[soc.religion.christian] Jesus wore long hair too

I can't remember the chapter and verse, but in one of 
Paul's letters, he exhorts the men to cut their hair short.

However, Jesus Christ ( if all the art works created in history
are to be believed ) had long hair. Then again, I doubt Jesus 
had blue eyes and white skin either. In fact, He probably looked
like a semite. ( oh ! Blasphemy ! )

And I heard somewhere that Paul himself took the same vow as Samson
did, which involved not drinking any alcohol and not cutting his hair.

Am I mistaken ? Could someone direct me to the relevant scripture ?

[The reference is 1 Cor 11:14.  I suspect what's meant by "long"
is the issue.  It's unlikely that Paul had a crew cut in mind.
