Many Christian women, have a symbolic way of covering. However, we aren't to be ritualistic as Christian's. You need to know that your hair, in good length, is Gods gift to you, to share with God your status of Constant prayer.

It isn't for anyone else, except your husband. The New Testament says long hair is for women, for the head of the family is the Man, and the head of man is Christ. However, when we venture alone at times, with just our children, or out shopping or something, it is often practiced to have a hair barrette or cloth on a small pony tail as a symbol of coverage.

My family and I didn't feel God asked this of us, so I only keep the pony tail, unless I'm with a Christian brother(immediate family).

And really, it's between you and the Lord, how you will covet His communication with you as a woman.

A Christian elder once said, this is what I believe God would have my family to do. It may seem extreme, but I've seen more extreme, and less extreme acts amongst my Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

And just like many cultures find it vain to perform full body baptism, (which is a symbolic act of salvation), many find this act of "christian hairdo" also vain. However, it's really no one elses business, it's just Gods business!
