Physical headcoverings... He was saying that just as nature covers women with long hair, women should cover themselves with a headcovering.

The passage is very simple "if a woman be not covered(uncut hair) let her be shorn(allow her to worship with cut hair) since she is allowing her hair to grow(let her be covered.)Those new converts some of them were the 'shorn women' however they had come into the church they could not grow their hair out overnight yet they had repented let them be with the understanding let them be covered or they are allowing their hair to grow.
