It's pretty disturbing to be 40yrs. old and be a chrome dome.

That was always the excuse to concentrate on the outward more than the inward. lol If it really were the case, then there would be just as many posts in inward issue topics.

I think what you said in answering is that it is basically personal preference that makes "you" feel good about seeing women with uncut hair. You think their dedication to God shines through it...

However, I doubt that society sees it in the same way as you do. I suspect it would be more akin to their reaction to Muslim women wearing head coverings. Something burdonsome... (NOT SAYING THAT IT IS FOR ALL WOMEN), just pointing out the pros and cons of long hair being considered beneficial to our witness in the community.
I wonder how many people have been converted to the Apostolic faith simply by seeing a woman's long hair?

I'm just curious - does a non-Apostolic woman who has long hair, or uncut hair, have the same power?

Jesus said make the inside of the cup first and the platter that the OUTSIDE of them may be clean ALSO. Mt. 23:26 The OUTWARD should reflect the inward.

Most outward problems are really inward problems that have been made apparent outwardly. Such as bobbed hair a sign of rebellion against Divine order. Long hair was the sign of authority that signifies Headship. But feminist both in and out of the church reject submission to masculine authority. Thier cut hair is saying NO MAN is going to tell me what to do.

What is a non-submissive woman with long hair saying?

Her hair is a witness against her! It tells her she is to be in submission and testifies that she is but is not thus her own hair will judge her.
