Is it possible to dye a fake beard / wig?
I am planning to create some online videos. I need a wizards beard, but seem to only be able to find them in white. Is it possible to dye beards and wigs like the one in the following link? If so, what do I use? Hair dye? Fabric dye? Some thing else?

If that wig/beard is made of polyester, you won’t be able to dye it. You’d have to boil it for an hour with the special polyester dyes known as disperse dyes, since polyester will not ‘take’ any more ordinary dye. Instead, you should be able to use a thin high quality fabric paint that mimics dye in its application, such as Jacquard’s Dye-na-Flow, which, the manufacturers assure us, will work on both natural and synthetic fibers.
First dilute the Dye-Na-Flow with one-third volume of water and mix thoroughly, then dip the wig in the paint and squeeze it out, while wearing gloves, or use an airbrush to apply the paint, if you have one already.
For metallics, use Lumiere, another product made by Jacquard which is supposed to work on both natural and synthetic fibers.
If you cannot find Dye-Na-Flow and Lumiere in your local crafts store, mail-order them from a good supplier such as Dick Blick or Dharma Trading Company.
You will need to comb through the beard repeatedly as the paint dries, to maintain the separation of the individual hairs. Afterwards, you could use a hair dryer to provide the dry heat-setting required by fabric paints, as described in the manufacturers’ instructions.
