Is there any way to make a wig glow in the dark? I want to cosplay Hatsune Miku for a party and it's going to be dark. Is there anything I can do to make a smooth glow throughout the whole wig?

Go play in a run-off lake by a coal mine.

Fiber optics?

Not necessarily glow in the dark but UV reactive hair dye might be a good option.

The thing with fiber optics is that only the end would glow. You can scratch up the fibers a bit to get dots of light but it won't just glow along the whole fiber. So EL wire (or LED strips) wrapped in wig fibers is what I think would work, maybe with plastazote around the wire/LEDs to diffuse the light. It won't flow like regular hair but it shouldn't be completely rigid either.

I’ve seen glow in the dark wigs but they glow a light green color. They might make glow in the dark hair spray in the right color.

Just wanted to add, if you go the hair spray route you can’t spray the entire wig because it’ll make it all crusty. Hair chalk might also work.

Regular hair dye wouldn’t work on wigs

They make UV reactive kanekalon. You could try buying a few bundles and adding wefts towards the top layer of a similar colored wig.

uv reactive won't glow in regular dark party lighting, only if you have a blacklight
