Some of the things which Paul of Tarsus said concerning hair, notably in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 and 1 Timothy chapter 2, are much better understood once it is realized that in ancient times, Roman women very frequently wore their hair very short, like a man, or in elaborate braids, and even in some examples, combinations of both. This is evident in the sculptures pictured below.
