Turned catholic in late 1950’s. All women that went into church had heads covered. Some with scarfs, but most had hats. If one wanted to stop in church to pray, many kept a clean hanky for the head covering...a sign of respect..
I remember a lady with a glove on her head.
I kid you not. (It was in the 50s)

Not arguing that point.
Probably a nit, but Christians haven’t even been around for “over 2000 years.”
Respect for God? God GAVE women their hair and now he insists they hide it? The fact that a folded tissue or a handkerchief does not hide one's hair or that it "protects a woman or girl from being distracted in church" is addled reasoning.
Men are not immune from diversion but do we believe they must wear some headgear to deprive them of peripheral vision? It ain't gonna happen!
There are way more problems in our world that a hanky on the head won't solve.
