I do not think it gives me more power than anyone else, and neither do I look on in awe at a lady with loooong tresses dragging the floor, or getting caught in her legs as she walks. Most long-haired women that I know wear it wadded up in a knot on her neck-MOST unbecoming, I might add.
When I see that mass of hair, I do NOT think,"OH, what GLORY." I think, "My oh, my- what a burden for her. Poor thing".
Let's face it- long hair is cumbersome and a burden. It's a pain to wash, a pain to curl, and a pain to fix...it has caused me to shed many tears over the years.
I don't know of many Apostolic women that comb the knots out of their hair,and praise God the whole time they are combing...LOL

Apostolic or not there are many women that have long (even uncut) hair by choice and not because they are told to or go to a church that teaches the same.
