    What I don't understand is all the negative and ignorant comments. If you dislike the video watch something else. If you don't understand something, ask questions or research the origin of things. Don't spew hate. She took the time to show us something intimate and important to her & that's not easy to do. Please be respectful.

      I don't see any negative or "ignorant" comments here. Just because someone wonders why a woman would need to spend that much time to just basically put her hair in a bun and cover it doesn't make that person ignorant. Who's spew hate? What in the world is your definition of hate?

      Okay at 1st I was going to agree with you until I read the last person response and then went and read almost every comment. NOT ONE PERSON LEFT A BAD COMMENT NOT ONE PERSON. Which makes me wonder exactly what comment or comments were you reading that were mean, off or displeasing to you?

    Thank you for showing us this video. My sister is a nurses aid in a wonderful nursing in home and a elderly lady was to sick to put her hair up like you do. My sister did her hair and put her black cap on for her. She told my sister not to worry and my sister said she wanted to do it for respect of her religion. It made the lady happy. I also work there and seen how happy it made her. God bless you for showing this.

Thank her for being 'one in a million' in going out of her way to help someone continue to show their respect when they themselves no longer can. She is an inspiration to people .... if only more people reached out in 'respect or friendship' for others instead of in 'hate, fear or anger', the world would be so much better for it....

      Some people really like to have that connection like your sister did with the older lady. What she did for her made that woman's day special. God sent your sister to the lady over her personal prayer that someone come and take their time to do that. Your sister got a huge reward for that. Not everyone in that lays position have someone come help them out of love and respect and tend to get forgotten in a position like that.

      I'll have to look and see how old this video is, but many of the Holdeman Mennonite women have their coverings pre sewn (when they make them themselves) now so that they don't have to do the whole folding thing every day. You can actually kinda learn to tell who's are sewn and who's are folded when you see them a lot.

      Whitney Lee I also used to cover and still have very long hair despite it never being a religious thing-it was just a lot more convenient. I also worked in an area with a sizable orthodox Jewish community so no one batted an eye at a woman with covered hair...as long as the covering didn’t slip too far back or if I did something like blatantly eat pork or meat pizza...
      Edit, I’ll also be working on a farm and managing a woodlot in the near future so I’m gathering new ideas for secure head coverings. I tore out too much hair wandering the woods as a kid. Shorter hair styles were far too much work when I had them.

      Col Jackson only if they follow the older strictures and are married. I think that the “reform Jewish” tends not to cover but I’m not the best at identifying the different groups. Theoretically married women are supposed to cover but depending on the group, wigs, hair dye, or a short hairstyle suffice. Something like Catholic women were supposed to be covered in church, the guidelines have been relaxed or entirely removed with the changing times

      What’s NOT pretty is oppression of women. It’s not, to me, that this hairstyle isn’t functional and lovely; it’s that some religious sects do not allow women to make their own choice as to how they present themselves that is not-so lovely. 💖

      I was raised Wesleyan Holiness, and went to a private Mennonite school. I stayed with my best friend up there quite a bit. Their sect also used the white mesh/molded type coverings that had strings in the back. The "umarrieds" were one string connected on both sides, the "marrieds" were two strings hanging on each side that tucked down into their dress. They won't connect to the internet though, they are very old fashioned.

    Hi....My relatives are Mennonites....but they never wore their hair that way . When they got old they went to a Mennonite home that cares for the elderly. I remember my Aunts both of them wore long hair .I use to watch them brushing it out .They braided their hair and put the braids up around their heads....like Germans use to do. They wore nets like you have to help keep their hair in place while they worked in their gardens. Their gardens were very important to them. They never wore make-up and I thought their hair was beautiful ....very thick , unlike mine. I learned as a kid to braid my long hair very fast.....even in the dark.... before morning . Oh , I almost forgot.....My relative always wore a scarf covering her head when she went out ...in the way old Russian women do... tied under their chin. She never learned to drive a car ....neither did I.

      Where I live we have Mennonites and Hutterites. The Mennonite women wear the tiny white caps trimmed with lace. Every single one I've seen is tall and slim no matter the age. They normally wear below the knee jean skirts and a modest top. They are not friendly in the shops will politely say thank you but never engage in conversation or say Hi. Normally they avoid eye contact with outsiders. On the other hand the Hutterite ladies will engage in conversation even laugh with outsiders. They wear bright purple pink blue flowered paisley homemade dresses store purchased European shoes different conservative styles brands with matching polka dot or striped head scarf. Several carry design handbags wear sunglasses shop in The Body Shop as an example. They also have cell phones; both men & women. The men boys also dress alike black pants white shirts homemade same style waist length black jackets white cowboy hats in summer black felt cowboy hats in winter or black fur hats.The Hutterites in other areas I've lived aren't as wealthy and the women girls do not wear the bright colours or expensive accessories. Nor do the men dress alike.

