According to 1Corinthians 11:5-16
5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved.

6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have herhair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

10 For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.

11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice-nor do the churches of Go

Let a woman cover her hairs, for she is the pride of her husband....

May the Holy Spirit Continually lead the Church.... Many woman display all manner of hair styles at the church...

Well, Paul stated his view there in his letter, but since we are instead called as followers of Jesus Christ, and not Paul, it is imperative that we judge all things according to God's righteous standard, Jesus Christ, God's very own New Covenant/agreement in the Kingdom of God which He called on all to obey.

In the Kingdom of God, God's Law indicates the following instead

A. Men and women are equals hence none greater than the other.

8 “But you must not be called ‘Teacher.’ You are all equal as brothers and sisters. You have only one Teacher.
9 And don’t call anyone on earth ‘Father.’ You have one Father. He is in heaven.
10 And you should not be called ‘Master.’ You have only one Master, the Messiah. - Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10

What the above implies is that any individual who sets his or herself up above another , even as head over another, in the context that is the Kingdom of God, does so in direct violation of the Truth of God .I.e. God's Law in the Kingdom of God.
B. All who belong to Jesus Christ are greater than Angels, and so do not live their to honor Angels, but God Himself -

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “If you continue to accept and obey my teaching, you are really my followers.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 They answered, “We are Abraham’s descendants. And we have never been slaves. So why do you say that we will be free?”
34 Jesus said, “The truth is, everyone who sins is a slave—a slave to sin.
35 A slave does not stay with a family forever. But a son belongs to the family forever.
36 So if the Son makes you free, you are really free. - John 8 vs 31 - 36

Sons of God aka Children of God are not made to bow to angels, nor honor them as instead theirs lives are instead to be lived honoring God Himself, in almost the same way Angels are meant to honor God and God alone.

C. Your ideas regarding the place of a man and woman in Marriage is of this world, and not of the Kingdom of God

34 Jesus said to the Sadducees, “On earth, people marry each other.
35 Some people will be worthy to be raised from death and live again after this life. In that life they will not marry.
36 In that life people are like angels and cannot die. They are children of God, because they have been raised from death. - Luke 20 vs 34 - 36

.....

We can go on, but the point is Paul's view on the place of a woman, etc., does not align in any way with that taught by Jesus Christ regarding those who live instead as Children of God.

Accordingly, let all do as the spirit teaches and direçts....

To add to the objections against the claims made in Corinthians regarding the woman's hair, in the Gospels, Jesus Christ explained that God knows how many hairs are on the head of each of His creations.

30 God even knows how many hairs are on your head.
31 So don’t be afraid. You are worth more than a whole flock of birds. - Matthew 10 vs 30 - 31

Surely, God has no need for anyone to maintain hair length in order for Him to know how many hairs are on each of their heads. If this was of any value to Him, He would have given each and every woman born into this world a full head of hair from the time of her birth and demanded it be maintained so throughout life but He never did that.

I surely agree with this.....
