ÑA headdress was the essential part in Russian national clothes. If girls wore an open plait, but hair of married women kept within round a head and were cleaned then under the closed headdresses - a kokoshnik, “morshen”, “borushka”, “kikha”, “sorocka”.
Each region of Russia, and often district also had the certain form, own decor and even the specific name of a headdress. Among northern headdresses the maiden bandages of areas of the rivers of Mezen, Pinegi and Northern Dvina are interesting. Women from rich families wore very elegant kokoshniks embroidered by pearls and gold threads.
Êokoshniks were often covered entirely by small river pearls. Over kokoshniks put on white scarves, embroidered gold, or patten shawls. Such is a kokoshnik of the beginning 18th in meeting of a museum from the Tver province. Narrow and high under the form a female headdress of the Kostroma region decorated pearl “podniz” (thread or some the bound threads with strung pearls, beads), going down to eyebrows.

“Borushkha” from Vologda is the closed female headdress consisting of “ochelie” (semicircular front guard of a kokoshnik) on the firm basis and the bottom. “Borushkha” is usually decorated by a gold embroidery, nacre, glasses. Kokoshnik from Solvychegodsky district of the Vologda province is a little similar on “borushkha”. It consists of two parts: proper kokoshnik and “samshura” (headdress with firm flat top of the round, oval, trapezoid form, with rather narrow soft cap band, fastened on a nape tapes), which was put in kokoshnik for form maintenance.
Almost in all regions of Russia the technique of gold sewing was applied to a headdress ornament. Such sewing covered small Ryazan “kikha” (celebratory headdress of the married woman) with red small horns from a red bunting, graceful “sorocka” of Voronezh, kokoshniks of the former Novgorod land. Various metal spangles used also with gold sewing. The wedding headdress - "sorokha” consisted of three parts: “kikha” with small sharp horns, headdress on back of head and proper "sorokha” heel-figurative forms.
