Maybe they are all visiting Jews or Muslims?
Among Christians, however, I'm under the impression that Paul the Apostle to distinguish and break Christianity from Judaism, set forth in Corinthians the headcover as a sign of shame. One need recall that prior to Paul a large school of Christian thought saw Judaism and the acceptance of mitzvot as the path to Christianity. Christians covered their heads. The Roman senator Flavius Clemens and his wife Flavia Domitilla converted to Judaism. The Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches both suggest that they, however, followed the Christian movement. For many apostates the differences were not that clear cut. With Paul we see a formalization of a break through the separation of those that wear hats and those that don't.
