Catholic AnswerAt the time most women's Orders were founded, ALL women covered their hair all the time. For instance, look at the women in pictures of Henry VIII and his court, all the women wore head coverings. At the time most Orders were founded, poorer women all covered their heads with veils, from ancient times, and that has come to be the standard for their Orders. Also, Canon Law before 1983 required that all women have their heads covered in Church as stipulated by St. Paul in his letters. The code of Canon Law no longer requires this, but it is certainly a laudable practice for women to express their humility by covering their heads in Church. Nuns are in Church a lot, and are striving for humility always. Many women in religious Orders following Vatican Council II discarded the habit along with the veil. The Vatican has asked them to return to wearing veils, and some have.
