    I remember someone posted a link to some dye that said it could dye nylon but I never heard if it works. I have no idea what it was called. Any ideas anyone?
    American Dream has a type of synthetic hair that's dyable but it's not the same as the kind you have.

    If theyre cheap and you dont mind fumes - permanant marker pen will do the trick.

    so I know this is an old post but I saw it ages ago when it was first posted, then had some account issues, but I figued I'd chime in with some specific tutorials and information.

    Katie Bair's wig dye! its a bit pricey, but it WORKS, though not as awell on tokyoloan fibers -http://www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigsupplies_dye.html

    tutorial on dying with inks rather than breaking open markers - again harder to dye tokyoloan
    -http://forums.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=57484

    and there are lots of tutorials on cosplpay web sites I've heard about how to dye with perm markers, generally sharpies are preferred, and often are broken open as well.
