It is so funny !!! Correct me if I am WRONG but for a muslim woman the point of the headscarf is to "hide your adornments" and those women who CHOOSE to wear them say it is because of their deep faith. So please can someone tell me why these pictures show women with make up so thick you could scrape it off with a trowel, and jewellery??? 
Surely both jewellery and makeup are an adornment and accentuate your features, such as eyes. These women are merely covering their hair, but sexing up the rest!!!!! 
It seems to me that it is less about deep faith and more about doing what you are told and trying to break the boundaries

Rosewitha's Youtube post was FAR more representative of Turksish women. Very stylish and cosmopolitan, yet maintaining Quranic modesty, whilst...
The latter webpost addressed a fundamentalist hijab, found in the Arab world (not Turkey - or at best- a miniscule percent of Turkish women/probably on the border regions).
It's important not to perpetuate stereotypes, or at least situate them contextually.

You're right. it's not hijab. Its just women with cloths around their heads. Who knows maybe they're wearing them because they think they have ugly hair. But in any case there's no point in them wearing them.
it kind of brings out their faces though, especially with all the make up. Definitely not hijab

Which kind of makes a mockery of their protests at not being able wear them in schools and universities then...

It just confirmed my thought that when a woman has the beauty in her face (and not just in her body) to attract a man, it doesnt matter if she covers up her hair or not.. She will remain attractive anyway.
But if we could speak about the women who really choose to wear headcovering on religious grounds, I am happy to see that Turkish women can look this 'fashionable' and attractive, yet follow the 'rules of their faith'.
The reason I just cant enjoy looking at headscarves is, that I never dare to trust the women who say they want this themselves..

I think it is the fashion of the typical higher middle class families with traditional roots, but who's made some bucks along the way.
But still it's pretty and its popular among the young fashionable women. Kind of reminds me of those classic actresses who wore them though theres still a significant difference.
