If the hair is supposed to be the "covering", as is commonly taught today, then men with hair are dishonoring their head (Christ), because their heads are covered with hair.
Didn't Jesus and most of his Apostles wear their hair long?
How do you know this? Were you there?
Do you know of a certainty that their hair was long enough to cover their shoulders, like a woman's hair?

Most probably not. The representations of Christ and the Apostles with long hair are from later centuries when styles had changed. Some of them were even modeled after the Roman rulers of the day.
The paintings in the catacombs from the first and second century have the men with short hair and the women with coverings.
