Editing Hair (section)

===Religious practices===
Women's hair may be hidden using [[headscarf|headscarves]], a common part of the ''[[hijab]]'' in [[Islam]] and a symbol of modesty required for certain religious rituals in [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodoxy]]. The [[Russian Orthodox Church]] requires all married women to wear headscarves inside the church; this tradition is often extended to all women, regardless of marital status. [[Orthodox Judaism]] also commands the use of scarves and other head coverings for married women for modesty reasons. Certain [[Hindu]] sects also wear head scarves for religious reasons. [[Sikhism|Sikhs]] have an obligation not to cut hair (a Sikh cutting hair becomes 'apostate' which means fallen from religion)<ref>Dilgeer, Harjinder Singh (2005) ''Dictionary of Sikh Philosophy'', Sikh University Press.</ref> and men keep it tied in a bun on the head, which is then covered appropriately using a [[turban]]. Multiple religions, both ancient and contemporary, require or advise one to allow their hair to become [[dreadlocks]], though people also wear them for fashion. For men, Islam, Orthodox Judaism, Orthodox Christianity, Roman Catholicism, and other religious groups have at various times recommended or required the covering of the head and sections of the hair of men, and some have dictates relating to the cutting of men's facial and head hair. Some Christian sects throughout history and up to modern times have also religiously proscribed the cutting of women's hair. For some [[Sunni]] [[madhab]]s, the donning of a [[kufi]] or [[Taqiyah (cap)|topi]] is a form of [[sunnah]].<ref>The War Within Our Hearts – Page 65 Sa'ad Quadri – 2013</ref> [[Brahmin]] males are prescribed to shave their heads, but leave a tuft of hair unshaved, worn in the form of a topknot.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Hiltebeitel |first1=Alf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PRPymT12c40C&dq=Brahmin+male+topknot&pg=PA15 |title=Hair: Its Power and Meaning in Asian Cultures |last2=Miller |first2=Barbara D. |last3=Miller |first3=Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Women's Studies Program Barbara D. |date=1998-01-01 |publisher=SUNY Press |isbn=978-0-7914-3741-4 |pages=15 |language=en}}</ref>
