A shaven head in the time of Paul and before, in Jewish culture, was a sign of shame. It was done to women slaves to make them sexually unattractive to their captors, to discourage lying with them and producing offspring. The torah states that this would lead to nothing but trouble.

Baldness in men was acceptable or unacceptable in the Levite priesthood. For instance, a widow's peak was acceptable, but losing your hair up in the crown, was not.

Therefore, a woman with a full head of hair was the glory of her husband indeed. A woman with her head "covered" with a full head of hair was pleasing to the Lord. A man had his head uncovered and the people could judge for themselves if the priest's baldness was pleasing to the Lord.

What all this had to do with Christians is-- nothing

While it's not practiced much, headcoverings are still a testimony of the God-ordained headship model that we've lost in this generation. I believe that it should be brought back.

Indeed.

God is holy.

He is not prissy nor lacking in 'common sense' . . . in a sense . . . LOL.

I'm not one to get all hung up on the wearing of hats thing. I do want to point out, however, that the verse I posted about the woman's hair being her covering was from the New Testament.
