Headscarf
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"There is not a single woman who would wear the yashmak if her father, husband or son were to tell her, “take off that yashmak, because it is a terrible thing for you, for your life, for your health, because the yashmak does not make you any more honest than the unveiled women. It is not the yashmak that guards your reputation, therefore throw it to the face of the Ottomans who invented it”. --Enver Hoxha |

Headscarves may be worn for a variety of purposes, such as for warmth, for sanitation, for fashion or social distinction; with religious significance, to hide baldness, out of modesty, or other forms of social convention.
