I know in other parts of Africa, there are head scarves, but no one seems to do it like the Nigerians do. So many looks from basically a rectangular piece of fabric.

I remember seeing a mother unwrap a layer of her headdress and use it to sling her baby onto her back. She still had a beautiful wrap for her head and baby was safely strapped onto her back.
