Has anyone ever done it? O:
Basically, I'll be dying this white wig to amaranth for Karin from Naruto.
I'm excited.
I read a lot about different methods but found pretty much the perfect shade ( a " raspberry pink " & " mango orange " mix ) on Katie Bair's site with her virtual mixing chart for her wig dye, but I'd be looking at probably over $100 for it.
I don't really want to have a wig for cosplay that I can say I spent $150 for. -.-;
If it was amazingly amazing and extravagant than mayybee, but it's just Karin. ;P
SO, I'm going for the sharpie or FW ink way. ( probably the sharpie because I know for a fact that there are like a bazillion different colors for sharpies at this one craft store and I don't know about the FW ink... )
Anyone have any personal experience or advice about dying a wig with either method? |

I haven't dyed a wig (yet), but I know how to straighten them :3
But anyways, I dunno what FW ink is, so maybe you should go with sharpies, since you are more comfortable with those. It might help if you looked up some tutorials. I'll post some when I run into any

Yeah, I've never heard of FW ink either. D:
But I've only looked for plain black India ink..
Ok! I looked a little, but most are pretty basic or just a 'FAQ'...
and me being me who likes to over-complicate and overthink things.. 9:
I should be ok~ |

This has nothing to do with dying the wig but just a question; do you already have said wig, or are you going to order it and just can't find a wig in the right color?
