Wraps have been applied for many years. In fact, the Byzantine Army of soldiers had a specific style of turban known as the phakeolis.

These may be called scarves, head wraps or even turbans.

Kurdish people that wear these pieces refer to them as Jamadani. This may be worn in a different way depending on the local style. Many of these wraps consist of a long piece of cloth that has been tied around a conical hat. There are tassels that border the cloth and may fall down on the face. Many wear the turban in Pakistan, especially in rural regions. The color and style will depend on the area, but many Pakistanis mostly wear crestless and white turbans.
