SHOULD MEN HAVE LONG HAIR?
Numbers 6:5  All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no rasor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. (KJV)


I Corinthians 11:14  Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? (KJV)

1 Corinthians doesn't say that a man can't have long hair, just that it is a shame unto him.  It is a sign of submission.  The Nazarite in Numbers 6:5 grew his hair long as a sign of submission.  Not a contradiction.
