Not where Paul was though.All the inhabitants of the Americas and Australia and much of subSaharan Africa were stone age at the time of Paul.
Paul was writing to the Greek believersThe sharpest "knife" at Paul's time could be a flint or an obsidian knife. Even with that, "chopping" (no scissors!) human hair is not anyway better than pulling it.
How frequent was a Roman soldier get his hair chopped? chopped to how short?
I remember when the singer, Crystal Gayle's, hair was down past her knees. It takes several years for hair to grow that long.Each hair, however, only lives a few years before falling out.
I don't mean people then could not trim their hair. I just mean that hair-cut should not be a common thing to do at that time.

So the individual cells last a lifetime do they?
Maybe their lifetime.
It varies by individual. I didn't have a hair cut between ages 18 and 32 and it never went past my shoulders.

I haven't seen any data cited in this thread. How long does human hair grow compared to, say, orangutans?
Weird fluffy dogs have advantageous traits because humans will help them breed and provide them with plenty of food.When you look at this hairy dog, won't you feel the evolution process did something wrong?
Exactly. Because it's not even worth consideration.

If long impressive hair (on average) encouraged breeding then it would be an advantage. If it just wasn't a major problem it could coast along on positive traits like other neutral human traits like prominent chins and pointy noses.

That's not optimistic, it's a statement of fact.You are too optimistic. I would say only about a few percent of dog lover would choose such a dog. Would you like to spend a fortune on this dog to clean and comb its hair all the time?
Even a sharpened bone is plenty for trimming hair.An idea came to me: hot iron. It burns hair effective.
