Hair is and always has been a symbol of vitality and beauty. It will become thinner and grow back slower with less pigment as you age. Figure out how to enjoy it now, and give God thanks for your hair every single day!

1 Corinthians 11:14-15
"Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." (KJV)
1 Corinthians 11:14-15 signifies "to let the hair grow long, to wear long hair," a glory to a woman, a dishonor to a man (as taught by nature).
When Paul speaks further of contention, he is speaking of the rules of natural decency. The custom Paul is referring to is that of the Church, the body of Christ, cherished, holy and empowered with divine wisdom. This custom in the church is the common practice of self-government: decent, moral, pure and virtuous. Contention, quarrels and debates for worldly customs are provoked by the desire for self-importance and a self-centered goal breeds contempt for simple elegance. From such, turn away.
2 Timothy 3:4-6
"Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,"
(KJV)
