Jewish women did cut their hair. If they had taken a Nazarite vow. At least that’s what I understand from the passage below. It doesn’t appear to draw a distinction of the genders.
Numbers 6
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
[18] And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
Brother? Read chapter six of Numbers and tell me what it meaneth.
