I've just discovered that this turns out to be a British custom.

They are more stylish than orange jumpsuits and garbage bags

Even St Paul wrote that women should not enter the Christian worship services with their heads uncovered ...
to this day women in the Catholic faith adhere to this scripture in mostly orthodox churches.

As for the muslim faith I do not know, but I hear they have pretty harsh penalities for women who don't dress
entirely in the black outfits that cover you from head to toe.

Interestingly Iran is having a 'crack-down' on men and women wearing western clothes and make-up. Hair gel has become popular for young men in Iran, but now they are being arrested for it.
One report claimed barbers had been told by the police not to serve anyone wearing a tie, but this proved to be a invented story.

And I can't get a perm down the road anymore.

Boo to this kind of thing!

Long live secularism, in hairdressers as well as government!
Don't ya think Avon?

Well, if it depends on the Iranians or Faye Turney being Jewish, I doubt it.

As for myself, yes indeed.

Arguably almost everything about anyone is a result of the time, culture and location you are born into; and thus whimsical and fleeting in the great scale of all things!
