    Posted: March 01 2006 at 3:58am

I“m going on a date with my husband on saturday (fells like a date , we have to small children, and havent had a night alone since our youngest boy was born, and he is now 11 month).

I have a thing with gold at the moment, so I would like to ad some thin golden dreads or something to my hair.

Any one of you have any ideas, or experience?

Could I just spraypaint a dreadlock? Do you think i would work?

I hand make all my dreads out of synthetic hair (Kanekalon jumbo
braid is the best for this) and the colour I would suggest using is 144
if you are after a golden hue, although it's more of a yellowy gold
than being metallic. There are lots of resources available online to
help you make your own.
As far as spray painting goes - it's entirely possible, particularly if
you are only intending them for occasional use.

If you do this, post some pictures!!! I've been thinking of doing something
like this now that my hair is brown with pink or something bright and fun.
Also, how are you attaching them? And is this just temporary for your
date?

It would just be temporary for the evening. I have thought about making dreads on clips.

I have bought some shiny gold spraypaint today. Can“t wait to get started tomorrow.

I“ll post pictures .

It was before the internet and I couldnt find good colours in my town, it
always worked out just fine! :)
