I love this blog!! I got saved in a Pentecostal church Sep 08 and I had certain convictions that nobody else had. I felt I the Holy Spirit telling me I didn't need makeup or I shouldn't dye my hair...and many more. I stopped wearing makeup and was giggled at and told that it's not the Holy Spirit that was telling me this it was the devil trying to condemn me and that I should wear the makeup I looked so pretty with it on anyways bringing out all the green in my eyes (I'm hispanic and with makeup they look super green without they look honey)I felt silly for thinking it was the Holy Spirit and started wearing it again but just not as much.

I'm 27 and getting white hair tons of ladies dye their hair. I said I won't and that for so long I wanted highlights :) God was finally giving them to me!! YAY! A few months ago I was convicted wearing pants and longed to wear skirts and dresses...but don't have the money to buy any. I wanted to be modest and had been window shopping( internet window shopping) This conviction to wear skirts or dresses ALL the time was also "not right" I know they were well meaning and their hearts are in the right place. I had been going to church there since I was saved.....

I stopped at the end of Feb and just found a Pentecostal Church last week.....well this one was different....I went in their with makeup and all as well as wearing the nicest capris I own....Looking around I noticed the women all looked like the woman that I felt I should look like!! No makeup, dresses/skirts and long beautiful undyed and uncut hair! This Sunday Pastor mentioned they were Apostolic Pentecostal! I had a dream the night before about Apostolic but had no idea what it meant. After church we talked and I asked him.

I love my old church and am thankful to the Pastor and everyone there. I know God has lead me here and wish they could understand and not say that I'm out of God's will and I can't be saved unless it's in the church I got saved in. I KNOW that I'm in the right church this is what God has called me to be! My convictions I learned ARE biblical! I was so happy when I told pastor my convictions and he told me that they were biblical! I had felt so silly before and now I'm in a place that preaches that!! My pastors wife gave me a good book to read it's called Power Before the Throne. I read it in less than 2 days. It is SOOOOOOO good! It talks about the cutting of hair and even mentions the makeup. My old pastor gave a sermon when I stopped wearing makeup or around that time that some women need paint on the barn. That book talks about how we don't paint flowers and such....well I don't want to spoil the book if you haven't read it. Sorry I'm going on and on I'm just so excited to have come across this blog!!!

Reader Response: Hair Testimony by Priscilla

Hello ladies! This is a short testimony from Pricilla. I hope that is blesses and encourages you to keep uncut hair! Priscilla, God bless you and thank you for sharing your story!

Hair Testimony
I'm not sure how to start, so i'll just start. *8.) (that's a little emoticon of me with my afro, glasses, a mole and a smile...)

About 2 years ago, I'd finally had it with my hair. I'd been toying around with the idea of going natural for a while (mostly because I was lazy sad to say), and even maybe wearing some braids. I've been apostolic since the womb so cutting it wasn't an option. I'd even worn some braids, and they were cute for a minute but too heavy and i had some thinning on the sides of my hair (it's still a little bit thin, but you can' really tell). I'd been going on and off natural for a while and finally decided, No More Straightening! No More Hot Combs!

I'd had a perm a long time ago and it just ruined my hair. It looked like it'd been hacked to pieces, so I definitely wasn't going that route again. My perm had long since grown out so, to the shower! (it's easier for me to do it that way.) I kind of played around with a few products but finally got tired of the build up I still had.

Recently I started making my own hair dressing. I used 100% raw shea butter, 100% organic cocoa butter (not palmers. it has mineral oil in it and i don't want to clog my pores. the cocoa butter I use has a strong and delicious chocolate scent), a little olive oil and a little coconut oil (both also 100% organic and cold pressed if i can get it. (I'm thinking of adding avocado oil. I've done it in the past and I think it adds a nice light flowery scent, but that could be just me).

To oil my scalp I use olive oil and coconut oil. I love that I can wash my hair whenever I want and not be concerned because I just straightened it last week. As for straightening it, i only try to straighten it about once or twice a year, usually during the winter because it holds longer. My hair is (and always has been) about shoulder blade length, although i'd like it longer.

I love my natural hair! It's beautiful and I think that more women would be happier with their hair if they'd do the same. I also believe God honors me because I don't cut my hair. I just can't do it.
