Traditional turbans date back to the 1st century, with yardage of fabric wrapped so as to cover the head. Originally worn by men, the style was adapted by modern women of the 1940s.
One main identifying feature of the turban is the ability to completely or almost completely cover the head. They are almost always crafted with fabric, sometimes a solid piece but mostly wrapped.
