huge difference in how it looks.
It totally will! I wore Girl Mono today and kept trying to figure out why she looked so different on me. Suddenly I realized that the markers had washed out quite a bit the last time I washed her and I need to touch her up lol. While they do not wash completely out, they do wash out a little and so you will need to plan to touch her up some here and there.
Has it ever bled into the cap on you?
No, but since I wear brunette color the caps are usually darker.... that said, I am careful to get it only on the fibers. The "ink" or whatever material is used in these markers isn't very liquidy so that helps to keep it from dripping or spreading as well.
straight styles become you :)
Thanks, Linda!
Thank you. Good video. 💋
Thanks, Vicky!
I have an Innuendo by Gabor, love the style but no rooting, I am going to try this, she is a straight wig so I must be careful since there are no curls if I make a mistake...fingers crossed, I have not been using it because I prefer roots on wigs but I am going to dive in...wish me luck :)...thanks for the video
Please let me know how it goes! I actually had a dream about rooting a wig last night. Lol
@@heywigsister I did it, furniture markers like you show on the video, it came out very nicely if I may say so, lesson learned, I prefer rooted hair but this one has been "saved" not only I made her with a dark root but also did low lights, it was a bit yellowish for my taste so with a walnut shade I gave her tons of low lights, I think I found a new job, lol...thanks for the tutorial, could not have made it without you
I have just discovered this wig and it looks beautiful. I am now a new subscriber. One question on Girl Mono, can you sweep the bangs to the left at all cause I am a left part girl and I notice you have it right parted.
I have searched for a wig to love and this is a winner
Hi, Mary! Thank you for the compliment! Girl Mono actually is a left side part so I'm guessing it is how my camera saves the image that is making it look like it is parted on the right.... every wig I own that is a mono PART is a left side mono part. The part is on the left and the hair goes to the right.... hope that helps.
Thank you for that
Oh my gosh, I love that straight style on you!
Thanks, Fran!! I will admit straight styles are not my typical go to, but I'm so glad to have a few so I can change it up! :)
I wAs using a felt eyeliner pen and then just grabbed my husband Sharpie, but this is a great idea too! I also see that there are fabric markers and acrylic paint pens available as well. I'm going to try the paint pens next! Thank u!
That sounds interesting. Let me know how it goes!
@@heywigsister I found some at WalMart. Will try them out next week :0)
@@EmpressLestat I want to know how they worked, Michelle!!!! I’ve done the furniture markers but the ink bleeds on your hands so I fear they it will bleed onto my clothes, etc. EEK!!!
They will make your wig stiff. I used one to try to make a part in my basic cap wig. It made it stiff at the part
You make it look so easy. Your wig looks natural with that front lace
Roots makes a wig so much more natural
I 100% agree!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing. I bought a blond wig but it needs to have lowlights for sure. Is the product non toxic?
Hi, Jillian. The product doesn't really say anything so I'm not sure.
Denise Sheets if it doesn’t have the scull and crossbones it’s probably ok :)
@@gillianlee8514 lol good to know! No scull and crossbones so we are good!
Art supply stores have an amazing array of colors of permanent markers to root blonde wigs. My natural color is a lt/med. ash blonde, and I found perfect colors to make my wigs and toppers blend better with my hair!
Hi Denise! I always love your videos! I have tried rooting on my Wigs after I saw you do this, Thank you so very much! So I have tried using black sharpies and also had furniture polish pens on hand to use also if I want different colors. I love the way they all work. I have a question, have you ever tried fabric paint? I’m thinking of black fabric paint so that I can use it in the underneath layers the back the nape etc. and maybe it will go farther than my sharpies (that tend to dry out)?????
Hi!! Thank you! I haven't tried fabric paint and haven't really hear of anyone who has.... if you do try it I would love to hear how it works.
Denise Sheets I just thought if furniture polish stain would work perhaps fabric paint would also😆And yes I will let you know if I get around to trying it
Paint will make your wig stiff. I used a white paint pen to make a part on my basic cap. It made it stiff at the part
How do black permanent markers work on light blonde wigs?
@heywigsister it will make your wig stiff......been there:-( I used a white paint marker to make a part on my basic cap, it made it stiff at the part
The Belle Tress Lady Latte in Mocha Cream looks fabulous on you! (I love how easily you interchange between curly and straight!) The color is you! The way that wig is shaded compliments your eyes perfectly. Those of us with blue/green eyes can't do that. Well, we could, but at my age I shan't. :) Thanks for the tutorial; rooting is my next adventure on the wig journey.
Thank you so much, Julie! Good luck with the rooting!
Thank you Denise, I'll definitely give this a go - I just got the TOB Isla (we chatted about it in comments on one of your Isla reviews last night). I got it on closeout in the only color available, which is bronze. It needs some oomph and this should help!
Hi, Donna! I would love to see how the rooting and lowlighting goes on Isla.... thanks for letting me know!!
@@heywigsister I just tried it this evening! First I used mahogany, but that seemed to almost give a purplish tint. Then I used the black, and that worked very well to add the illusion of darker rooting. I want to get another Isla soon, but will be more discerning with the shade and color. My usual TOB color has been Rooted Sandstone, which is lovely. Might go a bit darker the next time around...we'll see. Have a great evening!
@@dwseamhead that's awesome! I usually use the black as well... seems to give the right rooting effect. So glad it worked!!
