Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is just as though her head were shaved.

No. This doctrine cannot be found in the Old Testament. Verse 16 partially explains:

In other words: "This is what all the Christian churches at the current time practice, and that's the reason that you (reading this letter) should also follow this rule."
