Long Hair vs. Short Hair: the Smackdown

I’m a short hair girl. It suits my face (I think), it’s easy to care for, and looks good on short notice. I’m used to it. I’m comfortable with it. Heck, I even cut my own hair most of the time! With curly hair, if it’s a little uneven, it’s hard to tell. (Things would be a little trickier if I had straight hair.) But every once in a while, I get the urge to let my hair grow. I can count only two times in my life when my hair has been below shoulder length: once when I was … Continue reading →

Does Your Son Have Long Hair?

Despite being born and raised in Hawaii, I’ve never been into long surfer stud locks. I’ve never thought Fabio’s flowing mane was the least bit attractive, and I think boys with Cousin It bangs and hippie braids that cascade down their backs should be recruited for one of Oprah’s makeover shows. But, that’s just me. I come from the school of two dos for boys: Buzz or bowl cuts.

Just washing and drying your hair can be a time consuming task! Breakage can be a big problem with long hair. Here are some tips to reduce breakage: Don’t sleep with your hair in a tight braid or in a ponytail. That might help keep the tangles down, but it can put some serious stress on your hair.

The Covering in 1 Corinthians Chapter 11

I’ve heard three beliefs about the covering that is referred to in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 beginning in verse 3. I’d like to break it down and hear what others think about what the true message of the scripture is. I’ll be covering verses 3 through 16. One belief I’ve heard has been made known by women who wear a bonnet such as Mennonite and Amish women. My understanding is they believe a woman’s head is to be physically covered. Another belief I’ve heard has been from women of the United Pentecostal Church who believe a woman’s long hair to … Continue reading →
