My Take

Do you ever look at anyone’s hair except your own in the mirror? Maybe more women than men do. I imagine most trained hair dressers do. I was one of those once, a long time ago. I’ve seen a lot of hair since then. A sign on a hole-in-the-wall family beauty shop said, “Old-Fashioned Barbering and New Age Hair-Cuts. Being sort of critical I thought design would go better, but maybe this family shop is not quite there, yet. Because I’m a woman of a certain age, I think that’s fine.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m fascinated with the new styles, fascinated and sometimes repelled, but who cares what I think?

People wear hair a certain way for one of three reasons,

1. They want to be in style,

2. They want to make an identity statement, or

3.They found a classic look that suits them and they stick with it.

An example of the first is the aging rider who roars by on his motorcycle with a skinny braid hanging down from under his helmet. Although I’m sure I’d like him as a person I always have an itch to snip the braid off at the roots. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have a gray braid like that down my back, I just don’t have the patience to let my hair grow long enough for a braid.

One example of a classic style that lasts forever is the page-boy, which has been around at least since the crusades when it was a boy style.

I’m glad finger waves, sausage curls, and blue hair are gone. Would you believe I actually learned how to do all that? Believe me a good finger wave is hard to do. What if hairdressers to the movie stars decide to bring those configurations back again?

I wonder what our hair will look like in Heaven. Maybe we won’t even have hair. Will hair matter? I suppose we’ll have to wait and see. I know one thing, God knows exactly how many hairs are on my head right now, and on yours too.(Luke 12:7)
