Well, God created jewels if you want to get technical.
I think that if you really want to be literal, Paul condemned elaborate hairstyles in the very scriptures that people like to use against jewelry. Broided hair was specifically talking about elaborate hairstyles.
Yes, an elaborate hairstyle is an adornment. If you add feathers and doodads, even more so.
If God's creation (hair) is beautiful
naturally, why not just wear it hanging down your back the way God created it? God didn't create it in twists and curls all over your head. God didn't create bobby-pins.
Now, to be clear, I don't think adornment or jewelry is a sin, so I'm not condemning the hairstyles. But I
absolutely see it as a contradiction. I am firm and unswaying on that opinion.
