Headscarves may have specific religious significance. Observant married Jewish women, for example, are required to
cover their hair, often employing scarves, known as tichels or snoods,
in compliance with the code of modesty known as tzniut. Headscarves were also
worn by married Christian women in medieval Europe, and even by some of the
unmarried. This head covering habit included a circlet, veil and wimple.Headscarves were once
required of Catholic women when attending Mass. This is no longer true, but
there has been a recent increase of younger Catholic women taking up the mantilla.
