- 1). Pour one pint of warm water to a large bowl. Begin adding acrylic paint one drop at a time, mixing with a mixing stick or spoon.
- 2). Stir and add paint until the mixture has the look and texture of melted plastic. The paint should be translucent, but not so watery that it is runny.
- 3). Place the wig on a wig block and comb it out thoroughly. Apply the paint to the wig with a flat paintbrush. Comb through the hair while applying paint to keep the strands from clumping together. Paint the entire wig in this manner.
- 4). Let the wig dry for about four hours, combing it occasionally. Rinse the wig in cold water, then let it dry before wearing.
