There are so many ways to beautifully and modestly wear your hair up even while wearing a head covering!
The traditional way to secure updos under head scarves has been with a multitude of uncomfortable bobby pins, but there are now so many better options, that are not only beautiful and feminine, but stay securely all day with no headache!
So no matter if you are Mennonite, Amish, conservative Christian, Jewish Orthodox, or just love the beauty and simplicity of wearing your hair covered, you will find a modest head covering style that is perfect for you!

"I'm a conservative Mennonite follower of Jesus and in our church we ladies wear our hair up every day. Normally we use a hairnet and hairpins, and I had headaches a lot. When I read about flexi-clips, I thought their comfort was probably over-rated (everyone says you can't even feel it's up there), but thought I'd try one anyway.
I bought one with Christmas money. It took some experimenting to find a way that worked, but I figured it out. I was surprised to discover you really can't feel a flexi when it's in right.
After a week and a half, I tried wearing my hair up for church using a hairnet and hairpins . . . and I rushed home as soon as church was over and ripped the pins out. I had forgotten just how badly my head used to ache.
That was a year and a half ago and I've never worn a hairnet and hairpins since. I use my flexi-clip every day--it's comfortable and it's so much quicker than the old way of doing my hair.
And now I talk other people into getting flexi-clips!"

Unlike regular bobby pins, the Lilla Rose bobby pins are extra strong and secure enough to hold up a bun!
Love the sparkle of the North Star bobby pins peaking through this Amish cap.
Now, these jeweled bobby pins may be too fancy for most Amish ladies. There are many simple and plain bobby pins on the Lilla Rose website as well.

Reasons to wear a Head Covering
Most of you reading this post to get Christian head covering style ideas, may already cover your head, also known as Christian veiling. Some ladies cover only when attending church or praying, and others veil all the time. Most have come to the personal conviction to cover from the scripture passage in 1 Corinthians 11.
To learn more about the practice of head covering, and why ladies cover their heads, I recommend the Head Covering Movement website. The entire site is dedicated to teaching others about the reasons for head coverings, including many head covering testimonials from ladies about "Why I Wear a Headcovering."
A great place to start is the article, "The Case For Christian Head Covering: A Guided Study of 1 Corinthians 11."
