kerchief
Folded head covering
A kerchief is a square piece of cloth worn on the head or around the neck, typically folded into a triangle.
The word comes from French terms meaning "cover the head," which explains its original purpose, though kerchiefs now serve decorative as well as practical functions.
A handkerchief is a small kerchief carried for wiping the nose or face.
She tied a kerchief over her hair before going out in the wind.
