It's based in the same ancient traditions of Middle Eastern origins that regulates headcoverings for Jewish and Muslim women. This custom had also spread to Rome.
Paul says in Corinthians 11:5-6:
*5*But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is the same as having her head shaved.*
6*For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
