What does the Bible say about women having dreads or braids?

Answer 1

Nothing. What The Bible does say is women should keep their head covered and there is an implication that this is with long hair. Actually the meaning is to stay covered by Christ as protection from the fallen Angels, who will be coming in the end times.

Answer:1 Timothy 2:9 - in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation,not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, [NKJV]

When this letter was written, braided hair, excessive jewelry and fine clothes were all associated with prostitution. Paul wasn't "condemning braids" so much as he was simply teaching that Christian women shouldn't make themselves look like harlots, whatever that may mean to current society.

Answer 2

The Bible does not specifically mention women having dreads or braids. However, there are verses that speak about modesty and simplicity in appearance, focusing on inner beauty rather than external adornment. Ultimately, it is a personal decision that should be made in prayerful consideration of these teachings.
