Sis:
I realize this is an interpretation issue, but we must look at
the 
big picture, not just the isolated verse.

Me:
This stuff about "no other" custom is in the same vien as
"interpreting" echad as compound unity.  No way.

The "Big Picture" guys is that the reason Jewish women had long 
hair was that they, the Jews, would shave the head of women 
whose marital fidelity had been questioned and of "slave brides"
in mourning for their dead parents.  This is why their "long
hair" was a "glory/testimony" to them, decrying that neither had
been true of them for a LONG time.  Paul is saying that this is
the reason Jewish women have long hair and NOT because there was
some prohibition against them cutting it.
