I'm assuming you're referencing the hair of Jesus in the picture below? Whould you consider that long hair? How about if that was the hair length on a woman?

I'm just trying to apply the same rule to both men and women considering hair length.

Yes, I would consider that long hair in the picture.

49.25 κομάω: to wear long hair as part of one’s attire—‘to have long hair, to appear with long hair, to wear long hair.’ γυνὴ δὲ ἐὰν κομᾷ δόξα αὐτῇ ἐστιν ‘if a women wears long hair, it is a pride for her’ 1 Cor 11:15. In a number of languages it may be necessary to translate κομάω as ‘to let one’s hair grow long’ or ‘not to cut one’s hair.’

While some debate whether it was Paul or Aquila who had their head shorn and whether the vow was a Nazarite vow in Acts 18:18, I would wonder at the explanation in bold.

We have posted, in a different discussion, a reference to the Greek meaning for "uncut" found here: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/...tomos0#lexicon

What I would really wonder at is that Paul, while telling a man that it is a shame to have his hair long, would seemingly, and in effect, be forcing a Nazarite vow on every woman for all time. I have been of the understanding that a Nazarite vow was voluntary. So the definition in the Louw, J. P., & Nida is troubling.

And as Newman had mentioned on FCF, why would Paul need to reach outside the Greek when speaking to a Greek audience?

I don't understand the last part of reaching outside the Greek..
