I think we need to think before speaking out and calling things dumb and stupid. I will agree that we cannot be carried away with things like this, but it's things like this, and people talking about it in this way, that allows satan to get a foothold in our lives and rob us of truths written in the Word of God.
I still believe that a woman's hair is her covering, and it is a shame to cut it. I still believe the Bible teaches that if a man has long hair it is a shame.
I think the story of Mary using her long hair to dry Jesus' feet is a beautiful story. I'm sure some of those posting on this forum would have called her stupid and dumb for doing such a ridiculous thing. But sometimes we get like Paul - 'beside ourselves' - and react to the presence of God in a way that is not 'politically correct'. No, I don't think the ladies that have let down their hair are in idolatry or witchcraft, and I think we need to be careful of judging them so, lest satan take advantage of us, and rob us of the promises God has given us for our obedience to His Word.

You have missed a lot of the discussions on this topic, perhaps ...
including the work of R. Reider and her linking power of hair to the occult ...
I also submit that there is a definite pattern of behavior that is making this troublesome and a doctrinal issue.
