Married, ultra orthodox (very religious), Jewish women are required to cover their heads in public either by wearing a hat or by wearing a wig. They also cover their arms with long sleeves, wear long skirts and wear nylons, even in summer.
Ultra orthodox, Jewish men wear black hats, long black coats, white button down shirts, black pants, knickers or tights, and black shoes.
The curls on the sides of their head are called payot (also peyot, payos, and peyes). The Hebrew word in English translates as corners, sides, or edges. They leave the sides of their hair alone in deference to a Torah portion, Lev 19:27, which says, " do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard".
