In response to Sister Alvear's question as to any changing their mind. I'm familiar with an author, who graduated with me from BC ,who wrote a book about hair that is "quoted" often, who wishes he had never written the book.
That's the problem with writing a book before the Spirit gets through teaching you something. You may want to go back and "edit" your work when you've grown a little wiser.

I used to be one of those people who preached that doctrine on the internet (and elsewhere to church members and such) for over two years until I was forced to study it for myself. Then I found out what the Bible really said on the issue. I was told differently all my life. Sadly, I believed it without reading it for myself.

I Corinthians 11
6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.(NIV)
6For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.(ESV)
6 And if a woman be not covered [For if a woman be not veiled, or covered], be she polled; and if it is foul thing to a woman to be polled, or to be made bald, cover she her head. (WNT)
quick question:
If I cut the tip of my finger off did I cut my finger???
In context with what you posted above, the correct question would be:
If I cut the tip of my finger off, did I cut my finger off?
The answer would be no. Your finger is there, just the tip is gone.
The verses you quoted above speak of hair being cut OFF, not just being cut. There is a difference.
