You may not think "Utah Curls", pictured below on the case of "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives", and Amish dress have much in common. But they do, strangely. Both religions are an offshoot of works-based faiths.
A works-based Christian faith might not expressly state that the way to God is to "be good", but they operate that way. "Utah curls" signals that you are an attractive wife and mother, with her husband, home and children in such good care that she can afford to maintain expensive hair extensions. Meanwhile, the modest Amish woman of the same age is careful to put her clothes on correctly, including tucking her long hair into a cap. Both are outward signs that the woman is "good".
Taking this approach undermines the very heart of Christianity, which asserts that there is NOTHING you can do to earn your way to God--He did it, He earned the way, because He's the only one who could.
The world loves all kinds of "religious signs" though, which has been the mark of the "religious" since the beginning.....

Exemplified by The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, these curls are a fascinating portal into a very specific way of life
