According to halacha , married Jewish women are expected to cover their hair when in the presence of men other than their husband or close family members. Such covering is common practice nowadays among Orthodox Jewish women.
Different kinds of head coverings are used, among them the mitpaḥat or tichel , shpitzel, snood, hat, beret, and sheitel. The most common hair coverings in the Haredi community are the tichel and snood, as well as sheitels, hats and berets. Modern Orthodox Jewish women usually wear hats, berets, baseball caps, bandanas, or scarves tied in a number of ways, depending on how casually they are dressed.
Covering the hair is part of the modesty-related dress standard called tzniut.
