The original headband is the product of desert and heat

There are many functions of headscarves, mainly Yemeni headscarves, which have a wide range of uses. An Arab friend told the reporter that Yemeni men are very chic, and they "play" with their headscarves: they are usually used as hats, unfolded as packages when shopping, used as cushions when praying, and covered with wind and sand on their faces when the wind blows, used as a bedding when sleeping, and can be used as a towel when washing your face. The hijab can basically be said to be closely related to the living environment of the Arabs. At the beginning, the raging wind and sand and the unpredictable weather gave the Arabs a headscarf, so the headscarf is also a product of the desert and hot environment.

The turban has accompanied the Arabs through a long period of time. Its function has changed from wind and sun shade, sun protection and cold protection to a decoration, and a "turban culture" and "turban politics" have also evolved. An Arab friend once told reporters that the headscarf of Arab men is not only a part of clothing, but also has connotations related to honor or related to culture and politics. No wonder, Arafat's headscarf is also considered a symbol of his struggle for the nation and the establishment of the state.
