"Traditional Judaism considers the hair of a married woman erotic. As a result, married Jewish women are generally expected to cover their hair, except in front of her husbands, and sometimes in the company of other women. For most of Jewish history this practice was not disputed - mainly because society at large also considered it immodest for women to let their hair down in its city streets."
In reality this is rarely done on the street, during worship it is common for some women to cover their hair, but is not typically required except in the most traditional of synagogues.

A lot of my jewish female friends don't so I would assume no.
I know that some musleums believe in robing woman (ie former iraq in the sedam era)

Traditional (Orthodox) Judaism teaches that a woman should cover her hair when she becomes married.

orthodox women who are married usually cover their hair in some form or another - scarves, snoods, wigs, hats, etc.

I hear the men have to mutilate their penis-the women have it easy if they only have to wear a hair scarf.
