The meaning of Head-dress in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

Not in common use among the Hebrews. It is first mentioned in Exodus 28:40 (A.V., "bonnets;" RSV, "head-tires"). It was used especially for purposes of ornament (Job 29:14; Isaiah 3:23; 62:3). The Hebrew word here used, tsaniph , properly means a turban, folds of linen wound round the head. The Hebrew word peer , used in Isaiah 61:3, there rendered "beauty" (A.V.) and "garland" (RSV), is a head-dress or turban worn by females (Isaiah 3:: 20, "bonnets"), priests (Exodus 39:28), a bridegroom (Isaiah 61:10, "ornament;" RSV, "garland"). Ezekiel 16:10 and Jonah 2:5 are to be understood of the turban wrapped round the head. The Hebrew shebisim (Isaiah 3:18), in the Authorized Version rendered "cauls," and marg. "networks," denotes probably a kind of netted head-dress. The "horn" (Heb. keren) mentioned in I Samuel 2:1 is the head-dress called by the Druses of Mount Lebanon the tantura.
