I dyed my hair last week. First time since November, before that it was a couple of years ago.
Why, vanity? Maybe... it was faded by my hair colour kind of fading. What colour, dark brown.. the colour my gair was before my thyroid messed up. Who am I trying to impress? No one. I just want to look a little tidier than I have been. Strengthens your testimony if you don't look a mess.
As for make up, I wear very little. Just enough to not look tired.
Modest? I hope so. My body is never on show. Legs, shoulders, chest covered
Unfortunately, my clothes are old. Which I don't mind (don't like to give much thought to what I wear as long as its smart enough for each situation). However, my friend thinks I need to go out and buy new clothes, especially some dresses. I said if I wear dresses people more likely to look at me and I don't want to draw attention incase it causes sin.
I think dyeing my hair was ok. You don't want people to think your unhinged for following christ. If you look too frumpy they aren't likely to want to know more about Christ. It's like deliberately making yrself look like your fasting and making yourself a spectacle to not make any effort at all.
It takes me about 5-8 minutes to get ready in the morning. 20 for church if I'm straightening my hair. Which has only been done a few times in the last year. If not 5-8 minutes.
