Probably he most famous person specifically mentioned as having long hair in The Bible was Samson. His parents took what was called a "Nazarite vow" before he was born, which meant that, among other things, he was not allowed to touch dead bodies, drink alcohol, or cut his hair ever in his life. Samson eventually did have his hair cut, when he was tricked by a Philistine woman with whom he was romantically involved. You can read about Samson in Judges 13-16.
Another long-haired man in the Bible was Absalom, one of David's sons. The Bible says that he cut his hair once a year "because the hair was heavy on him" and that the hair that was cut off weighed 200 shekels, or approximately 5 pounds (2.25 kg). Stories about Absalom can be found scattered throughout the book of II Samuel, but most concentrated in chapters 13-18.
Many people think that all men in the Bible had long hair, but we learn from Paul's writings in I Corinthians 11 that, by the time of the New Testament, it was considered shameful for a man to have long hair. Thus, depictions of Jesus and His disciples as long-haired men are clearly incorrect.

Is there in the KJV Bible any scriptures that a men can not wear braided hair?
clarification: Is there a specific law against "men wearing braided hair" in the Bible, specifically the King James Version.Answer: I could not locate an instance in an online Bible search. However, one can interpret 1 Corinthians 11:14 to say that a man should not make his hair as a woman makes theirs.AnswerWhat the Bible say about Hair;"Women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array." -- 1 Timothy 2:9 "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel." -- 1 Peter 3:3 A man's hair should be short, and a woman's long."Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." -- 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 Opinion;I guess if it's not allowed on women, it's also not allowed on men.
