For modesty (Talmud, Ketubot 72b). The requirement applies only to married women; and Jewish married women don't want to be gazed at by other men. The hair is considered beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a).

What religion requires women to wear skirts?
There are some denominations of Christianity that require women to wear skirts or dresses, but a denomination is not the same thing as an entire religion. Islamic women usually must wear a long robe that is skirt-like, as well as a scarf over their heads. Pentecostal/Apostolic women also wear long skirts. If you are wondering why Pentecostal women do this, check out Deuteronomy 22:5, which reads: The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God. Pentecostals believe that pants are meant for men, and therefore women should not wear them.
