When they cut it in...Is long–is long hair when they cut it in front? (Now, wait a minute, let me get this here.) Is long hair when they...
184 Well, I–I...Maybe they mean this: “Is it long hair any longer when they cut it in front?” Not any longer, they’ve cut it off. See? But like the man that had the trousers cut them off three times and still too short. What say? What say? [Brother Branham has conversation with someone in audience–Ed.] Oh, that’s what they’re talking about. As I tease my little girl, she said...The “booms” I call them, you know, bangs, or whatever it is, you know, across the front here.
185 Well, I imagine those kids that’s cutting their hair in front...You, maybe your mother could tell you about that, see, if she wants you to do that way. I think it’d look kinda–kinda a little bit like a woman was looking through the rear-view mirror if she passed about twenty-five years old and wanted to cut them off in front like that, look like some little kid. Look on out here where you’re going, sis, not where you’ve been. See?
186 And now, but cutting the hair, I–I–I–I’ll tell you this. I can’t–I–I ain’t got no–no Scripture to say that you can cut so much of it and can’t do the other. I–I haven’t got no Scripture for that, I–I couldn’t tell you that, sister, or brother, ever who it is.
187 I say one thing. I wished...Now, I know my kids has done that too, Rebekah and Sarah, I seen when they cut their hair off here in front, and plait it back here in the back, and make these things across the front, like this. I–I don’t, I–I...Now, not holding them. See? No, sir! To me, I wished they didn’t even put a scissors on their hair at all. But when they got all long, hanging down like this, and just cut the front of it out of their eyes, little kids with...I–I wouldn’t know whether that’d be...I wouldn’t think so. See? But when you get...If you can, I...for you sisters, I’d just let it the way the Lord made it. See?
188 And of course, I know women wants to look pretty; that’s nature, and that–that’s what they should be. See? They should be that way. And so, that’s fine, but just don’t–don’t... otherwise like this, don’t look like the world (see?); don’t pattern after the world. Things wrong...You want it cut off, like that, but don’t cut your hair now. If you got the braids hanging down, or–or whatever it is in your hair, you leave it long. Don’t cut it like it’s going to look like the world. If you’re just them little girls...
189 My uncle used to have a little girl up there in–in New York. She had the prettiest hair. It’s kind of dark brown and she wear her plaits...My mother used to be able to...Her plaits hit down here in the back of her knees. And this little girl had plaits like that too; her name was Jacqueline. And she had combed part of it down like this and cut it off like this. And I was...It’s been about fifteen, eighteen, twenty years ago. And I used to wonder, why didn’t she just comb the whole thing back, it’d look prettier than having it just like, off here like these modern Beatles they have now days, you know. And a...Oh, that’s right, I don’t believe I would do it. Anything look like them Beatles, that looks like out of the world, so let...just leave that alone. Yeah!
