When I came here to SW Ohio in the spring of 1957, many of the women and teen age girls in the local UPC church had "long" hair. This church was pastored by the Dist. Supt. Bro. F.E. Curts. At that time it was taught among the ladies that putting your hair up tightly in bobby pins could keep it from getting too long and also that hot curling irons could burn it to keep it from getting too long. A teenage girl (who was to later become my wife) who was a new Christian was "shocked" when her cousin (currently a UPC pastor's wife) and the pastor's granddaughter both got their hair "trimmed" for youth camp. Some believed that trimming was OK because it was not really cutting.
