How Seventh-day Adventists and LDS / Mormons view long hair for men in church

Seventh-day Adventist View on Long Hair for Men
Seventh-day Adventists generally uphold a conservative approach regarding men’s appearance in church, including hair length. They reference biblical texts, such as 1 Corinthians 11:14-15, which suggests that long hair on men is a dishonor. As a result, Adventist teachings often promote short hair for men as a sign of respect and adherence to scriptural guidelines. In the church context, maintaining a clean and well-groomed appearance aligns with their beliefs about presenting oneself honorably before God and the congregation.

LDS / Mormon View on Long Hair for Men
In the context of the LDS Church, the views on long hair for men can be more flexible than those of the Seventh-day Adventists. While the Church encourages men to maintain a neat and tidy appearance, there is less specific regulation on hair length. Personal grooming is generally left to individual discretion, provided it reflects personal respect and reverence towards God. Some young men may choose to grow their hair long, particularly if it reflects their personal style or cultural influences. Overall, the key principle in the LDS community is to embody respectfulness in appearance rather than adhering to strict rules about hair length.
