Faith Q&A › Youth Concerns › Social, Contemporary, and general issues

Is there anything wrong with having different types of hairstyles, because, for example, in Leviticus 19:27, it says, “You shall not shave the sides of your head...”?

The answer

The problem is not with the hairstyle, but with the essence of the person inside. When you cut your hair, what are you thinking about? Who are you trying to imitate? If you want to be different or distinguished, be different in your personality, your success, your achievements. The way you look; your hairstyle and your dressing, reveals how you think, and what you think about. The church cares about cutting the sins from your heart and mind rather than the hairs of your head
