The true beauty in view has little to do with hairstyle, makeup, clothing, and even less about controlling any of these details. A Father will impart truth to his Daughter to form her character as a godly woman. He will seek to protect and provide for her in ways that allow her to live in peace, secure in his, and in God's love. Once she is married, her Husband will continue in this work, as the Scripture says, "Washing her with the water of God's Word.” When her heart is at peace, and secure, she WILL radiate a beauty that comes from deep inside. No clothing or hairstyle can improve on that sort of beauty. Rather, her inward beauty of character and godliness will be shown in those outward details as well. Douglas Wilson is spot on in this declaration. I have seen the principle worked out in his own family, three generations now. He has also taught his sons to do the same, as well as many other men who have learned from his words and example.
