In that particular time a woman exposing her hair was considered loose and lacking morals. There should be a distinction made between the meaning of the text and it's significance. The meaning is "what" it say to people in that culture, the significance is how it applies to our cultural situation today. In culture context it's imperative for women to wear a veil in church.

Also there is a difference in command and culture. Commands of Scripture are absolute (no matter what your culture is)- culture itself on the other hand is relative. Example most Christian do not greet with a Holy kiss anymore (IThes. 5: 26) There are principles behind these commands that are absolute (Dont disrespect your husband) but the practice is not.

>happening now!

In this passage Pual is not talking about a women's role in the church. He's talking about having orderly services and that women shouldn't disrupt the service (v.35) "...inquiring about something, they should ask their own husbands at home;" This "something" refers to things not orientated to church.
Paul doesn't forbid women to talk in church because in Icor11: 5
"he states how women should wear their veil while praying or prophesing in church." (paraphrased) What he does forbid is disrupting service by some ladies yappa de yapping with their husband, when they could yappa di yap with him about that stuff at home. Paul also forbid men to talk at certain times as well. (Icor 14: 28)
