 With regards to women , neither Qur 'an nor Sunnah explicitly state that women cannot cut their hair . Hadith does mention that women should not imitate men , and vice versa , and hence many scholars on this assumption , decree that women should let their hair grow longer than the hair of the Prophet , reaching beyond their shoulders , as hadith mentions that the Prophet had his hair between his shoulder and his earlobes . ( He described Jesus 's hair , which hung to his earlobes , as long . )
