12For as the woman is of the man: euen so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 13Iudge in your selues, is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered? 14Doeth not euen nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long haire, it is a shame vnto him? 15But if a woman haue long haire, it is a glory to her: for her haire is giuen her for a couering. 16But if any man seeme to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God.

People's Bible Notes for 1 Corinthians 11:14
1Co 11:14,15 Doth not even nature itself teach you?, etc. It is nature's arrangement that men should wear short hair, and a woman long. For a man to have long hair and a woman to be shorn are violations of nature's teachings.
