I'm not sure what a person's hair looks like has anything to do with true beauty.🤔
I just took it that He was thinking of...

1 Corinthians 11

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.

At least that is what popped into my mind when I made my first comment.

Unless you get a manicure and a pedicure.

but does OP want to deprive the CC Salon of customers.

How else are we going to survive? Just have a barbers instead?

I knew of a woman with long blond curly hair who was an associate Professor at a small college working in the art department. Her specialty was ceramics. It was later at night after her last class ended she was making up clay for the morning classes. She was pouring dry mix into a machine that works something like a concrete mixer. It had large paddles that would spin mixing up the dry mix and water.

As she poured the dry mix in, her hair somehow got caught up in one of the paddles and pulled her head first into the mixer. After some evidence of struggle, she eventually lost consciousness and died from the head trauma. Her body wasn't discovered till the following morning with the machine still running. Ka chunk, ka chunk, ka chunk....

just kiddin! Just some story I heard. But no, go ahead and grow long hair. It looks good!

I have long hair, and the first thing I do before working with anything like tools/machines. is pull it all up and safely out of the way.

I’ll have long hair as long as I can. But whenever my hair turns gray I’m probably gonna reconsider lol.

And the sign said,
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply."
So I tucked my hair up under my hat,
And I went in to ask him why.
He said, "You look like a fine upstanding young man,
I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that,

Huh, me working' for you."

what about Absalom in the Bible, came to a bad end, as did Samson
I think ladies were generally covering their hair with veils, but maybe they could do so because they were not going into battle/headbutting trees/pulling down pillars with their bare hands

just kinda looking beautiful while fetching water, cooking, cleaning, and having babies right?

My wife and I just read about Absalom yesterday in our complete reading of the bible. The guy had serious complex issues that were unfortunately resolved. Seems that David loved the ones the most that tried to hurt him and sought his life. Samson was another. The story had a happy ending though as He killed a lot of Philistines at the cost of his own life. He was a warrior and went out in style. Bad choice of woman companions though.

Women were held in contempt for sure in the bible. No respect whatsoever. Same is true in today's times and in most cultures.

Four pages now?

The OP has not said anything since... well, since the OP. I think this thread is dead.

Guy only wrote 8 posts in the almost one year that he has been a member. Not someone to be taken seriously for sure.

Wait, what? He has been here a year?

I checked his posts back when he started this thread, to get some idea of the kind of person we're dealing with here, but I didn't notice the timestamps on them.

His contributions have been scarce. A real light weight. Probably be 6 months or more before he responds to his own thread. Thinks that he knows what is best for women regarding hair length and other spiritual matters. A real joke.

What is the Internet term for such people? I don't think they're necessarily trolls, but they don't seem to be that interested in honest discussion. They prefer to throw opinions out there and let others hash them out.
