Sorry, torontoguy, but you are providing the readers with erroneous information regarding orthodox women.

In fact, they are required to cover their hair but are not obliged to shave their heads. Some women do choose to cover their hair  with a wig and do cut their hair short in order to allow for a better fit and comfort for the wig. But it is not an obligation to have short hair and certainly they are not required to shave their heads.
