what do you girls think of dying your Hair

[God'schild]

Hi!!

i just want to know what you girls think of dying your hair? i dyed my hair about a month and a half ago. I don't think that it's wrong to dye my hair. I just want to know what you girls think of dying of the hair?

[marichino_freedom]

i think its fun!!! i like to do fun colors like purple...but i only do the stuff that lasts a month....its much safer!

[redeemed]

i guess it just depends on your reason. is it to attract attention or is it just because you thinik you'd like it? i don't see anything wrong with it if you're just doing it for yourself but to attract attention, that's a different story. Just remeber your hair is your glory and make sure you use something that's not going to damage it because why would you want to damage the glory God has given you. i hope i didn't step on anyones toes!:)

[blessed]

I will have to check for quotes on it but personally i am not in agreement with it... If its for someone who is greying maybe but a person who has their natural hair color why would you want to do it. I personally think it looks wordly

[redeemed]

blessed, i personally say i have to agree with you.i just looked at the way i worded my previous comment and it sounds like i would do it, however i wouldn't and i wouldn't let my kids. but there are many people in the Message that do it because it is fine for them. my pastor has said if it's not for attracting attention than it's fine and i agree but...oh i don't know how to word what i mean! i give up! just don't take this or my previous comment into consideration!:)

[blessed]

I understand what you are saying redeemed.. . :D

[redeemed]

yes!!!:yay: someone understands me!!!!!!!:yay: :yay: :yay:

My Pastor did questions and answers in sunday school and 1 of the questions was is it okay for girls to dye their hair.
He looked up what brother Branham said about it. My pastor read us the quotes about what Bro:Branham said about it. Bro: Branham said it is natural for a girl to look pretty that what's in her is to look beautiful. There is nothing wrong with dying the hair.
I always thought there it was wrong to dye my hair untill Bro:Paul(my Pastor) gave me the answer about it. He put it this way do you think it's wrong to perm your hair? if you don't think it's wrong then why is dying it so bad. Bro:Branham said that men shouldn't do it, but he never said it was wrong for girls to dye their hair.
IT'S NATURAL FOR A WOMEN, GIRL TO WANT TO LOOK PRETTY.
I also i agree that if you do it to get attention from guys or whoever then it's wrong. But if you want to do it for the fun of it then i think it's okay.
that's just my point of view

[marichino_freedom]

like i said, id do fun colors that dont last long, but my hair is so dark it's hard to tell at first glance....so it doesnt attract a lot of attention....besides, when i tire of it, it washes out!! :ninja:

[FreeAtLast]

God´s child, could you please give us the exact quote of Bro. Branham (if possible). not quite sure if Bro. Branham said it like that...

I personally don´t agree with dying your hair for it can damage your hair quite a lot (same goes for a perm). Besides this why do you want to change your natural hair-color? God made you that way!

Now if someone got grey before her time I wouldn´t mind putting a little color into your hair (but it should be the same color like your natural hair).

My pastor read us the quotes about what Bro:Branham said about it. Bro: Branham said it is natural for a girl to look pretty that what's in her is to look beautiful. There is nothing wrong with dying the hair... He put it this way do you think it's wrong to perm your hair? if you don't think it's wrong then why is dying it so bad.

Yes, it's natural for women to want to look pretty - but we don't justify our actions by our desires. If we could do that, we'd have believer's wearing earrings, excessive jewelry, and anklets all over the place (see Isaiah 3).

As far as the quotes, what I read up on the subject was that Brother Branham saw nothing wrong with changing your hair back to it's natural color if it was graying (quotes available upon request). He did say that he had no Bible one way or the other on changing one's hair color - but it seemed apparent that he wasn't comfortable with the thought. I didn't find anything regarding men.

