For those that believe the covering in 1 Corinthians 11 is the hair (or long hair), why does Paul use the concept of "covering her head" to mean "having long hair"? I can't find anywhere else where that phraseology is used to refer to hair. Usually in Scripture it refers to something that's reasonably quick to do--like Haman covering his head, for instance--not something that could be interpreted as referring to "having long hair".
So why would Paul use it in that unusual way?
