How strong would Samson have been if Delilah had only cut half his hair short, and left half long?

He would have lost the same strength. Samson was forbidden to cut his hair at all, whether it was a little bit or a lot. Ultimately, Samson's power came from God, not his hair. When Samson's hair was cut, God removed His power from Samson.

Samson was a Nazirite and as such:

There were three principal restrictions resting on those taking the Nazirite vow: (1) They were to drink no intoxicating beverage; neither were they to eat any product of the grapevine, whether unripe, ripe, or dried, nor drink any of its juice, whether in the fresh, fermented, or vinegar state. (2) They were not to cut the hair of their heads. (3) They were not to touch a dead body, even that of the closest relative閳ユ攩ather, mother, brother, or sister.閳ユ摥u 6:1-7.

I don't think the idea is the actual hair. I have always felt it was a metaphor for the betrayl he felt from Delilah. She broke his heart with her devious ways, therefore taking away his strength.
