Only the Orthodox Jewish women wear headscarves. Some Orthodox Jewish women prefer to wear wigs rather than headscarves.

Some non-Orthodox women will wear a kerchief over their hair when attending a synagogue service.

The reason for a woman covering her hair is modesty. The hair is seen as a thing of beauty (Talmud, Berakhot 24a), not to be exposed to passers-by.

Why do muslims wear head-scarves?

Heas scarves are more cultural than religious. Although for women it is recommended that they should cover their head with cloth, so their beauty can only be seen by their closed ones, like a jewel. In my opinion, even there are christians in India, Arab countries and Pakistan who wear head scarves, so it is not religious, it is cultural thing. I can be wrong but this is my opinion and I believe in it.
