The tonsure, which is reminiscent of the vow of the Nazirite, is the symbolic act of consecrating of your life to God by cutting off and forsaking your self-will.
There are three types of such dedications: baptismal, monastic, and clerical. In all cases, the hair is allowed to grow back; the tonsure as such is not imposed as a required hairstyle on the candidate.
Newly-tonsured aspirants will put into practice and utilize the gift of grace which they’ve received from God, in accordance with their conscience and zeal.
