Hi Jennhenry , I dye my hair , I dye it back to its original colour as my hair is going white . I've been doing that since my late forties . I'm sure it's a vanity on my part and I'm resolved to stop doing it eventually . I also draw my eyebrows in a bit and use mascara , some years ago I had chemotherapy and lost all my hair , it grew back but no where near as thick as it used to be so my eyebrows and eyelashes are very sparse and faint . I don't wear any other make up .
Absolutely. 1 Peter 3:3-4 As today, society's focus is on outward beauty. Such beauty was achieved in fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, and beautiful clothes. But Peter contrasted putting beautiful "things" on the outside to make oneself beautiful, versus revealing the natural inner beauty that a Christian woman should have because of Christ.
This passage teaches that women should not count on their beauty coming from outward adornments, not that women can't braid their hair or wear gold jewelry or nice clothes. (Paul wrote almost the exact words to the women in the Ephesian church; see 1 Ti 2:9-10.) Christian women should not be obsessed by fashion or overly concerned with their outward appearance. On the other hand, neither should they be so unconcerned that they do not bother to care for themselves. Beauty and adornments have their place, but they must be kept in proper perspective. Christian women should let their beauty come from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Their beauty should come from their personality, and the attitudes, thoughts, and motivations that are revealed in words and actions. For believers, this inner self has been transformed by the Holy Spirit. To be "gentle" means showing humility, consideration of others, not insisting on one's own rights, not being pushy or overly assertive (see also Gal 5:23). To be "quiet" refers to the same attitude as that described by "gentle," also focusing on not causing dissensions with inappropriate words or gossip.
