Assalaamu Alaikum.

Assuming that all (or most) men during Prophet Muhammad, sws' times did keep a beard, I came across the following:

[b]"About the moustache and the beard, the Prophet said: “Act against the polytheists, trim closely the moustache and grow beard”.  The next hadis substitutes the word “fire-worshippers” for “polytheists.” The translator provides the rationale for this injunction: “Islam created a new brotherhood on the basis of belief and good conduct. . . . For the identification of faces, the Muslims have been ordered to trim the moustache and wear the beard, so that they may be distinguished from the non-Muslims who grow a moustache and shave beard”.
[/b]

Also, see Sahih Muslim, Book 002, Number 0501: 
[b]
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Trim closely the moustache, and grow beard, and thus act against the fire-worshippers.
[/b]
Just thought I'd share this, and see if it can help us determine the requirement of the covering of head for women....

Wasalaam.
