15 Things The Amish Community Don’t Want You To Know Today, you’ll learn all the things the Amish community really doesn’t want you to know. Let’s get to it! The Hair An instant vision you get when someone mentions an Amish woman is the hair covering. Not to be confused with a bonnet... and far from a bandana... this hair covering is called a prayer covering. A simple name that really clues you in to its origins. Yes, it is steeped in religion and Amish women must have their hair covered at all times. In fact, they need to keep that prayer covering in good shape too, so when they head outside or travel, the covering gets a covering! That’s when the bonnet comes into play. Side note: bandannas seem to never come into play here. And though they go to great lengths to keep their coverings clean, they don’t necessarily do too much to keep their reputation clean.
