Headscarves or head scarves are scarves covering most or all of the top of a woman's hair and her head, leaving the face uncovered. Apart from the keffiyeh of the Middle East, headscarves worn by men are much less common and usually for practical purposes. Headscarves may be worn for a variety of purposes, such as protection of the head or hair from rain, wind, dirt, cold, warmth, for sanitation, for fashion, recognition or social distinction; with religious significance, to hide baldness, out of modesty, or other forms of social convention.
