Scarves are awesome when I have bad hair day! Or I have too much gray roots and I'm out of henna.
In my country it's always been normal for girls to wear a head scarf on sunny sommer days to prevent sunstroke, so it's not religious here, at least in summer (and in winter it's hard to wear scarf because you need to wear the winter hat). I find head scarves beautiful.. but they are a little challenging because you must set it good or it looks like you're cleaning, because here scarves have been used as a cleaning clothe too..

I wear a head scarf or a wide headband or a hat to church on Sundays, but I also wear them otherwise. For hats I love the fedora style the best, some western hats, and a baseball cap. A square scarf tied behind my neck is a cute style, and I have some very wide, stretchy headband style coverings that close with a clasp behind my neck. I made one myself and should make more colors, as I like the scarf to coordinate with my outfit!
The scarves are very good for protecting my hair and head in the summer, and also of course to hide dirty hair...

Re: babushka, here we call the specific type of flowery scarves babushka scarves I actually have one too. Mine is smaller and I wear it as a triangle on my head, tied in the back of neck. The larger ones are usually used tied around the neck in the winter. Those scarves are a part of our traditional dress for women.

I grew up in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and there everyone called a large scarf that was tied under the chin a Babushka. My mum had my sister and I wear them a lot as children.

I enjoy wrapping my hair turban style, not for religious reasons specifically, but there is a sort of spiritual feeling I get from hiding my hair from view. I'm not affiliated with any religion. Head covering, of any sort, are for everyone in my opinion!
