The term 'Asian HEADDRESS' can refer to a variety of traditional headwear worn in many Asian countries. One such type of HEADDRESS is the TURBAN, which is a long piece of cloth wound around the head and often secured with a knot. The word 'TURBAN' is derived from the Persian word for 'HEADDRESS' and is typically associated with Islamic culture. Turbans are commonly worn by men in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other parts of South Asia.
