Can you dye a wig? How can you tell the difference between human hair and synthetic hair wigs?

I went to a convention this month and the wig that I wore was black, and for next year the character I’m going as has short blue hair so I figured save money and dye the wig. Can I do that? I tried burning a strand of the wig hair and the fire didn’t go out, it was similar to the string on a bomb. Unlike my hair the fire went away in a second.

    you can dye a synthetic wig, but you cannot dye a black synthetic wig. You can’t lighten the nylon as it has the pigment in the structure itself. (think about black nylon stockings you can bleach and bleach and they will never lighten) You should just buy a blue wig, or buy a light colored wig and dye it using permanent ink. (trust me it works WAY better than rit dye and hair dye will not work)
    and the easiest way to tell if a wig is real or synthetic is the price. a human hair wig (a good one) will set you back almost $500 USD. also does it melt?and is it SUPER shiny? if it is it is synthetic. I would say 70% of wigs for sale are synthetic. hope i could Help!
