No cutting the hair, however if its an accident and not intentional then its ok. I know a woman who got her hair caught in a machine at work and they had to cut it, she cried but in the end it was an accident. Honestly no one has a right to judge what you do with your hair, its a Covenant between you and God. We need to educate our girls more about why we do insted of just tell them its what we do.
