That verse is THE OPPOSITE of a personal opinion. What Paul says there is that all the churches of God have a custom of having Christian women cover their heads during worship. So "we have no such custom" of UNCOVERING heads, for those who seek to be contentious, and wish to argue about this matter.
It is impossible that the Holy Spirit would contradict Himself at the very end of this passage. But the way it worded leads to the wrong conclusion.
How would the Holy Spirit be contradicting Himself?
It is saying that the verses spoken of just before are not based on mere culture...or custom followed by the churches. It is saying that there is something in the heart of the Lord that is pleased by obedience to these principles. And that they are eternal principles not based on custom of the cultural environment but that what is spoken is timeless; being the word of the Lord.
