The connection is that womens hair is to her glory. God does not like to have His glory turned to shame. How is cutting your glory off NOT turning it to something shameful?
Don't bring up an exception and try to subvert the rule by so doing. No one will quibble with a cancer patient not having hair. Clearly the subject is about those that cavalierly cut off their hair.
Misinterpret clear scripture? Angela, do I have to fetch Strong's and parse every word in that passage? I thought you were surely one of those that had enough discernment to know the bible isn't about "customs" or "culture".
The bible is about serving God.
Paul didn't say "some of the things I write are commandments"...he said "the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord"
Everything he wrote God wanted us to know today.
Are you going to tell me that part of the bible was meant only for people back in those days?
Hogwash!

Please reread my signature. I'm really really guileless, so this isn't some kind of "let me get him to see it my way" kind of thing. BUT, I still don't get what you're saying clearly. Do you want women to cut off our hair to give God more glory? (Honest. Really don't get what you're saying.)
Or, if we should cut off our hair, then what in the world do you want men to do with their glory?
1 Cor. 11:7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.
I've already mentioned my hair is short. I'd still rather not have hubby cut me off to glorify God, because I'm his glory. But, I'm also not sure that's what you're saying.

One of the points of the Nazirite vow was to be set apart for a season unto God, to act and appear differently than normal.
And when they had fulfilled their vow, they shaved their head to distinguish between the vow and "normal" life.
Numbers 6:1-8, 18
"Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When a man or woman makes a [a]special vow, the vow of a [b]Nazirite, to [c]dedicate himself to the Lord, 3 he shallabstain from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar, whether made from wine or strong drink, nor shall he drink any grape juice nor eat fresh or dried grapes. 4 All the days of his [d]separation he shall not eat anything that is produced by the grape vine, from the seeds even to the skin.
5 ‘All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall pass over his head. He shall be holy until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord; he shall let the locks of hair on his head grow long.
6 ‘All the days of his separation to the Lord he shall not go near to a dead person. 7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die, because his separation to God is on his head. 8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the Lord."
18 The Nazirite shall then shave his dedicated head of hair at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and take the dedicated hair of his head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings.
