[On The Wheel]

I'm looking for documentation concerning the "uncut hair" doctrine in church history. I'm not looking to discuss the scriptural issues, as that has already been done here multiple times.

Up until recent times, it seems that long hair has been the accepted norm for Christian ladies since the time of the Apostles. However, did ladies ever trim it in any way while still leaving it long? It has been stated that the "uncut hair" doctrine is a new one. That would mean there is documentation that shows this. Anecdotal information is welcomed, but I would really like someone to point me toward the correct historical or theological research.

My own research shows that the "uncut hair" doctrine is indeed an anomaly in our time. But that research may be incomplete.
