Kippah: A Blessing On Your Head

"Question 11.1.2: Dress: Why do many Jewish men wear head coverings (variously referred to as "yarmulkas," "skullcaps," and "kipot")?"
from FAQS.org, includes link to previous article concerning hair covering for women
On Covering Hair in Public:
It is an obligation min haTorah (from the Torah)
for a married woman to have her hair covered whenever
she is in a public area or appears amongst a large number
of people. Chazal (our sages) labeled hair
of a married woman "ervah" (area
that must be covered) and it is therefore ossur
(prohibited) mid'Rabanan (from the sages) to
say a bracha (blessing) when looking at such
hair, be it another woman's hair which he may not see,
or his own wife's which he may see.
It is an obligation mid'Rabanan (from our sages) for a married woman to cover her hair when she is not in the public eye but she could be seen by men who are not part of her intimate family, e.g. when she goes out to the porch or yard. The issur (prohibition) applies even if she can only be seen by one individual, such as when she opens the door to a stranger.
