Yes, but I think one reason the scarfe was a fashionable in Italy and other countries in the 50s and 60s was probably the Vespa and the convertible, were it was just a good way to protect your hair and keep it out of your face.

It is interesting that there is rarely any talk about the women of conservative jews covering their hair. I had my office in near the synagoge and I was always wondering why so many of the jewish women were wearing wigs. Until somebody told me that they were not allowed to go outside with there head uncovered.

The fascinating thing being that a wig counts as hair covering.

As in "wear your wig-hat on your head."

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
