Why do Arabs wear white cloth on their heads?

The headscarf is the product of desert and heat.

The headscarf has many functions, especially the Yemeni headscarf, which is widely used. An Arab friend told reporters that Yemeni men are very chic. They "play" headscarves everywhere: they are usually used as hats, opened as cushions when shopping, used as cushions when going to church, covered with sandstorms when it is windy, used as bedding when sleeping, and used as towels when washing their faces.

The headscarf is fundamentally related to the living environment of Arabs. At the beginning, the raging sandstorm and changeable weather made Arabs have headscarves, so headscarves are also the product of desert and hot environment.

Extended data:

From the color point of view, the Arab headscarf was originally only white and beige, and then gradually developed into color. Except for men in Sudan and other countries who like to wear pure white, ordinary Arabs prefer variegated headscarves, especially mixed colors such as white, red, black, blue and purple.

In Oman, there are different colors. Red, blue and yellow headscarves are for royalty, while ordinary people can only use white or plain colors.

Look from the style, generally divided into wearing a headband and not wearing a headband. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and other Gulf countries all put headscarves on their headscarves.

Mauritania, Algeria, Oman and other North African countries, both Gulf countries, do not wear hair bands for men. The headband is a ring made of camel hair, mostly black and white. There is also a long ribbon to match hairband, which looks handsome and free and easy to wear on your head.
