So I got paint in my hair...

So I got paint in my hair while working the past couple days. It is bright white satin interior latex paint from rubbing against the wall, getting the shit out of the way, ect...

Not really a big deal. I don't care really I know it will come out, it's just on the surface (i think). Any experience as to how long is stays there? I have rinsed it with water once and really didn't do much. I don't use shampoo or soap so I guess I will just wait it out and see how long it's stays there. My hair is very dark brown too so it sticks out like a thumb.

 

like 7 or 8 years

 

That's what I was thinking too.

 

Someone else here got paint in their hair once I think.

 

It's not that munch. I really couldn't give two shits.. just thought I would see if anyone else had similar experience.

 

I got blue paint in my hair about 8 months ago and it is still there.

 

sweet. looks like my hair just got some new flair for a while.

 

lol yeah I didnt want to be a downer, but I knew someone who never got the paint out and she ended up cutting because of it. She had lots of paint in there though

 

Damnn that sucks

 

I thought you were being a smart ass. Lol So my following remark was sarcasm.

I thought maybe a week...but you all are saying a long time. I mean I got the shit all over my arms and it comes right off. I have been picking pieces of my hair...some hair break, and it slides off of others.

Key thing here is it's latex. it's thick plastic like shit. I figured it just wouldn't stick to hair long and break down...'tis only speculation though.

 

I was wearing a hat the first day and still got paint in it.. So i didn't fuck with it today and got more in there... make money > not having paint in my hair

 

I'm a painter man, and you'll have to pick what you can out after a long hot shower or bath. Latex paint is basically plastic when it dries. It is gonna need some help coming out , but it will come out. If it is really bugging you, or its alot of little stuff, you can use an X-acto blade to scrape it out. That is a worst case scenario, though. Good luck, and next time wear a shower cap.

 

Or paint the rest of your dreads

pchyeah

 

I thought about dipping one, but there were not cool colors.

 

That mother would be lethal. 'You could put your eye out, kid.'

 

not if it was in the back on my head

 

i wouldn't ever do that though. i have never even considered dying my hair. that shit seems silly.

 

Hmm, maybe try and poking it a million times with like a sewing needle or a really thin pin, so it will break it all up. That would probably turn it into a bunch of little tiny chips of paint, which you could try getting a thick brush of some sort and going to town on them.

Sandpaper?

 

it shouldnt last that long, cant imagine that it would, paint never stuck to anything ive got it on that long except for clothes

 

I've had paint in my hair a dozen times and I don't think I could find any if I went looking for it.
