a commentary
"In
1 Corinthians 11:15 it says that a woman's hair is given to her for a covering, which can also be translated, "instead of a covering." Women express their response to authority with their hair. Long hair symbolizes submission to the authority of the Right Man. Short hair refers to being contentious. And a shaved head represents shame, or one who is jaded." hmm
