I see no indication the church discussed in this thread is UPC.

Just a quick FYI....
Using real or fake hair to enhance, lift up, support, create a fuller style----whatever, has always been called a "rat". I don't know why...
I remember my mother having an odd roll of "hair" in her drawer. She no longer used it when I was a young child. She explained that she and others used it to roll their hair at back of head,(and then it was secured). and this was pre WW II.

Re: Another HMH Miracle: Did I do this?
I also recall all the hair forms used in the 60's. The big hair do's were in fashion at ABI but the really extreme beehives weren't worn in the North! 
 It was an interesting era and there are some odd tales to tell.

Haha--I thought the same thing!
My sisters (at least the two oldest ones), mother and Grandma saved hair out of their hairbrushes to create their "rats." A few years ago, my sister bought my Mom a little antique bowl that was actually created for collecting loose hair! Crazy! 
I can't even stand to clean out my hairbrush--let alone reuse the loose hair!

Re: Another HMH Miracle: Did I do this?
Wow--it took me several different tries at the proper wording in Google to get this to turn up, BUT I found it! Apparently the little bowl is called a "hair receiver" [ingenious!], and this one resembles the one my Mom has.

This rates only slightly interesting and mortifyingly [<--I made that up] horrifying. I feel a little awkward and traumatized that I even possess this information about hair collections.

That's amazing!
My mom 'saved' her hair, too. Plus, she'd go to a costume store and buy 'crepe'. They'd fluff that out and use it as a base for the hairdos.

Keep pulling your hair like that, and you'll have the base for a good "rat". Shall I send you a "hair receiver"?

I never said it was. I was speaking about the magic hair doctrine in general and its two major promoters, Ruth Reider Harvey and L Stoneking are both UPC and that is the movement I was speaking about its impact on. I have no clue what the religous affiliation of the woman in the anecdotal story that was the basis of this thread.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Aren't you glad we live in an era that doesn't require beehives in order to be beautiful????
