I wasn't talking about this thread in particular, but more in general.

I would say to that: Learn to use google.
If you are, for example, looking for the name of something which people
wear on their head, try googling for something like "headgear". The first
hit was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headgear
Browsing the list of headgear in that page, the most promising one seems
to be "hair covers", which includes "kerchief", which is probably what you
were looking for.
I know it's "easier" to just ask in a forum, and at the same time you
get to "communicate" with people, and asking a few times is just ok.
It's just that if you ask too many (usually simple) questions too often
you'll start giving a negative impression of yourself.
You may argue that it was a completely valid and simple question,
but arguing that is missing the point. I'm not commenting on this question
in particular.
