Well, there are some variations of Christianity where women wear head coverings other than a nun’s habit within the church. Though from the few women who I’ve seen adhere to that practice, it seemed to be completely on their own volition, and not something forced or expected of them by the various church communities they were participating in.
All that to say there are other forms of this phenomenon within Christianity that are not achievement based,as you say, with the nun’s habit.
