kippa yarmulka - Women and girls covering their heads when lighting candles


I'm not sure how widespread the following practice is, since, as a man - and even since I was a young boy - I have always taken little notice of other women and girls outside my immediate family as I (usually hurriedly) leave my home and go to Shul on Friday afternoons and 'Erev Yom Tov.

How widespread is this practice, and is it required (at least by some)?
