I want to know why during worship in african catholic churches women cover their hairs during Eucharistic celebrations and this is not obtainable in other parts of the world.

It used to be a common practice for women to wear a veil when attending Church. There is no special veil a woman has to wear when doing so… though many people sell nice lace ones.

You can easily do so yourself… either by buying a chapel veil from a Catholic supplier or even by simply wearing a hat on your head. I know a large family with almost all girl children who use berets to hold lace doilies in their hair for Church.

It’s not required that women do that anymore. That went out with the Latin Mass.
 
This is no longer required but you may do so if you wish.

Neither veils nor the Latin Mass ever “went out.” The Latin Mass, provided it is celebrated according to the current missal, is the official Mass of the Church. Veils are and continue to be a legitimate option (and a pious one at that) for those women who choose to exercise it. To suggest that veils (went out) the way bell-bottoms and leisure suits did, as though it were simply a statement of fashion and not of due reverence is frankly offensive.

I agree with FenianMan. Veils are always allowed and appropriate during Mass. The Latin Mass is still used (not nearly as often as it should be IMHO). I wish EVERY US parish would have one mass a week in Latin if for no other reason than to give those people who adore the Latin Mass a place within the parish so that they don’t feel the need to travel XX miles to another parish. Another good argument for this would be for those who travel outside of their respective home countries to be able to understand and participate in a Mass familiar to them.
Okay, didn’t mean to change the topic here. I’ll step off the soapbox now.
God bless.
