i went from long hair, to modified mohawk, long in back, and i love the change for me, at my age, the shock value is totally priceless, and the respect is amazing, (or frightening, i don't know which) i don't know if i'll grow it mega long again, but it's a possibility for later, but now, i am content.

Yea long hair is evil man..you're only allowed to have it be as long as the Jonas Brothers..:) People take the rendering of like one verse in the Bible to mean that long hair on a man is wrong when the greek is actually talking about what adorns the hair which would have signified femininity back then. The Nazarites in the Old Testament grew their hair super duper long to signify being set apart as specially devoted to God, and didn't just not cut their hair but also abstained from wine, and touching dead animals. There's nothing inherently wrong with touching a dead animal, especially if it's for food, same with drinking wine before distillation with no aim at getting drunk. Jesus changed water to wine. Josephus the Jewish historian where we get much of our info about Rome and Jerusalem at that time said men and women had long hair and it was really the adornment that allowed one to distinguish between men and women besides facial hair..one hopes wasn't on the women's faces as well:) But Nazarites stood out because their hair was longer than others. Jesus was referred to as a Nazarene which many commentators would say is a combination of being a special kind of Nazarite slash being from Nazareth from the word usage and composition, thus it's highly probable that Jesus had long hair as well like most of the men at that time in Israel..with exception to younger people, balding people, or those that shaved/cut their hair from a vow. So contrary to what ignorant people who are just biased or judgmental against people that don't look like those they choose to hang around with in their clicks believe or say, or based on their pre conceived notions about what long haired people must be like, long hair is good and fine. Principles of the Bible are absolute but HOW they are expressed varies from culture to culture. While someone can not like long hair for whatever reason, I don't see how any sensible rational person can make an argument that long hair is inherently evil. The bottom line I think is that EVERY ->THING<- is good, every substantial reality God made and sustains, is/are someTHING that one CAN and should be thankful for. Evil is NOT a thing, it's not a substantial reality, its a LACK of substance, a LACK of good, a deprivation or privation in a good existing substantial reality. Since hair is a substantially existing thing it is good. The other question one can ask is what USES can something have towards whatever ends that may be good or evil but that has nothing to do with the substance or existence of a thing, it has to do with its use in particular contexts. Hope that isn't as clear as mud. Good question btw. Wow! You sure did a lot of research! I bet your parents used to tell you all the time to cut that hair...so you had to come up with a reasonable, intelligent explanation as to WHY you're not going to cut it. Either way...I like long hair on a man as long as it's clean and doesn't smell of last week's (or even last night's) bar hopping adventure. |

I actually have never thought about it. I think it is the person there are some men that can wear long hair and look fantastic and others that can't. These same men can't wear the shorter hair cuts and pull it off.
Wear what makes you feel good about yourself and let the others fall beside the way side. If someone judged me for my hair then I wouldn't waste my time with them there is so much more that is important that the outer physical appearance. JMHO |

Long, short or bald what does it really matter as long as the one it belongs to know how to take care and mantain what they choose to have is all that it matters.
Myself I have meet those that have long hair as well as bald that appealed to me. Hey all it matters is it is what you like others will either accept you for who you are and what you choose within your life or they will walk away. Never change because others do not understand that is their problem. |

I was a longhair in West Texas in the 70's. THAT took dedication and a willingness to fight off rednecks wanting to cut it for me

I had a shaved bald head for 5 years. I grow my hair in length because I can. I've had it over 40 inches in length to my knees in 1999. I keep it clean. I let it not get in others way. I've had great length cut off 3 times and donated to locks. I realized the parallels to scripture. For I've studied hebrew which unlike our slang structure of english based on a noun structure, hebrew is based on a verb structure. Basically a language of action. There were many miscommunications in translation between hebrew and greek because there really were no nouns that could be translated from verb/ adverb form. The effeminate reference is one of those mistranslations. I, like the op; whom I have much respect for and is on my freinds list, enjoy being able to grow my hair in length and care for it accordingly. I grow mine for respect for myself and others.

But I also respect the fact that you can't please all of the people all of the time. And that some people are just going to be offended by lengthy hair on a man. And their opinion is noted. Because opinions are like assholes- everyone has one.

This old military man had his time of short hair, then the early 1970's I had long hair, then a 2 foot across, afro, then worked as a government contractor with short hair, and then with long hair. Now I have long hair, because I can't think of a reason to cut it.
