The way in which the kerchief was tied around the head differed from village to village. In general, women who tied their hair tightly to the nape, in two plaits, over which they placed a small cloth bonnet (căiță), tied below the chin, wore their hair completely covered. To the forehead was tied a ribbon decorated with beads. Over these two items was worn a loom-woven cotton kerchief.
