A ring or circular band worn on the head, often used decoratively or ceremonially.
From 'head' (the top of the body) and 'ring' (a circular band, from Old English 'hring'). This term appears in historical and cultural contexts involving headdresses.
In some African and Asian cultures, headrings weren't just ornaments—they indicated social status, marital status, and wealth, making your head literally advertise who you were in society.
