Well the bible says that men are to remove their head cover during prayer because if not they are dishonoring themselves while woman are to put on a head covering because it brings angels into the situation. Praying with a group or by yourself the choice is yours. Some people use the excuse that woman's hair is their covering but in that case all men should be bald!

Gareth, that's what the Bible says: 1 Corinthians 11 Living Bible 11 "And you should follow my example, just as I follow Christ’s. 2 I am so glad, dear brothers, that you have been remembering and doing everything I taught you. 3 But there is one matter I want to remind you about: that a wife is responsible to her husband, her husband is responsible to Christ, and Christ is responsible to God. 4 That is why, if a man refuses to remove his hat while praying or preaching, he dishonors Christ." I do it to honor God.
