headscarf
Tied head wrap
A headscarf is a piece of fabric worn over the head, typically tied under the chin or at the back.
Women wear headscarves for warmth, fashion, or religious observance: She adjusted her headscarf before entering the mosque.
The term often appears in discussions of Muslim women's dress, though headscarves cross many cultures and faiths.
