Interesting. From this passage it can be inferred that LS believes:

1.) women have access to freedom and liberty in the spirit realm because of their "compliance" (read submission, obedience) to scriptural commands surrounding God's relationship with man (read order of creation)...

2.) a woman's "compliance" (again, read submission) somehow advocates for the church community

3.) A woman has unique access to divine wisdom and insight, and authority in the angelic realm, because of a life of "compliance", and particulary in the contextual directive of having uncut hair.

These statements and positions are consistent with LS' declared interpretation of 1 Cor 11:10... But I still do not see anything in this passage that is "Holy Magic Hair"...

He attributes the woman to having a unique access to divine wisdom and insight that men do not and can not have. That is Holy Magic Hair. Other than that you might have a point that he did actually make his statement in 3.) broad enough to avoid an accusation this time of preaching that hair alone grants special authority and power, or even compliance to hair alone does. He actually says compliance (in general) and then (particulary) with uncut hair. However, the real problem is that every indication I see is that he isn't saying uncut hair grants the same kind of power and authority as keeping the other commandments. What I'm seeing is that he is saying keeping uncut gives a particular kind of power and authority that keeping the other commandments do not. This would also explain why he offers 100 anecdotes about uncut hairs power and not one about power in not commiting adultery. This would also explain why he says in 2.) that its a kind of power that men cannot have. Otherwise as Prax has been saying, if its simply about keeping commandments giving you power then why can't men have the same power as women due to their compliance to the commandments that pertain to them?
