I wonder if it had healing power?

No evidence to support that, but it did help him kill a few thousand people. Give or take.

But was his strength in his hair or in submitting to his vow?

Did he vow to let it grow again? or did he not have a choice? He was tied to the columns.

Obviously in his hair since his intent was to submit.

His strength didn't return with the submission to the vow. There isn't scripture that says he submitted to the vow after capture. But after a time, his hair began to grow, and with that growth came strength once again.

Was it his vow or his parents?
