Best Answer

The wearing of a headscarf or headcovering is not a part the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). If you saw a Mormon women wearing a headscarf, it is probably because for fashion or practical reasons, not for religious reasons.

Do all Mormon woman wear skirts and dresses?

No, definitely not. Female members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) are not required to wear skirts and dresses - most Mormon women wear pants for their regular activities, except in some countries where dresses for women are the norm. (Many nations in Africa frown on women in pants)Within Mormon culture, skirts and dresses are considered the most appropriate attire for worship services and other church meetings as a sign of respect, but those in pants will not be turned away. The only Mormon women who are required to wear pants are female missionaries, who adhere to a strict dress code. Female missionaries, or "sisters" must wear skirts when preaching or proselytizing, except in certain areas where mosquito-borne illnesses make pants a safer choice. Sisters may wear pants when exercising or performing community service.In short, Mormon women usually only wear skirts or dresses to church or when preaching as missionaries. Your average Mormon woman (including me!) is wearing pants right now.Click to see photos for examples of what Mormon women would wear:Mormon Sister Missionaries in Pants (2016)Mormon Sister Missionaries in Belgium(2013)Sister Missionaries guidelines for pants(exercise and service)Typical Mormon women dressed for church(2015)Mormon woman leaving church in pants(2012)Mormon Women in PeruTypical Mormon women in California (2012)Typical Mormon women in Atlanta, Georgia(2010)Mormon women dressed for church in Utah(2015)

Do Mormon girls shave?

Mormon theology does not address the issue of whether or not women should shave. Mormon women try to behave and dress modestly. With that stipulation, it seems unlikely most women would discuss the subject -- except, perhaps, with their husbands or physicians.


How long have Muslim women had to wear headscarfs?

Allah said in quran : "And as for women past child-bearing who do not expect wed-lock, it is no sin on them if they discard their (outer) clothing in such a way as not to show their adornment. But to refrain (i.e. not to discard their outer clothing) is better for them. And Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower." chapter 24, Verse 60.

Can Mormon women were headbands with bows on the side?

Sure, if they want. Women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can wear whatever they want, but are encouraged to dress modestly as a sign of reverence to their bodies. Modesty guidelines in the church include avoiding sleeveless tops, avoiding showing the cleavage or midriff, and always wearing pants or skirts that reach to the knee or lower. There are no guidelines or suggestions about headbands, hats, etc. Headbands with bows and flowers on them are quite popular right now and Mormon women and teens have adopted the trend. The only exception might be female Mormon missionaries, who have much more strict dress guidelines. They can typically wear a small headband but nothing with a large bow or flower on it.


Do all Mormon girls wear the same Mormon hairstyle at the prom?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do not have the same hairstyle. Mormon girls may do their hair however they choose. Mormon women and girls have hair of all lengths, colors, and styles. Many Mormons may have similar hairstyles simply because that is the style that is currently fashionable, but this has nothing to do with religion, and many outside of Mormonism would have the same hairstyle as well. In over 25 years of being a Mormon, I have never seen a group of Mormon girls who all had the same hairstyle! Check out the "Related Links" below to see some examples of hairstyles among Mormon girls and women, as well as photos of Mormon teen girls at formal dances such as prom.
