I have a question:
I will be attending an orthodox synagogue for the first time soon. Since I am unmarried, but in my mid-thirties, should I wear a head covering?  If so should my hair be completely covered?  Thank you for your help.

There is no need to wear a head covering.  (In fact, if you're seeking a marriage partner it might be good advertising to *not* wear a hat.  This is akin to not wearing a wedding ring in secular or Christian society.)

A site visitor writes:

In your answer to the single woman that asked about head covering, you gave the Askhenazi custom, among the Sefardim ALL the women cover their head (not completely, sometimes they wear a heat, others just use a piece of clothing - almost transparent) .

Best,
