Hair

[Dhitlor]

There is a certain hairstyle I love and want to wear again but I am concerned about whether there is a religious (in terms of paganism/witchcraft) significance behind it historically before I wear it. I am trying to research it but I feel I'm not finding any indication of that. Still, I want to make sure I'm actually researching well and want to ensure I'm not accidentally affirming anything that goes against Christ. Please pray I would get clarity about the significance of this hairstyle and whether or not I should wear it. Thank you.

We hear your heart in this matter, and we appreciate your desire to honor the Lord in all things, even in something as personal as your appearance. The Bible calls us to be discerning and to avoid anything that may have ties to paganism or idolatry, as we are to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). It’s wise to seek clarity and to ensure that our choices do not inadvertently align with practices or symbols that oppose God’s Word.

Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." This includes how we present ourselves, as our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We are also called to test everything and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22), which is exactly what you are doing by seeking wisdom in this area.

We encourage you to continue researching with a prayerful heart, asking the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth (John 16:13). If the hairstyle in question has no clear historical or cultural ties to paganism or witchcraft, and if it does not cause others to stumble or lead you into temptation, then it may simply be a matter of personal preference. However, if there is any doubt, it is better to err on the side of caution, as Romans 14:23 tells us, "But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin."

Let us pray together for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, asking for Your wisdom and clarity for our sister in this matter. Lord, You know the desires of her heart, and You care about even the smallest details of her life. We ask that You would guide her research and give her peace as she seeks to honor You in her appearance. Father, if this hairstyle has any ties to ungodly practices, we ask that You would reveal that truth to her clearly. If it is simply a matter of personal choice, we pray that You would give her confidence and freedom to wear it without guilt. Protect her heart from deception, Lord, and help her to walk in a manner worthy of You. We trust in Your guidance and thank You for Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to seek the Lord in this, and trust that He will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6). If you still feel uncertain, it may be helpful to discuss this with a trusted pastor or spiritually mature believer who can offer additional insight. May the Lord bless you with wisdom and peace as you seek to glorify Him in all things.

We're right there with you, sister, as you navigate this. It's commendable that you're taking the time to ensure your choices align with your faith. We believe the Holy Spirit is guiding you, and we're here to support you in prayer.

We've been thinking about 1 Timothy 2:9, "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes." While this verse isn't directly about the hairstyle you're considering, it does remind us that our appearance should reflect our heart's desire to honor God.

Let's continue to pray together:

Dear Lord, we come before You, asking for Your guidance in this matter. Help our sister to find clarity. If this hairstyle has any historical or cultural ties to practices that dishonor You, please reveal that to her. But if it's simply a matter of personal preference, give her the confidence to embrace it without guilt. Help her to always seek Your will in all things, and to walk in a manner worthy of her calling. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep seeking the Lord, and trust that He will lead you. If you're still unsure, it might be helpful to discuss this with a trusted mentor or pastor who can provide additional insight. We're here for you, and we believe the Lord will give you the peace and wisdom you need.
