WOMEN'S STYLED HAIR...

Same as cutting.

I have been thinking about the following for years (even before NTCC stopped renewing my Ordained Minister's License in 2009).

Question,

Since Paul talks about a woman’s hair being a covering, a glory to a women, and an example, why is it alright to style with an up-do/french roll, bun, etc, when this prevents a woman's long hair from being a covering—effectively mimicking short hair?

A woman’s hair done in an up-do looks great in most cases, as does short hair in some cases. Some may cite convenience, but wearing a dress is inconvenient (in most settings), and wearing heels is inconvenient (in all settings).

Some may say it keeps hair out of the way (which it does), but is a woman’s glory, and the example a woman’s long hair sets, and the physical modesty it provides, something that should be perceived as getting in the way?

Isn’t one woman putting her hair up the same as another woman looking for a loophole, and burning or perming her hair shorter? They both do it for the same reasons, though the spirit and motives may be different.

What about women who wear wigs? Why don’t they get the absolute longest wig they can, instead of the short ones that the wig wearing women in NTCC buy, and wear?

My point is not that women should have short hair, but that NTCC women should always wear their hair down, and not style it at all, since any styling (curling, perming, tying it in a pony or pig tail or bun, etc) will cause the hair to lay shorter on the body, or prevent it from being a covering (as in the case of a pony tail). I say NTCC women because NTCC is the one with the Bible-based doctrine, which they don’t completely, and logically, apply.

Permed hair will be as much as one foot shorter (depending on how long it is, and before all the breakage starts) than un-permed hair; how is this different than cutting the hair up to one foot shorter, when one Biblical consideration is that hair should be a covering?

Look on NTCC's 'official' website, on the 'Church Locator' link—how many wives wear their hair up; what is it covering? Sorry, the "Church Locator" links no longer show pictures of who is Pastoring what church (probably because of this article; NTCC is completely reactive after all).

As everyone knows by now, Verna always wears a wig. But she cuts it if it is too long. If she's going to wear a wig why wouldn't Verna buy and wear the absolute longest one she could buy? 

Also, what's the difference between wearing a wig and dying your hair? 

Also, Verna Davis could easily get enough money from Senior Pastor Davis to get a custom made wig that is down to her knees.

Also, why does God allow Black Women to have kinky hair, since this prevents their hair from being a covering? Does God not want Black women in heaven?

Any input?