I heard a rumour quote (you know the kind) that Brother Branham had said specifically that dyeing your hair was appropriate only if you wanted to get rid of the gray, not for changing your natural hair color. I have yet to find this quote, but it does seem like the sort of balance he would bring to the subject.

i think its fun!!! i like to do fun colors like purple...but i only do the stuff that lasts a month....its much safer!
As far as dyeing your hair unnatural colors (colors that don't appear on humans naturally). In all honesty, this sends a message to the world "I'm just like you." You may be Holy Ghost filled, but what the world sees is a deviant, a "punk." As Christians sisters, your goal should be for your beauty to be seen from the inside out. To me, dying your hair weird colors doesn't fall in line with Timothy 2:9.
1 Timothy 2:9 (King James Version)
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

Also remember that though you may be comfortable with doing these things, you have to remember the brothers and sisters you're in fellowship with - and the people you witness to without knowing! We are instructed in the following scriptures not to do anything that would be as a stumbling block for another:
Romans 14:13 (King James Version)
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
1 Corinthians 8:13 (King James Version)
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

Furthermore, for those still questioning one way or the other on this issue, Brother Branham gave us the very practical advice that "if there's a question, don't do it." If you cannot proceed in faith, do not proceed. Lay it down. Sacrifice your right to it.

One of many quotes that deals with this:

UNCERTAIN.SOUND.title SPOKANE.WA 62-0714
E-39 039 Now, we live in a day of uncertainty. It's an uncertain time. And I want to ask you something. And as we... I try to teach just for a moment and refer to these contexts that--here, and Scriptures. I'd like to ask you... Anything that's uncertain cannot be trusted. If it's uncertain, you can't trust it. Paul said here, "If the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, how shall we prepare ourselves for battle?"
Now, uncertainty. There never was a time that things was so uncertain as today. And anything that's uncertain cannot be trusted. Just remember that. Anything that's uncertain cannot be trusted. If there's a question, don't do it at all.


If, after all this, you still have a question about it, I encourage you to ask your father or your husband or your pastor. YQF isn't here to undermine your headship.

[chosenqueen2luv]

I agree with everyone who's against dyeing hair. what's your motive in doing this sister? do you just wanna look more beautifull or do you envy somebody with a certain hair colour. I think that we should be happy with what God has given us. I have dark brown hair and i've always been tempted to dye it black because i admired other girls with black hair and thought that i would look better. finally i asked myself the above questions and realised that i should be happy with what God has given me rather then damaging my hair with dyes. you might not have the same motives as me but remember that somebody else is watching and you should try to avoid being a stumbling block. Remember that eternal life is living for others

957-Q-250 250. (question) If it is wrong for me to--is it wrong for me to run a--a beauty shop? I'm a beautician and don't believe in Christians cutting her hair, but I cut others' and (I guess it's t-i-n-t, tint, that means to color, I guess, isn't it?) color also.
(answer)
Sister dear, I would--I wouldn't know what to tell you. Listen, I can't say for women about that, putting color in their hair. I have no Scripture about--against that; I can only stay with the Scripture. See? The Scripture don't say for them not to do that. The Scripture says she must have long hair, and after that, I don't know where to go. See? I--I don't know nothing about that.

957-168 Now, a little minister that's present here somewhere I know, a dear friend of mine, we was talking together the other day at the Blue Boar when we was having dinner. He said, "My wife's kind of ashamed to come before you." A very saintly, godly, little woman, and she's a--a pretty little lady, grandmother, and... But she's a nice, clean, real... My wife's just crazy about this woman, and--and I think she's a real, real woman. She... I don't know if she's setting here; I guess she is. I think her husband's here. And he said to me; he said, "She let her hair grow out after she heard you preach and she sees it was right, but," said, "she's been using some coloring in her hair; and she's trying her best to get all that color to grow out before she comes around where you are."

958-169 Now, look, sister dear, I highly respect that. I have a honor for a woman that'll do that. For some woman just to come up and do her hair any way, or spit on your feet and walk around arrogant and no respects at all, remember, Jesus said, "What you do to these, you've done it to Me." See? And I respect that in you, and God will bless you for that.
But, sister, about the hair color or something like that, I--I don't know. I--I can't back that up with the Scripture, so I--that's just up to you. You see? You, if you want to do it, that's perfectly all right with me. As far as I know, the church has no such customs. If you want... Anything that's not in this Bible, well, you just... That's up to you. You see? But I'll just give you my advice, you see, and as far as I would know... You know, it's just the nature of a woman to want to look pretty; she's supposed to be that way.


