The character of Princess Margaret is actually a composite of Henry's older sister, Margaret Tudor, and his younger sister, Mary Tudor. Margaret married the King of Scotland and Mary the King of France, Louis XII. When the French king died less than a year after their marriage, Mary did indeed marry Charles Brandon in secret.
At the time, noblewomen wore hoods to conceal their hair as a sign of modesty, and free hair was considered scandalous. Most women in this series are shown with free hair. As a deeply religious woman, Katharine would not have been seen with her hair visible. She always wore an English gable hood which concealed the entire scalp.
The Tudors is about as close to perfection as a show of its genre can get. I understand people may argue that there are many historical inaccuracies but these become irrelevant when you realise the quality of the sets, scripts and not to forget the incredible acting.
I also think that the costume department also deserve an enormous amount of credit for designing royal attire that would have been fit for any Tudor King or Queen. As soon as you see the women walk out in their gorgeous dresses and the men in their traditional Tudor dress you are pulled into the world of Henry V111's court, a world, which thanks to this beautifully made show, I would never want to leave.