    Very nice video! It looks so simple when it's all done, but there are a lot of steps. I especially liked the bobby-pin on top for Sundays. I always had a hard time keeping my scarf on back in the day when I used to wear one, which was a fashion, not a religious requirement. We have a Mennonite neighbor who is the very nicest person! I had a friend in school who also was Mennonite, and she was a lovely, calm person. It's nice to see someone who isn't a make-up maniac in skimpy clothes.

      That wasn't necessary. You chose to take it as patronising. I have learned that many American ladies speak like this, especially the older ladies and they are just being kind and enthusiastic. I feel like that when I go back to my old meeting house, the Quaker ladies are also very sweet in a group. What's wrong with that?

    The two top pins I remember as being strait not crinkle pins. They are strong and ordered from an amish/mennonite store, better than what you get at walmart or walgreens. Monica Rose is correct it takes a while to learn, one wants it smooth and not lumpy. If you make it too tight though you will pull hair out or give yourself a headache. Some will "thin" their hair or cut it so it's not so heavy. Thank you for posting this! Brings back memories.

    So many cultures have women (and sometimes men) cover their heads as a show of modesty and/or reverence and/or immediate identification of being part of a certain group. The deliberate and persnickety specifications can be just as exacting in other groups/cultures/religions. More often than not, there is more emphasis on the women's head/hair covering than of the men's -- perhaps for obvious reasons of women often being regarded as somehow responsible for keeping men's 'urges' in check and/or refraining from being seen as somehow solicitous ... (let alone in monotheistic religions and their view of women as seductresses) - though there are quite a few groups that enforce strict clothing code on men, as well. Thank you for this peek into the minutia of what was part of your daily life and is still part of the lives of many.

      Yes, men seem to blame those evil succubusses for their urges! It makes me get angry that men have controlled women for thousands of years! Now im wondering if it will go too far the other way? Why do peoplr have to try to control each other. It sucks. I lived at a hare krishna farm in Australia & young ex surfie guys, who had become krishna devotees were bossing good women around, telling them to lower their eyes when the men walked past & to sit away from the men & to eat after the men ate. Heck, women werent even allowed to sit in the ffont of a dual cab car. We girls were tossed into the back of the ute, like a couple of cows! Made me sick to the stomach. Some would be legitimate & live by holy principles but most of those men were ex pot smokers, ex drug addicts, gays who dislike women to start with, gun toting criminals, its people who cant fit in to normal life & are looking for an escape so then just find some organisation where they could get dole money under different names, have kids to several of the women & everyone shares the kids & get government money, then they would go out selling asian paintings, lying to businesses & get thousands upon thousands for some painting they paid $20 for. Im not making this stuff up. Im related to several of these men. Their children are then left with nothing when they become adults. I might add, very confused adults. There, ive had my gripe about hare krishnas, men & all people who scam. I dont believe the Memmonites would ever do anyrhing like that - they are honest, honourable people. But i still dont like the way religions downtrod women. I dislike it immensely!
      Ive stated a truth about australian krishnas. I dont know what theyre like overseas but here they dont care for the other people of our country & it justifies their dishonesty. Their original guru said they can be dishonest in business expecially to all the 'moochi' (dirty) meat eaters! Intolerable!
      Now il get bad mojo from telling it like it is, when im supposed to be all forgiving & love everyone arghhh!

      @@twodogzdogue8710 I am sorry for your difficult experience. I don't know much about life in Hare Krishna farms, but I've heard from a couple of people beside you who'd lived in them, and they tell similar stories of exploitation and being shamed. Alas, this seems to be the case in many closed communities, especially those that preach their way as THE way. In reality, there are many ways to be a good human (and it may or may not involve God or Gods or embodiment thereof) -- and there are good people in all religions and religious sects. Some have a lesser view of some within their community (women, often, get the brunt of it) than others, but overall, my comment was less about the subjugation of women than it was about the similarities between many cultures in the way dress and manner of dress (and even the exactness of pleats in one's hair and the length of one's headdress) becomes signifying of belonging or group hierarchy. It is fascinating to me.

      Speaking of thick long hair, my hair is all pinned in a roll kind of long bun because ive got to apend a hour getting all the knots out of it.
      Ive always had unruly hair but now im on the other side of menopause, its got so dry & whatever used to make it naturally shiny doesnt seem to be in my system to keep this mop shiny & it seems to get heaps more knots. In a perfect world, id be going to a hairdresser to get a couple inches cut off every 6 weeks for 2 years to try to look after it better but i actually find i cant TRUST hairdressers not to try & take the whole length off. They have this innate urge to cut off all length on hair, like its some fetish they have or theyre jealous or perhaps its as simple as getting money for hair? Who would know lol. But yes, iv been scrolling here on youtube when in reality, i should be detangling! SERIOUSLY detangling - this detangle is an extra big job as iv not done it for a while!

If she keeps her hair like this during the day it won't tangle and break and can be brushed smoothed to coil up in the cap. My daughter has even longer hair which is thick and curly when loose.but she keeps it plaited at night and always up and covered when out yet even knowing what beautiful condition it's in, I'm still surprised how sleek and neat a bun she can make in a few minutes, standing, chatting with no mirror. She has a very full and busy life,of course! Looking after your hair isn't a full time occupation!
