This is obviously a widely debated topic, and commentators have varying opinions about it.
Three key words in this passage are angels, covering, and glory.
The first place in the Scripture where we find those three elements in conjunction is the Ark of the Covenant.
Every time the covering (mercy seat) was removed, the angels that stood at either end were displaced, and the Glory that dwelt between them was also displaced...and bad things happened.
I do not believe for a minute that there are any special "hair angels" like the mockers like to assert that Apostolics believe.
I do, however, believe it is reasonable to say that there is a special blessing and perhaps angelic protection afforded to those who walk in obedience to the Scripture. And I believe the Scripture teached for ladies to have uncut hair.
Since the chapter in question is dealing with order of creation, and submission, it is possible that the Apostle was making reference to the example of angels who fell when they would not remain in submission to their nead.