-------------
Bro Branham spoke on the following about makeup in general, but I think the principle can apply

RETURN.AND.JUBILEE_ SHREVEPORT.LA THURSDAY_ 62-1122
You know what it does? I went the other day up here in the country, and I never seen... I seen a woman over here in Los Angeles; I was going over to pray for her. I thought she had leprosy. But I'd seen leprosy, didn't look like that, green under the eyes and everything like that. I... What... I never... I started to walk up and say, "Lady, I'm a missionary. I've seen leprosy. I've seen pellagra. I've seen everything. I never seen anything like that. I'm a minister, would you let me pray for you?" Here come another one up, looked just like her. I thought, "Wait a minute."
E-66 What was it? Why, it's a shame. Maybe a nice looking woman, but you know you're not supposed to look like a freak, that some prehistoric something, something off of somewhere they call Mars.
You are a borned again saint of God. Stay the way God made you. That's right. Many of them Pentecostal women... When a woman does that, false on the outside... The outside only expresses what's on the inside. It's false on the inside. She's got a false denomination she's holding to in the stead of... Christ ought to fill her life with a power of His resurrection. Instead of that, she's took some man-made creed. The outside always expresses what's on the inside. The tree's known by the fruit it bears. Oh, my.

----------------

I would say let's not be legalistic. As Bro Branham mentions, there is no scripture for whether it would be right or not. Josiah had some pretty good advice in His post. I would also say that I have no problems with an aging sister keeping her original color, but when you start changing your looks or adding "highlights"...well...what are you "highlighting?" the fact that your pretty?? OR the fact that you have the love of GOd in your heart?

Something to think on...

"try the spirits"

(oh, but if you do decide to dye your hair... I wont condemn you...)

[redeemed]

Amen Bro Trevor and Joe! (i won't give you a red for sharing your thought Bro Trevor, so yes because of what you said you have diplomatic immunity in my book.)(only on this thread though! lol jk)

I don't remeber who said it but someone said something about dye damaging your hair. i totally agree with that (perms damage also.) my mom (whos not in the Message) is a hair stylist and she says that it ruins peoples hair so why would you want to ruin the glory God gave you. (i think i might be stepping on some toes so sorry but that's how i feel.)

[blessed]

Thanks for the quotes T- The first one is what I was trying to find.

[marichino_freedom]

its not like i do it all the time though...it isnt damage and it isnt far off from my natural color (i have very dark brown hair with lots of natural red highlights) the stuff i put in it occasionally (i stress occaisionally) is called egyptian plum...and it makes it look slightly different...just extra red. it just says purple on the box.

sorry if i've offended anyone

[chocolateismybestfriend]

Personally i think changing your hair colour completely is wrong but you can add colour to it such as highlights in a way that doesnt make you look like a jezebel. I have read the quotes, and i do highlight my hair and i dont feel it affects my walk. I know this is a discussion of mostly opinions and quotes as there is no scriptures to back it up.

If you came here and asked the question whether or not it should be done, you ARE questioning it, and you should just leave it alone. If in doubt dont do it!

Our walks are different, if it affects you in a negative way such as you do it to be noticed, it affects your pride etc, dont do it. What affects you, may not affect others in the same way.

As Bro Branham said the main thing about our hair girls, is to NOT cut it.

But when you pull out your real good teeth, because they're just not as bright as they should be, then you done wrong. If you've got red hair and you want black, and you go down here and color it black, just because... You done wrong. Yeah, I think so. But the main thing... There's no Scripture for that. Only to bob your hair, there's Scripture for that, have plenty of that.

You women, you like to look nice, and you should look nice. And Brother Branham's not against you children. You're my children; I--I--I love you, and I--I don't want to be bawling you out. I--I wouldn't do it for nothing; I'm only trying to help you.
But now, look, let me just ask... Let me say this in answer to that question. Now, are you ready? And to you on the tape, here it is, sisters: If there is a question in it, don't do it. But if you're--if you're filled with God's Spirit and led to go do it, as long as it don't interfere with the Scripture and don't interfere with a question, you're perfectly satisfied that that's the will of the Lord, then go ahead and do it (See?), 'cause there's no Scripture to say no (See?) about it. I don't... Don't say nothing like that in the Bible.

1000-34 I know Isaiah 5, I believe it is, talked about women, how they will wear changeable apparel and everything like that; but that was pride and stuff, put-on.

