One of the Roman writers, forget which one, defined poverty as being unable to afford more than one or two slaves.

1Cor 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
1Cor 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1Cor 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering.
1Cor 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Paul said that long hair on a man is shameful. If Jesus wore long hair, Paul called Jesus shameful.

I doubt Paul would call Jesus shameful.

I rather doubt it. That would be “rounding the corners of the head” wouldn’t it?

No. He would have hair as described in the Old Testament. Similar to what Hasidic Jews wear to this day.............

In places with a profusion of head lice, short haircuts are common, as are wigs.

The ancient Egyptians wore wigs to shield their shaved, hairless heads from the sun. They also wore the wigs on top of their hair using beeswax and resin to keep the wigs in place.

However, this might have been more a religious demand than because of lice. For example, before someone could even enter the great temple of Karnak, all the hair had to be shaved from their body.

Other ancient cultures, including the Assyrians, Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans, also used wigs as an everyday fashion.

Jewish rules are somewhat different. The idea of (Orthodox) married women shaving their heads and wearing wigs dates, I believe, to about the 16th Century. Ancient Hebrews and Jews, anybody’s guess.

Prophecy concerning Jesus in Isaiah indicates nothing special in his appearance.
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. --Isaiah 53:2 KJV

Actually, Jesus had a thin braid on the back of his head. The Shroud of Turin’s image is of a man with long hair. In fact, the image shows one long braid down the man’s back. But that doesn’t mean the image isn’t of Jesus. Jewish law allowed an exalted teacher to wear such a braid so that others recognized the teacher as a special rabbi. It’s difficult to know the true length of Jesus’ hair.
