I just wanted to go back on these passages, because a male friend of mine cut his hair after reading 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. I can track those times that he took care for his hair for how many months just to make it to his desired length. But all of a sudden his obsession of having a nice long hair stops with this passages.

1 Corinthians 11:2-16

² I am so glad, dear friends, that you always keep me in your thoughts and you are following the Christian teaching I passed on to you. ³ But there is one thing I want you to know: A man is responsible to Christ, a woman is responsible to her husband, and Christ is responsible to God. ⁴A man dishonors Christ if he covers his head while praying or prophesying. ⁵But a woman dishonors her husband if she prays or prophesies without a covering on her head, for this is the same as shaving her head. ⁶Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair. And since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, then she should wear a covering. ⁷A man should not wear anything on his head when worshiping, for man is God’s glory, made in God’s own image, but woman is the glory of man. ⁸For the first man didn’t come from woman, but the first woman came from man. ⁹ And man was not made for woman’s benefit, but woman was made for man. ¹⁰ So a woman should wear a covering on her head as a sign of authority because the angels are watching.

¹¹But in relationships among the Lord’s people, women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women. ¹²For although the first woman came from man, all men have been born from women ever since, and everything comes from God.

¹³What do you think about this? Is it right for a woman to pray to God in public without covering her head? ¹⁴ Isn’t it obvious that it's disgraceful for a man to have long hair? ¹⁵And isn’t it obvious that long hair is a woman's pride and joy? For it has been given to her as a covering. ¹⁶But if anyone wants to argue about this, all I can say is that we have no other custom than this, and all the churches of God feel the same way about it.
