Shemagh, one of the most versatile gears you may carry:

I do my desert hikes in Shemagh country. Still I don't use one, but usually wear a cap and add a buff if needed.

At home I carry a balaclava too (at least in rough weather), but dont take it to the Middle East: A black balaclava down there would have the same effect as a Shemagh in the USA.

I bet it if had the right college football emblem on it (or maybe NASCAR?), that's one reason you'd have no trouble at all in the South!

Give me a deep orange one with Clemson Tiger paws on it!

I wore one on my Sierra hike this week. Great when it was cooler but I switched back to my tried and true cut up capliene 1 version which I still prefer in the Heat.
