I done went through that. Sure, I don’t care, just keep it long. See? I don’t…I know you’re…I don’t mean that to be “jokey” with you girls. See? That’s sincere. You—you—you want to know, and you’re asking me. You got confidence in me or you wouldn’t be asking me that. Now, I got confidence in you, Sister, that what I’d tell you, I believe you’d do.

I can’t back that up with the Scripture. If you want…If you haven’t got pretty, curly hair and you’re a woman, you want to look pretty for your husband, for your boyfriend, or something like that, I—I can’t tell you about curling your hair or—or what did they call it, tinting it or something? I—I have nothing to say about that; that’s up to you. You see? I—I…You just, between…You just ask the Lord what to do, He—He’ll tell you that, ’cause I—I’m trying to explain things by Scripture. See?
