I waited in line for two hours today, to buy a Tori. And I did, I was so happy I actually found one. It fits great and the hair is stunning. But its to dark, way to dark. Does it make sense to fully dye a brand new beautiful hair shaitel? Secondly I feel like an idiot, its a lob. I should have got a long one for the same price. Any advice (mostly on the color) or where I could sell it?

Of course!
I'm blonde. For blondes, you usually have to dye the wig. A little rooting, a little highlights, blah blah. I know my sister who's a brunette colors her new wigs, too. Unless it's a custom wig, the color usually needs to be adjusted to make it perfect for u!
(Dyeing it too much does have an effect on the hair, but that's not what your doing.)

If you really want to sell it, doppleganger wigs can sell it for u.

Congrats on the new purchase and wear it in good health.

You may be able to sell it here and get your money back. Post the color, size and length.
If it just needs highlights but the base is good, then highlights make sense. You have to consider the cost of dying and cutting it.

thanks for the replies. Doesn't it ruin the hair to make something totally lighter? I think the base is to dark. I will post a pic soon syrima.

highlights don't ruin a wig. I had mine highlighted when I bought it. 2+ years later it still looks fab

Not necessarily. It will need to be treated with something like Olaplex in the dye. If the entire color is off you may just never be happy anyways. You can do a consult with someone who dyes shaitels.

Going from darker to lighter compromises on the hairs quality as bleach dries out hair. It can be done but hair won’t be the same

I’ve had that done more than once, regretted it in the long run every time . The hair lost life pretty soon after , and they were high end wigs in great condition prior

You may end up liking the cut. Show it to a few friends and DH. There was something you like about it.

I hated my last sheital until I got compliments. Get some other opinions.

I'm a sheitel macher ... I may be wrong but I'm getting the feeling u bought it under pressure and now your having major buyers remorse. Before dumping money into coloring it and compromising the hair, I'd try and sell it . Rather get it off your hands and get your money back because who's to say if u add another $200 to color it you'll ever see that money again ...
