White Mystery Braid

[Chaka Zulu]

I'm planning to do a mystery braid in various colours, including white. I can't find any white dye so have ordered white leather paint.

Is paint likely to survive the braiding process or will it crack off? Any hints for how to improve my chances?

White dye exists, but it's toxic so I wouldn't use it for something to be worn on the skin. Acrylic paint is pretty flexible, especially if you thin it a bit and layer it on. Just remember if you decide to use a sealer on it, don't use one that's for oil based stains/dyes, it will react badly with the acrylic.
