Headdresses of Kashkadarya women were notable for variety, embroidery technique and its composition.
Carpet embroidery using the iroqi technique gave them a special originality and distinguished them from other similar headdresses in Uzbekistan.

Women also wore a variety of headscarves tied around the kulta. The chambar shoh was the traditional old headdress of the older women in Kashkadarya. It consisted of ten headscarves wound in the shape of horns and protected the woman's head from the scorching sun.
