Paul’s comment in 1 Corinthians 11:14, “Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him?”

Now some people may bring up ''cultural relativity'' however depictions of the early 1st century Jews, from paintings at the time show that cultural relativity, in terms of hair length was not the case.

Case in point:

I'd say probably not. Those who took a Nazarite vow, such as Samson and possibly John the Baptist, apparently did not cut their hair or drink wine; and it marked them in public life. As Jesus drank wine He was not a Nazarite. We do not have a description of Jesus, except for the prophecy found in Isaiah 53:2, which seems to indicate Jesus did not have Hollywood features.
