How come Jesus is always depicted with long hair when the Bible says that it's a shame?
>Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1 Corinthians 11:14
Probably just Europeans making him look more European, since long hair is a cold adaptation that europeans developed (or curly/ no hair is a warmth adaptation that Europeans did not develope, either way)

Probably Hellenistic influence. His depiction looks more like a Greek philosopher or deity or something. In Middle Ages Europe, long hair on men the norm and fashionable.
The historical Jesus probably had short hair like any other 1st century Jew would have had.

Because Christians are stupid. Jesus was from Nazareth, and often called a Nazarene. If you squint really hard, that looks a bit like Nazirite, which was an oath that some Hebrews took to not touch grapes/wine/other grape products, stay away from dead bodies, and not cut their hair. Of course, there's no evidence that Jesus ever swore a Nazirite oath, and even if he did; they're often temporary, with permanent Nazirites like Samuel and Sampson being the exception, rather than the rule, since Jesus drinks wine and touches dead bodies without seeming fussed about it.
But that won't stop more than a few people insisting that Jesus was a Nazirite.

The Bible was written after jesus died so they gave him a more current look
