It is a Biblical law that a woman must not show her hair in public after she is married. The Biblical law considers that a woman's hair is the beauty of a woman, so most Orthodox Jewish women cover their heads with wigs.

Do Jewish women wear head scarves?

Only the Orthodox Jewish women wear headscarves. Some Orthodox Jewish women prefer to wear wigs rather than headscarves.

The hair is seen as a thing of beauty (Talmud, Berakhot 24a), not to be exposed to passers-by.
