AFRICA Many women (and men for that matter) across Africa and amongst the African diaspora observe the practice of head wrapping. Utilizing fabric, whether solid or printed, it is wrapped around the head with beautiful knotting and tucking to adorn the crown of the head. For optimal wear, the colors of the wrap can be coordinated with the chosen outfit and/or chosen to complement the complexion. In addition to being an adornment for the head, it is also can double as a protective style to shield the hair from unnecessary wear and tear and maintain optimal moisture levels.
CHRISTIAN HEAD COVERING In the Bible there is a passage in the New Testament that reviews the principle of role and authority differences between husbands and wives. The passage references the ancient cultural practice of Christian women head covering while praying or prophesying to represent the God-given structure of hierarchy and authority between Jesus Christ, husbands, and wives.
