head scarves

Fabric for hair

Head scarves is the plural of head scarf—a piece of fabric worn over the head and often tied under the chin.

Head scarves serve practical purposes (protecting hair from wind or keeping it in place) and religious or cultural ones (modesty requirements in various traditions).