Where did the hair coloring start from? ( If someone can answer that i'll appreicate it)

Isint it something that is being promoted by hollywood and that circle.

[blessed]

Personally i think changing your hair colour completely is wrong but you can add colour to it such as highlights in a way that doesnt make you look like a jezebel.

What 's the purpose of highlights?

[God'schild]

I have to agree with marichinio Freedom, I only have dyed my hair once and it isn't far from my natural color it looks like i never even dyed my hair, my hair was a dark brown now it is a lighter brown. You can't really tell that i dyed my hair.
i talked to my sister's hair dresser and she said that hair dye doesn't damage your hair.It only damages your hair if you bleach it or dye it constantly.
The conditioner in the dye is actually really healthly for your hair.
It's not like i will do it all the time
i just wanted to have a change in my hair.
I don't think it's wrong to dye your hair, If people think that's it's wrong then highlights are wrong aswell.

it says "If you've got red hair and go down here and color it black, just because... You done wrong." the way i'm taking that quote it's saying don't dye your hair just because. does anyone see it a different way because if i got it wrong i want to know.

God's child i don't know about it not damaging your hair, seems we have two licensed hair dressers telling us different things.:confused: (i'm not condeming i'm just not sure who's right.) (sorry if i offended anyone.)

If I have it correct, Bro Branham says even though there is no scripture for it it is still wrong. There are a lot of things there is no scripture for that is why is God sent a prophet.

[redeemed]

right! that's what i was pointing out but i should have highlighted it like you! lol

[FreeAtLast]

to highlight your hair is even worse than dying your hair for you need to bleach your hair in order to get those highlights (blonde once anyway).
Worldly women at my workplace always do it - and it´s easy for them, for later on they will cut off the broken hair.
In fact once you´ve bleached your hair (if someone wants to get lighter it always takes bleaching! With dying you can only make your hair a darker color) you will have to continue it forever - for it is permanent and it will only grow out - and since we don´t cut our hair, you will have to do it all the time. And that is very damaging to your hair!

[redeemed]

that's very true!

[marichino_freedom]

I don't think it's wrong to dye your hair, If people think that's it's wrong then highlights are wrong aswell.

the only times i have ever done the dyeing was in the winter time when my hair was really dry, and it really does soften it up and make it more manageable.....(and i only buy the demi-permanant, so it washes out after a month when i'm good and tired of it)

[EllyMae]

I used to dye my hair all the time. This was before I was a christian, and if I didn't like it... I would dye it again, and if I felt my hair was too damaged, I would just simply cut my hair. However, now since I don't cut my hair, I've been very careful about what I do to my hair. I haven't dyed my hair in over a year, and it has grown out about 5 inches. And those 5 inches are a lot darker than the rest of my hair, so I'm going to have it dyed just once more as close to my natural color as possible, so I won't have to worry about it. I know it won't be perfect, but I'm hoping it will be better than what it is...

[marichino_freedom]

sometimes imperfections are what make us more beautiful....(and they look cool sometimes)

I would actually do the same in your situation. Otherwise you would never get rid of the 2 different colors.

[azurity]

It does grow out, eventually! :)

[FreeAtLast]

Since it is permanent it would take many years until its totally gone (until the hair has renewed itself).

[Lyddie]

I would never dye my hair because it dries out your hair and ruins it.

[EllyMae]

i wish i had never dyed my hair. but that was years and years ogo back when i didnt think about things like that lol. my hair will grow out, but i will still have a lot of blonde in it, so i'm just gonna go ahead and dye it now.

[redeemed]

i know a realitive that used to dye her hair all the time and the same thing happened to her. (she had two differnet colors) so she died it one more time. and she says she won't do it again. i have a question, if you die it one more time what about when it starts to grow out? then don't you have the same prob??:confused:

[EllyMae]

well, it depends what color you dye it... lol. of course it won't ever be perfectly the same, but it can approve. i'm having it dyed as close to my natural color as possible, so that way i won't have to dye it anymore.

[redeemed]

oh, okay! that makes sense! lol!

[EllyMae]

hey girls, i dyed my hair for the very last time!! it looks really good and its very close to my natural color. its a little bit warmer than my natural color, but the stylist said that it will fade some. so, by the time my roots start growing in, it should blend very well.

