wearing the non-Islamic "yemeni" headscarfs.]] Headscarves are Scarves covering most or all of the top of a woman's hair and her head. Headscarves may be worn for a variety of purposes, such as Fashion or social distinction, religious signifiance, modesty, or other forms of social convention. TYPES OF HEADSCARVES Headscarves may have specific religious significance. Married Jewish women, for example, are required to cover their heads, often employing scarves (or sometimes wigs) for the purpose. Headscarves and veils used for Muslim Religious Dress include:
Note that the Arabic word '' Hijab '' refers to modest behaviour in general, and pertains to men and women, but it is sometimes used in other languages to describe the Muslim headscarf, also known as a ''khimar''. Sometimes foreigners use the word " Babushka " (grandma in Russian ) to indicate the headscarf tied below the chin, as commonly used in Eastern Europe . In most parts of Eastern Europe, headscarves are used mainly by elderly women (grandmothers) and this led the incorrect use of the "babushka" term. In Russia they are often worn by young girls to show their convictions to Russian Orthodoxy.
