head scarf
What is a head scarf called?
Among the many terms for head-coverings made of flexible cloth are wimple, hennin, kerchief, gable hood, as well as light hats, mob caps and bonnets.
A form of headscarf, known as the hijab, is often seen in Muslim countries and is born out of tradition. It is worn by some Muslim women who consider it to be a religious ordainment, and its style varies by culture.[10] Not all Muslims believe that the hijab in the context of head covering is a religious ordainment in the Quran.[11][12]

For fashion and ceremonial usage, the gele is a traditional headscarf of Yoruba women for fashionable purposes.
