As long as the wig is 100 percent real hair, the answer is yes. As if
you were dying the hair on your head, you can use a simple depilatory
hair dye.
"Color-depositing" dye, often referred to as "semi-permanent" hair
color is the easiest and most effective way for beginners to learn how
to dye a wig, Sangita explains.
Adding color to blonde hair is easier enough for an amateur than trying
to lighten a darker wig, Sangita notes.

one listed below.

Instead of misting lightly, you want to coat the inside of the garment thoroughly and give it enough time to dry and set before dyeing.
Another option is to treat the laces with hair gel and let them dry.
If you're using the watercolor method, which involves simply
submerging the wig in a bucket of hot water mixed with just the dye,
these tips will come in handy (the more dye you add to the water, the
darker the color) Sangita recommends sprinkling sea salt into this
approach to help prevent fading.
If you wash off the color and remove the hairspray or hair gel, the
hairspray or hair gel will not stain your lace.

- Test the Strands: You should always do a test before applying any type of color treatment, as wigs (even blonde ones) don't all have the same color. Always test the back of the hair to determine what you're working with.
- Collect and apply the color: According to Sangita, if it's excessively runny, a whitening hair conditioner can be added to the color. Cover the narrow part in large, broad strokes so that there are no lines of demarcation. The brush should be gently pushed upwards to blend, but it should never be pressed once you reach the roots. When mixing the color-setting dye, Sangita suggests using a blush cosmetic brush to make sure you're not applying too much emphasis.
- Wait a few minutes, then wash off: Wash off with cold water and condition after 30 to 40 minutes. Then, style and install your wig.

As for color, a wig uses semi-permanent hair dye on a blonde, human hair base, quickly and easily. You should avoid bleaching your hair unless you
are an experienced professional or have a wig that you are willing to
risk.
