Great haircut with good truth.

While getting my haircut my hair dresser (Jennifer) and I always talk about random stuff. Today she was telling all the myths about hairstyle.

1. People have oily hair. She said the truth is people don't have oily hair, they have oily scalps. People often don't want to put product in their hair because they think it will make their hair more oily. She said the opposite is true. You want to put some kind of product in you hair because it will block the oil from your scalp to get on your hair.

2. It's good not to wash your hair everyday. (She shouldn't have told me this, because now it just encourages me a shower less.) But much shampoo to your hair if harmful. She said people feel the need to wash their hair to restyle it, but that isn't true. She said it doesn't matter if your hair is wet or dry all you have to do is apply heat. By applying heat to your hair you can manipulate it however you want. You can use a hair dyer, curling iron, straighten, rollers, etc. It just needs heat.

She told me several other things, but I don't remember there because I was too stuck on the revelation that "heat" can be a game changer in hair styles. Then that got me thinking about real life. How applying heat to my life everything changes. My Lord allows trials and hard times to happen to reshape my heart and my focus.

"In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith- of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire- may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." -1 Peter 1:6-7


There is funny saying that I like. "Christian are like tea bags, you can tell how strong they are by putting them in hot water."
