1 Corinthians 11:14 seems to indicate that long hair on a man is shameful: : Doth not even nature herself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? On the other hand, Samson was a Nazirite, and as such was under pledge to refrain from cutting his hair. Some Biblical scholars believe that Paul's answer to the church at Corinth was aimed at their culture at that time. To the Gentile culture in that area, a man with long hair � as well as a woman with short hair, as noted in the surrounding passages � were often associated with the prostitutes that often were a part of pagan worship. These scholars speculate that Paul was saying, by example, that men should look like men, and women women, according to the culture, and that neither should look like the evildoers or pagans of that culture. Numbers 6:5 No razor shall come upon his [a Nazarite's] head. He shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair on his head grow. Judges 13:5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son [Samson]; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite. 1 Samuel 1:11 I will give him [Samuel] unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

Who in the Bible what man had very long hair?
Probably he most famous person specifically mentioned as having long hair in the Bible was Samson. His parents took what was called a "Nazarite vow" before he was born, which meant that, among other things, he was not allowed to touch dead bodies, drink alcohol, or cut his hair ever in his life. Samson eventually did have his hair cut, when he was tricked by a Philistine woman with whom he was romantically involved. You can read about Samson in Judges 13-16. Another long-haired man in the Bible was Absalom, one of David's sons. The Bible says that he cut his hair once a year "because the hair was heavy on him" and that the hair that was cut off weighed 200 shekels, or approximately 5 pounds (2.25 kg). Stories about Absalom can be found scattered throughout the book of II Samuel, but most concentrated in chapters 13-18. Many people think that all men in the Bible had long hair, but we learn from Paul's writings in I Corinthians 11 that, by the time of the New Testament, it was considered shameful for a man to have long hair. Thus, depictions of Jesus and His disciples as long-haired men are clearly incorrect.