Here is what I found Bro. Branham said about hair:

4 Could you imagine how beautiful that was that morning when Adam took Eve by the arm, went walking down through the garden? Oh, my. Those big birds a flying, and peace, and no sickness, never to die. She'd never have to use any of this here manicure you put on your face to make her look pretty. And she--she... That's wrong, I knowed, I... Somebody laughed. That is... what is it you call that stuff? Anyhow, it's--it's paint, you know, that you put on your face. Manicure, what, that's--that's in your hair though, ain't it? That's what you put in your hair. Anyhow, it's some way, I don't know, it's--it's something. I'm making it worse all the time.

[redeemed]

mancuring your hair?? lol!

[God'schild]

Ok this is NOT GODCHILD but her sister. I just read this and I want to through something in here. I know I'm not part of this group or any thing but I think this could maybe help.
I have seen the quotes on here from both sides. People that think its right and people that think its wronge. Are you using those quotes as your way of justifying it and not taking it all that Brother Branham said? After you see ALL that he says about it then pray about and make your desion. And if he says NO then stand with that, If he says yes then stand with that. Because Brother Branham was the Mouth peice of God to this age and his word it right. If he says that he can't find a scripture that speaks about it then Its kind of in your hands. BUt if He says Plainly Yes or No then you know where you have to stand. So in this I would say Pray about it and If there a question in your heart leave it.
But one thing I think we need to remember is that we might never agree with every thing somebody eles dose. But thats still your sister or your brother and don't condeem them but pray for them. Also its important not to look down on otheres because there doing something we don't agree with becuase as you grow in God shouldn't we have more grace for each other? Like think about it one day you probly did stuff that was not right or people didn't agree with but now that your past that do you juge the people that are doing stuff that maybe you feel is not right?
I'm not trying to pick a side I just thought I would through this out here!

God had grace for us but do we have grace for others????

Hey this is God'schilds little sister again
I wanted to say that I'm sorry to you girls for what i said although I do agree with it. But I should do it at a different place. Something that I'm a part of. And secondly i should have more respect for my big sister and not just go on her stuff. Thats really rude and I know that i don't like it when people do that to me. So I guess what I am trying to say is don't listen to that post just don't pay attintion to it. And from now on I will shut my mouth:y10: and keep out of things where I don't belong.
Once again I'm sorry Thanks for understanding.

Firstly...awwwww firstly your apology is soo sweet and secondly you should sign up yourself. You made a very valid pint that I believe shouldn't be just ignored. I like what you said and I agree with it whole heartedly. I'm sure your sister will forgive you, but if your sister is anything like mine (I'm sure it's vice versa for her too) then I suggest you don't go onto her stuff without permission :) ;)

Just for the record... we were not condemning anybody just stating our views on this one.

[EllyMae]

I can totally see how dying your hair is somewhat like putting on make-up. You are changing the color of your hair just like painting your face up. I use to dye my hair all the time before I became a Christian. I haven't dyed my hair in over a year, however just recently I dyed my hair once more because my natural color had grew out, and I wanted the rest of it to look natural too. So, I dyed the rest of my hair my natural color. I believe my motive was okay and I didn't feel God was telling me there was anything wrong with it.

First of all, check your motice. Secondly, pray and if you have any doubt, don't do it.

I have to agree with you Elly, you were trying to bring your hair back to it's original color and you are not going to do it again so that's ok, but coloring our hair in all these different colors changing from the natural to something worldy I don't agree with.

[Babyruth]

All that I have to say is strictly my opinion, except when I say otherwise, just so no one gets offended. I personally think it is really dumb to dye your hair unless it is going gray prematurely. When you dye your hair, you are telling God that He didn't do a good enough job and you want to change it. Yeah, you might not be satisfied with how you are, but you should be. God made you with a certain hair color and He wants you to stay that way. Coloring your hair is like make-up for the hair. Bro. Branham said it was wrong to wear make-up (not my opinion, stated by him, and I agree), so I think that it's not so good, even wrong to dye your hair. I have some friends that do it and I don't really agree with it. Highlights, in my opinion, look really dumb and totally fake. Why would you want your hair to look fake? I agree with blessed, dyeing hair and highlighting hair probably came from some perversion of somesort. Even if it didn't, all the world does it, so it looks wrong. The Bible says to "shun the very appearance of evil," and to me, that includes dyeing your hair. So, all of this is my opinion and I don't think any less of people that dye their hair, but I do think they are telling God they aren't satisfied with how He made them. I don't mean to offend, this is what I think though.

