The morality police had significantly withdrawn after widespread protests erupted following the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini in September.
Protests have now largely died down, but many women chose to flout the dress code, especially in the capital, Tehran.
Police spokesman General Saeed Muntazer Al-Mahdi said yesterdsy that the morality police will resume notifying women who do not wear headscarves in public places and then detain them if they do not comply.
