Covering your hair isn't as simple as just covering your hair. Our hair is a source is joy, beauty, and pride, but it can also be a source of vanity or disappointment. We all have different feelings about our hair, but I have found that when someone decides to cover it, there is a universal feeling: this means something more.
For many religious sects, covering hair is a way to maintain modesty, preserve a relationship with God, to show the world that you belong to a group, or all of the above. It can be deeply powerful to keep something that is normally shown to the world, just to yourself or yourself and your spouse.
For people who cover their hair for medical reasons, covering can feel healing, warm, and embracing. It helps them to protect what they may not want to show the world, while protecting their hair and scalp from the elements.
For people who cover for everyday wear, covering can feel bold, beautiful, and chic. It helps them stand out from the crowd or complete an amazing outfit.
No matter why you cover your hair, it has meaning.
Why do you cover your hair, or why are you interested in covering your hair?
