Long hair -Reply

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

	Being a Science Student myself, I must agree to the below article.
I know of ladies in our church that never cut their hairs and they never
ever complained that they have any problems with split ends.

>Split ends are actually the direct result of cutting hair.  Hair that
>grows naturally from the formation of the hair follicle and remains
>uncut until that follicle dies and the hair falls out will have a
>tapered shape.  The young hair is extremely fine and flexible at the
>tip, like the tip of a branch of a tree.  As the hair grows, the
>follicle enlarges, and the diameter of the hair increases, like the
>trunk of a tree.
>
>When the wind blows on a tree, it flexes, and remains intact, because
>it was designed to bend, with the most flexibility at the small
>diameter tip, and increasing rigidity towards the trunk.  Hair is the
>same way.  God designed your hair to be flexible without breaking by
>making it finer at the tip.
>
>What happens when you cut the hair?  You cut off this flexible tip and
>then you loose the flexibility.  If you cut a tree part way down from
>the top, you leave a squared off stump that is prone to splitting when
>the wind blows and bends the tree.
>
>The same thing happens with your hair.  Cutting off split ends only
>perpetuates the problem.  If you will be patient and let your hair
>grow naturally, then eventually all the cut off strands will have
>their follicles die a natural death of old age and be replaced by new
>follicles that will grow naturally shaped tapered flexible hair
>strands that will not split.  When you cut it, you cut off not only
>the split ends of the hair that had been previously cut, but also the
>newer strands that had a natural flexible tapered tip, thereby ruining
>them like the others.
>
>Most people's hair grows at about 6 inches per year, although this
>varies quite a bit from person to person.  If your hair grows 3 feet
>long, then it would take about 6 years for all the cut off, split
>ended hair strands to be replaced with naturally shapped hair strands.

>This is why a woman's hair is her glory.  It is a testimony to her
>*MANY YEARS* of faithfulness!  You do not get beautiful long hair with
>no split ends the moment you get the Holy Ghost, and you will never
>get it by cutting.  It takes years of faithfulness to holiness
>standards to get that Pentecostal "look" that makes our women the most
>beautiful in the world.

>Of course, women that have been raised in church all their lives and

>the first place, but that is as much a testimony to their parents as
>it is to themselves.
