Kae,
This is the point I always make and immediately get slammed as suggesting there are no true convictions about those things.
This is only my opinion but I believe the vast majority of "conviction" about dress codes, hair cutting, etc are psychological conditioning.
For most to violate what has been pounded in your head as things that determine your godliness and worth to God naturally brings feelings of guilt. That is not conviction.
I am always amused when some conservative backslides and starts doing things they didn't before then feel guilty, get back in church, then try to claim that they "went lib" and then saw the error of their ways and came back home to clothesline Oneness Pentecostalsim.
The first thing I ask those folks is were you connected to a church during your "lib" time? Were you praying and studying God's word the same as before? Most times the answer is no and that lets me know they were just backslid during that time and had not "gone liberal".
