Wigs Dye bleeding

I make and dye my own alpaca wigs, and to me it seems they didn't rinse the fibers well enough after dyeing. After I dye fiber, I do around 5 baths to make sure the water is running clear. You can probably do cold rinses of the wig yourself (although it's good to check what kind of glue (if any) was used to make sure it can handle being submerged in water. Sorry this happened to you, maybe contact the wig maker as well and see if they have any tips

 

Honestly I would tell them about it since you were charged for a styling fee and it wasn’t even done properly. I would ask for refund on the fee.

 

This isn't normal or supposed to happen if you prep the fibers properly (this goes for wigs or anything you dye). I'd reach out to the seller first and let them know. Maybe they never realized or normally do wash the fibers enough and just forgot - it could be an honest mistake and it would be nice to give them an opportunity to fix it. If you don't get a happy resolution, I'd take it up with Etsy and however you paid. Your wig right now isn't exactly usable, and yes, there is a chance that the glue they used is water soluble and washing the wig again would end up with the wig falling apart.
