Both - the hair is holy, but she has to be a heathen since she's wearing pants!

I often wonder how many times a woman's long long long long LONG hair becomes more of a stubbling block to some. And by that I mean....when the emphasis is put on longer being better...I remember there was an episode of American Idol that I caught (I don't regularly watch it...in fact I rarely ever have), but there was this girl and her mom with long long long long long LONG hair to the floor and of course they did not wear it up.

It seemed to me they wanted it to be seen. I don't think the world looks at that and says "wow...holy"....

But many of us do. There should never be anything we focus on. Nothing of ourselves we should focus on. It should be just Jesus we focus on.

And this is why I am really against that "power in her hair" doctrine or the magic hair doctrine. Wrong emphasis. Pretty soon we can end up measuring ourselves by ourselves....women that can't grow long long long LONG hair are meant to feel inferior

LOL!

She could drape it over her arm very nicely. She might have to wrap it around her arm to keep it from dragging on the floor though.

A missionary friend of mine had hair past her ankles. I saw it! I stood there in amazement and just thanked God that mine never grew much past my waist. That was plenty long enough.

Then there are those that "carry" their hair over their arms like it is something to be "honored" or "paraded" to be seen.

Just seems something is misplaced in this.

It is and it to me is absurd. Also something this reminds me of....the "shield" bearers or whatever they are called. In some churches, mostly black, the preacher has some one that "waits" on them and carries their bible like it was the ark of the covenant or something
