Can You Add Highlights to a Synthetic Wig?
Usually not, as synthetic fibers cannot be brightened with conventional dyes. However, heat-resistant synthetic wigs and specialized dyes (e.g. synthetic fabric sprays) are used. Clip-in highlights are a safer alternative.

Is Highlighting Better Than Coloring?
Highlighting adds dimension and looks more natural; lower maintenance (roots are less noticeable). Full color is better for dramatic changes or gray coverage. For wigs, highlights may last longer (less fading) than full body dyes.
