Only in Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) have women been required to cover their hair. There is much debate on whether it was by cultural custom or official religious commandment. This practice has largely fallen into disuse among Christian religions. Many Jewish women conceal their hair with scarves or wigs after they are married. It is primarily in the Islam religion that most Muslim women veil their hair entirely in religious custom and in Islamic countries where it is required by law.