You made some very good points, and I'm not offended at all. I used to dye my hair all the time when I was out in the world. I didn't get to grow up in the message. So, the devil often times attacks the senses of my flesh and spirit. I can't go back and change the things I've done wrong. Only by His grace and mercy can I continue to live a Christian life. I only dyed my hair this last time to get it back to my natural color.

[God'schild]

For me personally i don't thing it's wrong to dye your hair. Dying my Hair was a change that helped me change for the better. I've never let people get to close to me because i was a afraid of getting hurt so i kept people at a distance. And dying my hair was one of the changes that let people see me for who i am. I will still not let to many people come to close theres just a few that can come close to me because i trust them and i know that they won't hurt me. Emotionally and phycially.
That's the only reason i dyed my hair.

Before I say anthing I want you to know I am not condemning you just trying to understand.

Do you mean dying your hair from its original color, then that is not who you really are.

[God'schild]

No No it was a change that helped me changed. I won't dye it again.

Ok, I was just trying to understand.

That is great :) When people see us, we should want people to see Christ in us. We should want to look holy. That the main reason why I dyed my hair one more time back to my natural color, so I don't look like the rest of the world. God is so good to us sisters!!

[redeemed]

it makes total sense to me to make your hair look the origional color so that you're not giving someone the wrong impression:)

[EllyMae]

Yes, amen! I want to look nothing like the world! :)

[collegegirl]

Dying? Only when I am going gray, and maybe even not then.

Highlights? Not chemical ones. I have natural blonde highlights from the sun.

[redeemed]

i've got blonde hair with really light brown highlights. (where'd i get the highlights?? i have no idea!! lol)

[collegegirl]

Natural highlights are awesome. Not only do they blend in better, they also look better.

[redeemed]

i really like them!:yay:

[EllyMae]

Are you in the sun a lot to get the natural highlights? I get them very easily as well, especially in the summer. I love summer!!

[redeemed]

uhh, i might get some of them from the sun but even when i don't go out a lot i have them:yay:

[God'schild]

I don't think i will dye my hair again. But if i do it will only be in the future. I will first let this dye grow out. And let my natural hair color show.
i don't think it's wrong to dye hair. But i see everyones point.

[God'schild]

God knew the desire of my heart and why i did dye my hair. I don't think i will dye it again, and if i do it will only be in the far future.

[EllyMae]

I think that is understandable. It is more of a personal conviction. I don't think anyone should be looked down upon because they dye their hair, but I also understand why someone wouldn't want to dye their hair.

[redeemed]

amen ellymae! i totally agree! it's just like one person has the conviction that you have to wear your skirts down to you ankles and the other person has the conviction that as long as when you sit down it doesn't show your knees. did that go along with what we were saying or did i take us totally off topic? lol

[EllyMae]

haha, no that goes along with what i'm saying. like i said about dying the hair... i can understand why someone likes to only wear long skirts to their ankles, but i don't feel like if a girl wears one a little bit shorter (below the knees of course) that they should be looked down upon. Brother Branham never said we should only wear skirts to our ankles, only skirts that our past our knees. it's a personal conviction. :)

I agree. Yes. We diffently have to be carefull not to judge people. I know for my self I used to be against any thing shoter then the ancle. But God showed me that my additude was not right and now I actully wear skirts around mide calf. I thought they were wronge because some sisters said something about one of my older wearing the short skirts just under the knee. But God showed me not to judge others.

right, i agree with that but some people don't i guess.
i agree with you also already bought, i was the same way!

[marichino_freedom]

i agree too....mine vary from below the knee to having to lift the hem up because it's too long! (like my dress from nepal) :aaaah:


i'm not against others who dye there hair, i do it myself in the winter to help with moisturizing and it's never permanent....i'm quite fond of my natural color, i would never want to change it permanently.....(plus it would get expensive to keep it up all the time)!
