headcloth
Fabric skull covering
A headcloth is a piece of fabric worn on or wrapped around the head.
The term is general, covering everything from traditional religious coverings to practical protection from sun or dust.
It overlaps with more specific terms like headscarf, turban, and keffiyeh, but emphasizes the cloth itself rather than a particular style of wearing it.
