Yes, it is permissible for a Muslim girl to dye her hair black as long as it does not violate religious guidelines, such as being done for the purpose of imitating a specific non-Muslim group or culture. It is important to consult with a religious scholar or authority for specific guidance.

Did the pilgrims wear outfits that had color in them or did they wear outfits that were just plain black and white?

The stereotypical pilgrim wears black and white. We know that they actually wore color because black dye was practically impossible to get in the U.S and was very expensive, and they were poor. They didn't wear a rainbow, they just didn't wear black and white all the time. We obviously don't know exactly what they wore because we weren't there and they aren't here!


How did they make clothes in the time of Jesus?

During the time in which Jesus lived, many of the women wore similar clothing to those of practicing Muslim women today. Their heads were covered and clothing extended from their necks to their feet, not showing their skin.


Do Buddhist monks all shave their heads and if so why?

When the prince who was to become the Buddha left his palace to seek a way beyond ageing, sickness and death, it is said that one of the first things that he did was to shave off his hair and beard and put on the yellow cloth . Buddhist monks always completely shave their head and beard, showing their commitment to the Holy Life (Brahmacariya) of one gone forth into the homeless life. (In India some ascetics tear out their hair, while others never touch it so that it becomes a tangled mass.) A rule states that a bhikkhu should not allow his hair to grow beyond a certain length or time, so he will shave usually at least once a fortnight or month, sometimes more frequently. To do this he uses his razor, which is also one of his requisites. 'Hair-of-the-head' (kesa) is one of the five parts of the body mentioned in the ordination ceremony and is used to recollect the true nature of the body. The bhikkhu is also not allowed to dye or pluck out any grey hairs, for they are useful reminders of old-age and impermanence.


What color assosiates with royalty or spirituality?

It was originally more of a red color, a deep crimson. The dye was quite expensive, being derived from a species of sea snail in the region of ancient Phoenicia, and only the very rich could afford it. As a result, it became associated with people at the very top of the socio-economic ranks. Over time, the preferred shade became the one we know as purple today, but the name was kept, owing to its royal associations.


What is the religious meaning of red?

To understand the significance of the colour red in religion it is important to learn the history of red dye. The following is an excerpt from the book "A perfect Red" by Amy Butler Greenfield. I have used it here as a short introduction into that history. "A Perfect Red recounts the colorful history of cochineal, a legendary red dye that was once one of the world's most precious commodities. Treasured by the ancient Mexicans, cochineal was sold in the great Aztec marketplaces, where it attracted the attention of the Spanish conquistadors in 1519. Shipped to Europe, the dye created a sensation, producing the brightest, strongest red the world had ever seen. Soon Spain's cochineal monopoly was worth a fortune. Desperate to find their own sources of the elusive dye, the English, French, Dutch, and other Europeans tried to crack the enigma of cochineal. Did it come from a worm, a berry, a seed? Could it be stolen from Mexico and transplanted to their own colonies? Pirates, explorers, alchemists, scientists, and spies -- all joined the chase for cochineal, a chase that lasted more than three centuries. A Perfect Red tells their stories -- true-life tales of mystery, empire, and adventure, in pursuit of the most desirable color on earth. " As the book tells, the luxurious red colour became widely sought after and could only be afforded by those with great wealth. Monarchs, nobles and courtiers would dress in garments dyed with cochineal; it became a symbol of wealth, majesty and power. For exactly this reason the church embelished itself with items of red clothing and decoration. If Christ and his followers could be portrayed in this majestic colour the church could reaffirm its status within an increasingly faithless world. To this day the colour red is synonymous with luxury and decadance in Royal, political and religious establishments the world around.
