Tribal headdresses can be used to increase [[Social Impact]] in the very early game, before you have access to a [[hand tailor bench]]. [[Veil]]s cost less material, they take less work to make, they protect just as much against bullets, insulate better against temperature, and they cover the entire face, whilst the tribal headdress only covers the head and ears. Social Impact increases [[opinion]] impact (positive and negative), and boosts the qualify of certain [[ritual]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}. When used for rituals, only 1 person needs a headdress, and it can be taken off as soon as the ritual is over.

Once you have researched [[Research#Complex clothing|Complex clothing]], there is even less purpose for this item. The [[hood]] offers the same protection, somewhat better heat insulation, costs the same amount of material and work to make, and offers +20% Social Impact instead of +15%.

Ideally, you should not be using a tribal headdress for combat, but if you have no other materials, then it offers ''some'' sort of protection. It is better to swap to some sort of helmet when engaging in battle. A steel [[simple helmet]] beats a [[hyperweave]] headdress, the best material of headdress, of the same quality. If you have spare hyperweave leftover, it's likely better to use it on the more protective veil instead.

Thus, the tribal headdress has a very small niche: when you have access to fabric AND when you need a Social Impact boost, but before you have access to Complex Clothing. You may also want to use a tribal headdress if you obtain a particularly great / high quality one for protection in the early game.
