It is not referring to trimming or cutting hair.

"Let her be shorn" cut close like shearing sheep. Ko One would say. "Oh she trimmed her hair"

What are you seeing in it?.....


1 Cor 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

Could you elaborate please?Are you meaning Paul was speaking against a particular kind of hair cut?

And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Acts 18:18 KJV

If shorn just means cut, did he cut his head since it says
"Having shorn his head"? No, a shorn head is cutting it real close like when I entered the army.

No, that when it says shorn/shaven it is refering to a type of hair cut, not just cutting hair. It's a shame for a women to have a shorn head. That's why even military don't do it to women when they go to boot camp.

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.



I think Paul may have been saying that if they are bald, wear a temporary covering.(not sure)



But Paul says this about the Long Hair.....

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

[good samaritan]

should a woman wear a veil when praying or prophesying?

[Sean]

Could the 1st century church demanded partial coverings for short haired sisters?

Isn't it interesting no where is women commanded to not cut there hair? No where in all the law
