The history of the much loved hair accessory is so diverse, its hard to tell which region or culture deserves credit for it. Regions in the world have their own form of turbans. According to historical recordings and timelines ( using such words bores me but fashion still has history, so we'll use ''historical''), turbans were first seen or worn in the 14th century when the Moonsh were seeing a downfall in Spain. Man use to cover their heads with wrapped clothes(turbans). Ussually, it was worn over a skull cap, crown and a long bonnet.
The people of Persia also wore a cone-shaped cap that was encircled by bands of cloth. In Sudan they used the turban to protect themselves from swirling sand. This practice spread to some countries. Even the Native Americans in the US wore it to protect their heads. In Turkey, it was different because the turban revealed a person's social standing.
Hollywood also adopted this rather cultural trend, with actresses making it chic to wear turbans. The history is rich and diverse and every country take credits.
