Is it OK to dye my hair?

stacymay · Jun 14, 2012

I personally don't see anything bad about it, but my knowledge of specific things like that in the Christian religion is pretty minimal.

I know some people are against things like that, but is it OK for a Christian to do it? I'm dyeing it from dirty blonde (my natural color) to black because I have it dyed temporarily black right now and I prefer it a lot to my original color.

Does it really matter if we change our hair color, or is that bad, like "lying" or denying the way God made you? Seems insignificant to me, but I can't trust my own opinion apparently.

If you want to be strict Christian, then you should study your Bible a lot more. Some people will condemn it as worldly and vain, but they will condemn most things (well, most things are worldly and vain).

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

That said, I've dyed my hair since I was 15.

If wether or not to dye your hair is even among the signifigant ethical struggles you are dealing with, you are either on the right path (have few ethical problems to deal with), or you have missed what is most important (are overlooking more important issues).

dyeing one's hair from brown to black is never a good idea. Looks fake and hard. Never go darker, go lighter or leave alone.

Its ok as long as you have extra money to pay for it, but if you are getting assistance
its not a good option with the small amount of money you have.

Cool, thanks dudes

. I'm going to do it, I don't know why but sometimes I need to ask people first - I'm not good at making decisions and I've been told not to trust my own opinions about things.

I would never dye (kill)

my hair. My hair has never been permed or dyed and it is SO healthy and long. Would never do anything to it. I do have a crimper and curling iron I use very, very sparingly, just playing around.

I see no problem with it.

Natural hair is always best I think.

I've dyed my hair since I was fifteen. I don't think there is anything wrong with hit.

That's what I said until I hennaed my hair the first time. Went from a natural (dishwater dull) blonde with grays coming in on top of my head to gorgeous auburn red that turns flame-colored in the sun. Won't go back to natural, or to the chemical colors I was using at first (waste of $$ because they fade, whereas henna is permanent), for anything.

I don't think the Bible says we shouldn't dye our hair, but I am content to leave my hair just the way God made it. He is much wiser than I am and I would rather He decide what I look like.

I haven't had any problems with fading. One benefit of the dye for me was that it coarsened my hair a bit - naturally, my hair is baby fine, limp and flyaway, now it is fuller.

Plus I like the color - it suits me. My sister is a natural blonde where I went from natural mouse to reddish blonde. It used to annoy her to no end when we were together and people would ask her and not me if she colored her hair, heh, heh, heh.
