It was not, in fact, Delilah that cut off Samson's hair. First of all, we should note Samson's head was shaved, not clipped. Delilah made Samson "sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head." So, it seems poor Delilah has received a good deal of bad press she didn't deserve.

Delilah, a woman who Samson loved, betrayed him by cutting his hair while he slept. This act robbed Samson of his strength, which was believed to be tied to his uncut hair.

What religions do not cut their hair?

The most obvious are the male Sikhs of the Punjab, India, who do not cut their hair and instead wrap it in a turban ( a long strip of cloth tied round the head). Because of this the turban and the full beard of a Sikh mark him out as a member of that group (much like the circumcision of a male Jew, the wearing of a burkha of a female moslem, and the wearing of a cross or crucifix for a Christian. However, not many people know that certain Jews throughout history also did not cut their hair. The Nazirites were a Jewish group who were set aside as special, and dedicated to God. Nazrites could be set aside for a set period (like a month) or for life. To set them apart from ordinary Jews they did not eat meat, wore rags rather than fine clothes and did not cut their hair. The two most famous Nazirites in the Bible were John the Baptist who we are told wore animal skins and ate only locusts and wild honey (locusts were not regared as 'meat'!). The other was Samson, who, of course, never cut his hair. When Delilah's servant did cut his hair, his strength, which he believed came from God through his setting apart as a Nazirite, disappeared completely as he became demoralised and ashamed as he, although through no fault of his own, had reneged on his covenant with God.
