Summary/Abstract: The study presents the terminology related to women‘s hairstyles and headscarves in the Rhodope area, excerpted from various ethnographic, regional history and dialectological studies. The names of women‘s hairstyles are analyzed, mainly the varieties in braiding, as well as the types of scarves and decorations in braiding and head scarves. Terminological unity is observed in a number of names of women‘s hairstyles and head scarves, characteristic of the two confessional groups, while at the same time there is diversity in their varieties, named with terminological phrases. Many terms are characterized by polysemy, synonymy and transferability (based on metaphorical and metonymic transmission), as the main word-forming model is the affixal. The excerpted material is also characterized byorigin – the share of home vocabulary in the names of hairstyles, headscarves (pads andscarves) and their ornaments.
