Should women wear their hair up?
This from: http://emergentobserver.blogspot.com/ Article called "mary mary."
Interesting......
"The word hairdresser found in the quote above is a translation of the original megaddlela (one who elevates the hair); it’s a euphemism implying a prostitute or other woman of ill repute. Although Rabbeinu Tam, a medieval master of Jewish law, informs us that this is not a reference to the follower of Yeshua who would have lived 100 years earlier, commentary on the text nevertheless adds profound insight into our messianic story. It was Rabbeinu Tam’s grandfather Rashi who gave clarification on the word megaddlela establishing our current definition and understanding of the word.
For well over a thousand years there has been a debate regarding the identity of the woman who washed Yeshua’s feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. We’re given the name Miriam, but for generations it has been unclear whether or not this was the Miriam called Magdala. If we understand this name the way Rashi does. If we take the term to denote “one who elevates the hair” then perhaps the two characters are one and the same Miriam…it makes sense; we’re supposed to see the contrast. The story reads more beautifully this way. Miriam, the one who raised her hair above her convictions was transformed by the presence of the tzaddik Yeshua. Her hair, once treasured above all else, became like rags used to dry the feet of her master."

Re: Should women wear their hair up?
I am sure that in some small Southern church, it IS a heaven or hell issue.
"There will be NO married woman with their hair DOWN in heaven! Nay, not one!"
and in another church....
"There will be NO married woman with their hair UP in heaven! Nay, not one!"
It all reminds me of the early scene in Airplane!, "Remember, there will be no parking IN the yellow lines."
a minute later
"Remember, there will be no parking outside the yellow lines!"

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Should women wear their hair up?
Is there anyone who can give a biblical explanation for either way?

Lol.
No.
Well, you might find some support for wearing it down. Hard to dry Jesus' feet with your hair when it's pinned up in a bun.
