I am sure their hair follicles were perfectly healthy, but why would God give them hair? How long was their hair? Was their hair the same length?
Did Adam have a beard? If he had hair then why would God create him with a close shaved beard? Did they have hair on the rest of their bodies? How hairy were their bodies?
After they had been alive for a few months, how did they cut their hair? They didn't have any scissors. They probably didn't even have a dull knife. Cutting their hair with a rock sounds kind of painful.
I certainly don't have the answers, but this is actually a very interesting question.
With as much debate as I've seen over how short a man needs to keep his hair to be considered a man, and how long a woman needs to keep her hair to still be considered feminine enough to meet Biblical standards, I would actually love to know the answers, if they were ever available to us.
Now this thread has me wondering if God issued some kind of decree over how long or short Adam and Eve were to keep their hair, as one of the ways to "adequately" display their masculinity/femininity (besides nudity, of course
.)
Did God tell Adam he had to cut his hair every 3 weeks?! And did He also tell Eve she had to keep her hair at least shoulder-length?!
It's a fascinating speculation, especially since I went to Christian schools while I was growing up and they were very adamant about how short the boys had to keep their hair in order to keep from being seen as obvious heathen troublemakers.
One of the boys in the grade ahead of me grew a "tail" one year when they were popular... and our teacher promptly cut it off during class. (And yes, the boy's mother had a field day over that one.)
