Here's a fuller quote: "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that,
if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have
long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a
covering."

That's not hard to understand at all, Woger, and yet you seem to be
having difficulties with the ideas that St. Paul tried to convey in
his letter. The quote is not out of context at all, unless failing to
quote the whole New Testament is the context which you seek.

Also, the original Greek text used the word "ATIMA" when describing
long hair. That word can be translated as "shameful" or "vile,"
where vile refers to the offensiveness of a dead body. In fact, "atima"
is used in the latter way in several other biblical passages.

So it is likely that Paul would have thought that your hair reminded
him of the unseemliness and offensiveness of a dead body

We, on the other hand, know that it only smells that way.
