The military cut was really to keep lice off the soldiers. That's the reason they had such a short cut. Just an FYI.

He was so busy with God's work he did not make it to the barber.

St. Louis de Montfort promoted devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the practice of consistently praying the Rosary.

Quite debonair with his curly locks.

We can keep going back to historical figures but we are still living in the modern day here and as was said earlier, in modern times the short hair style was a symbol of those on the Right (although this was not always the case) since it showed military service and the long hair was a symbol of the left-wing hippies. However if we indeed take your case to point I will call to attention a long-haired person on here Mithrandylan and note his leftist tendencies.

Anyway we are getting away from the topic here. The topic was hair on women and that should be obvious. It should be long and a lady should have other fine qualities as well such as humbling herself towards her husband, religious (obviously), takes care of the house and children, kind and caring towards her children and husband (with our new 'modern' woman this is increasingly an anomaly as women act like men and start to shriek and blame men for everything), etc.

St. Catherine of Siena was infamous for her immense desire to shave all her hair so she would not be desired by men.

This was so she could remain a virgin and even a hermit as she desired to spend her days in prayer for the praise and worship of God. She did not wish to follow her parents wishes to be married.

She viewed her long hair as an impediment to her spiritual well being.

Her desire to please God was of greater importance to her than her desire to please her father who wanted her married off. The irony is that she also desired to spend the rest of her life in prayer because she wanted her father to go to heaven. She deemed her father as someone doomed for eternal damnation so she was looking to spending her life in prayer and penance for the sake of her father.

The point is, you cannot take the length of ones hair as a sinful act - its a simple state of being, like an apple can be green or red.

But we are speaking of women who are to be wives and mothers- not virgins.

Yes, why don't we?

If long hair and a beard was good enough for Our Lord, His apostles and all of Christian men for more than a thousand years, you'll have to forgive me for not being convinced that short hair is desirable* because of it's modern connotations. What a load of crap!

Also keeping in mind that when a man has long hair and a beard, he doesn't have a particular hair "style," rather he is wearing himself without the interference of a style. A man who keeps his hair very short and his face bald has a hair style, as he is the one manipulating his appearance.

Traditional guy should have a greater appreciation for the rich history of men who let their hair grow, instead of being slavishly devoted to the stylistic mores of modernity.

Now if you'll excuse me I'll go back to reading Ginsberg and listening to Dark Magus. :smoke-pot:

*Incidentally, I have no problem with short hair on men. I understand that it is the modern trend and an innocuous one at that.
