If your human hair wig does not dye, it could be because the wig has undergone a special color treatment, commonly known as "color pressing." Color pressing is a factory technique used to uniformly dye lower-quality, unevenly colored hair into dark colors, such as black. Since this color is pressed on, the wig may fade in water or during daily washing, causing the water to turn black or cloudy. Moreover, once the color-pressed wig fades, it will revert to its original mottled color, resulting in uneven shades, making it difficult to dye again, especially light colors, which are almost impossible to take[1].
To avoid purchasing such wigs, you can follow these steps for identification:
- Observe the color distribution of the wig. Color-pressed wigs often have uneven shades from top to bottom, while normal wigs have darker color at the top and slightly yellowish at the bottom.
- Soak the wig in water. If the color comes off and the water turns black or cloudy, it might be a color-pressed wig.
- Pay attention to the color change after the wig fades. If the faded color is uneven, it could be a color-pressed wig.
- If the seller explicitly states that the wig has been factory-treated and cannot be dyed a second time, this usually means it is a color-pressed wig, and caution should be exercised when considering a purchase[1].
When buying a wig, it is recommended to choose reputable brands and try on the wig in person to ensure its quality and fit. If possible, visit a physical store to experience the wig, allowing for a more accurate assessment of its quality and style.
