It seems like you lady phatmassers really don't like doing your hair before church!

Give me a break. I've been in convents for three years, wearing a veil. Now my hair looks like dogfood and I don't have the money to go to the hairdresser. I wash it and brush it and consider it lucky to get that much attention since it was nearly shaved before!

Because modesty feels beautiful.

Reason #1 If you woke up late and did not have time to style your hair (brushing only made it worse), that little triangle lace hides all hair-do imperfections!

My referance was to this past Sunday, when I had to get up and drive my younger brothers to a local Monestary(they serve) for 6:30 am Mass. I took a shower before I went to bed so my hair was horriably poofy when I woke. I did the best I could but (due to lack of time) straigtning it was OUT of the question. So I could either a)straigten my hair, with hair spray, ect..time -10.min with straigtner already heated OR b)brush it out as best I could and pin a couple strands up and make it to mass on time. The latter was chosen. My hair wasn't that bad, but my ego was glad to have it covered.

16) It's a helpful reminder for myself that it's not about my great hair, it's about Christ!

[Winchester]

Go, go, go, go mantilla.

[sacredheartandbloodofjesus]

Im gonna have to bust a freestyle to make it mad clear
that if you wear a mantilla to Mass you might get a cheer
but have no fear, its not as rare as it might appear
When you wear your mantilla and you look kinda wacky
just keep in mind that it covers up your acne

So now that I laid down this freestyle fo all of yall
I hope the females reading will walk, run and crawl
to their closet and bust out they old laced up shawl
throw it on they head start the car got to Mass and
endure the looks like you from Mars.

I always brush my hair, and periodically pin it up before Mass.
#16)If kids are staring at me, it's becasue of my veil, not my hair!
#17)The boy behind me won't get inappropriate thoughts from staring at my hair, it's hidden!
#18)If I hold a baby during Mass, it can't grab my hair and pull!

Quite true. And why I'll likely switch back to my headscarf instead of the mantilla once this baby is born and starts grabbing. My son doesn't usually pull at my mantilla, though there are times when he does because he's fascinated with it, and with my hair. Even though he sees me with it at least once a week, sometimes more than that.

It's also a reminder to me to be humble, and to remember in Whose Presence I am.
