i need some help...PAINT
Err my mate got loads of paint in his dreads and the only thing that got it out was time :/ sorry dude i dont know any other way it came out on its own eventually. U could try and dye it 
:P
:P
my husbands a dready painter and he get's paint in his hair sometimes. He usually wears an old tam or bandanna while painting to try to keep it out though. A few years ago he fell off a ladder and dumped a full gallon of paint in his hair in the process. It came out fine after a little while. Was it latex or oil based paint?? Oil based will not come out w/o using paint thinner, which i do NOT recommend pouring over your head LOL! Latex will peel off kinda like plastic but it will take time either way.
yea do what Lex said.....pouring thinner over ur head is not recommended but u can definitely use thinner on the cotton ball and work it out....just make sure it doesnt get onto ur scalp. other thing u can prolly use is surgical spirit (Rubbing alcohol), we also use turpentine to get the paint off our hands but maybe it not a good idea to use it on hair, as it is quite toxic. hope u sort this out soon
cheers

when I get paint in my hair I put nail polish remover on a cotton ball and just go over each spot with it and it comes right out. This wouldn't work if you had a ton of paint in your hair tho
thanks everyone.. it is a latex based paint...ill pick out the "bigger" ones and let the rest fall off, its a bunch of little dots from roller splatter...
