Absolutely. If you want to ignore that the scriptures about women's hair were dealing with a particular cultural issue dealing with the bald headed temple prostitutes then you must ignore the cultural context here as well.
Heaven forbid that anyone would look at some of these things in the epistles as examples of how to deal with issues rather than applying their answers to their particular issues to us today.
What gets lost is that important distinction between moral law which does not change and cultural circumstances which do.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
