The AA does teach a women should have long hair, it does not teach it is a sin to cut it. The veil is used when praying or prophesying. So, they do not teach the physical hair is a covering,They believe a women should cover her head physically when praying. This custom comes from the spanish culture which has its roots in Roman Catholicism.
