I read about that in the bible. Paul is actually addressing some cultural issues the church in Corinth were having. Some of the women cut their hair, thus making it short or shorter, and refuse to cover. I think they were behaving like the heathens around them and bringing it into the church. Paul was saying that God gave women a [natural covering] which is her hair, so there is no need for a woman to cut off her hair because hair serves a purpose as a covering for the head. Those women who cut their hair need a covering so they either had to wrap it with a scarf or something. The "long hair" is pertaining to uncut hair.
Paul also told the men that in nature they shouldn't let their hair grow long. A lot of the heathens in Corinth were gay and whatnot and many men there allowed their hair to grow long and some of the members were bringing this type of culture into the church even if it didn't reflect their culture.
About my hair... I always had short hair. I didn't get a relaxer until I was twelve and all my hair fell out. I did the Jherri curl thing and my hair grew but only to a certain length. Of course when I stop the gherri curl, my hair fell out. I did the Wave Nouveau and that took the cake. My hair actually fell out, not broken off, but fell out. I had extreme thinness and baldness. It took several years for my hair to grow back thick. I tried the weave and braids but that didn't do anything but made my hair dry and fall out. I went natural in 2005 and my hair is at its healthiest, though it is still short in nature and takes forever to grow.
. You are a meek person. I had people over the years who tried to make me feel bad with that scripture as if I'm inadequate or lacking something spiritual because I don't have "long" hair. Don't give up and I'll see you around on the boards.
Who cares though they are all in jail now
