  • I really wanted to find out if i could dye the Afri-Naptural Kanekalon synthetic hair. What better way than to test it out myself! Watch and see how i attempted this and whether it worked!
    Kanekalon Hair - Colour 27 (£6.99)
    Dylon - Woodland Brown (£3.39) Hand Dye Instructions:
    1. Weigh dry fabric. Wash thoroughly. Leave damp
    2. Using rubber gloves, dissolve dye in 500ml warm water
    3. Fill bowl/stainless steel sink with approx 6 litres warm water (40°C)
    4. Stir in 250g (5tbsp) salt. Add dye & stir well
    5. Submerge fabric in water
    6. Stir for 15mins, then stir regularly for 45mins
    7. Rinse fabric in cold water. Wash in warm water and dry away from direct heat & sunlight
    HELPFUL HINTS
    • You will need 250g salt
    • 1 pack dyes up to 250g fabric (e.g. shirt) to full shade or larger amounts to lighter shade
    • Suitable fabrics: Cotton, linen and viscose. Wool, Silk, Polyester/cotton and polyester/viscose mixes will dye to lighter shade
    • Not suitable: Pure polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabric with special finishes
    • Wash separately for first few washes to remove any excess dye
    • Please note: Colour mixing rules apply (e.g. blue on red gives purple)
    MICROWAVE DYING
    • Hand dye can be used in the microwave to create special effects.
    • For cotton, linen, silk and polyester/cotton mixes only.
    • Micro-Dyeing is not suitable for wool, viscose or synthetic fabrics.
    • DO NOT USE ON VISCOSE, AS FABRIC CAN GIVE OFF HARMFUL FUMES.
    • Remove all metal on fabric (zips, studs, etc).
    How To Use
    1. Wash the fabric and leave damp.
    2. Select your special effect and prepare the fabric by scrunching, knotting, twisting or folding - tie all fabrics tightly.
    3. Wearing rubber gloves, empty the dye carefully into the bowl and gradually add 250 ml / ½ pint of hot water. Stir thoroughly to ensure dye is dissolved. Add further 250 ml / ½ pint of water.
    4. Place the fabric in the bowl and work into the dye.
    5. Put the bowl into a plastic bag or plastic wrap and place in the microwave. Set on ‘high’ for 4 minutes.
    6. After 4 minutes remove the bowl from the oven - remember to protect your hands from the heat.
    7. Tip away the dye solution and rinse the fabric in cold water. To protect the pattern do not undo any knots, twists, folds etc., until the water runs clear.
    8. Rinse, wash and dry as for the Hand method.

      Thank you, so nice :) Right now i have tribal braids on with my natural hair, doing other people's hair i have barely had time to do my own, but this Bank holiday weekend is for me so i will be doing something with the kanekalon hair definitely!

    You need acrylic ink & alcohol to dye synthetic hair.

      I know right, definitely going to try it again with the right things this time lol thank you for watching, have you tired it before?

    • @merissahyltonart

      Yes, I have, but I did it on hair that was slightly darker than the one you've used. I'm going to do it again but I'm going to use light blonde or white kanekalon if I can get it as the colour will probably be a lot more vibrant.

    • @abivision6663
      @abivision6663  6 років тому

      oh ok let me know how it goes, am going to try it with a grey/white hair and hope the colour sticks

    • @abivision6663
      @abivision6663  4 роки тому

      I don't think so, it's really hard to change synthetic hair colours.

  • @TanzytheglowupG

      @abivision6663  6 років тому +1

      wow ok, i think i'll try it, cause i want this hair in brown, but they don't sell it in brown, so i have been trying to make my own colour for a while, i don't know why my mind never went to ink! I love this sharing i am learning so much! I really appreciate you telling me Tanzy, thank you!

  • @niksnotions4190
    @niksnotions4190 3 роки тому +4

    It didn't work bc your dye water was not hot. It has to be BOILING hot.

      @abivision6663  3 роки тому

    @johnsonjohnson6919 3 роки тому +4

    It doesn't work at all tried it several times I let it soak 24 hours.. it doesn't work.itll just wash right out ..the best way is to use permanent markers or black liguid ink mixed with lotion..let it sit 24 hours . And .rinse..worked for me👍
