Gather a wig, caramel hair dye or wig-safe color spray, gloves, mixing bowl, brush, clips, and a wig stand
Detangle the wig gently and place it on a wig stand
Section the wig into small, even parts
Protect the wig cap and surrounding area with plastic or foil
Mix the caramel color according to the product instructions if using dye
Apply the caramel color to selected strands or sections with a brush
Blend the color softly into the surrounding hair for a natural highlight effect
Use foil or plastic wrap to separate highlighted sections if needed
Leave the color on for the recommended processing time
Rinse the wig with cool water until the water runs clear
Wash the wig with a sulfate-free wig shampoo if required by the product
Apply a wig-safe conditioner if appropriate
Pat the wig dry with a towel and let it air dry on a wig stand
Comb or style the wig once fully dry
Repeat the process lightly if a stronger caramel effect is desired
