I see this focus or elevated faith that you are thinking outloud about to be as non-Biblical as the power in the hair.

The focus faith I read about in the Bible is "where two or three are gathered.....and ask in my Name".....doesn't say and have uncut hair laid upon them or "elevated" faith.

I think you are tip-toeing in some dangerous waters.

He is getting that from DKB's position paper:

There have been reports of women letting down their long hair as part of making a specific, urgent prayer request. If the idea was to obligate God to answer prayer or to create a new method of praying, then this action was misguided. If instead it was a spontaneous act to confirm their consecration, then it could have been a legitimate means of expressing and focusing faith. We can draw an analogy to the positioning of the sick so that Peter’s shadow would fall on them (Acts 5:15) and the use of handkerchiefs to pray for the sick (Acts 19:12). These practices were not mandatory and probably not even typical, but with a right understanding and intent they were acceptable in certain contexts.

I believe DKB's meaning here is to "elevate" or "take hold of" our faith. He couldn't mean making that the object or talisman as he wouldn't have said:
"If the idea was to obligate God to answer prayer or to create a new method of praying, then this action was misguided."

I see his point, but I wouldn't encourage using my hair to prove that I had faith. Living day to day is proof enough.
