Paul was wrong, unless he meant 'current customs'.

How does nature teach long hair for women and short hair for men? Both men and women's hair will naturally grow long if left alone. If it were nature, mens hair would only grow to a short length.

One would be correct if they said, "Nature teaches us that men should have a beard and women are to be smooth faced".

Sometimes nature is wrong about that too....LOL!

[Pastor DTSalaz]

No reason can be given, in the nature of things, why the woman should wear long hair and the man not; but the custom prevails extensively everywhere, and nature, in all nations, has prompted to the same course. “Use is second nature;” but the usage in this case is not arbitrary, but is founded in an anterior universal sense of what is proper and right. A few, and only a few, have regarded it as comely for a man to wear his hair long. Albert Barnes

Two possibilities

1. Many men by nature loose their hair either partially or entirely.

2. It is the natural desire for woman to use her hair to attract, and beautify herself. It makes her glorious.

So do many women, but I disagree that it's by nature. It mostly has to do with nutrition or genetics.
