It is Sunnah to cover your head when you are praying and that was a way of showing respect in the old days and even now days where I live wearing "ghutra" is considered a respectful thing to wear in front of older people and ministers and such. also its not a must do in prayers. :)
Answer:
Covering the head, like many things in Islam, paralells things in Jewish Law. It has always been a sign of humility and modesty. Uncovering the head, on the other hand, has always been a sign of vanity and pride.
The Prophet Muhammad covered his head and recommended it to his followers.
It is a demonstration of modesty and respect. However, it is not an obligation for Muslim men to cover their heads. Only Muslim women are required to wear Hijab covering their heads, hair, neck, and breast but not necessarily covering faces and hands.
The Muslim prayer cap is used for protecting your head from sacred thoughts and myths around the planet and ground you walk in
If Muslim's don't wear the prayer cap in the next 10 daysyou will break your leg 10 days after that you will break your arm 10 days after that you will die so bewarned!
Our beloved Prophet (SAW) used to wear turban. Thus many of the Muslims follow his tradition, especially while offering prayer. Anyhow, it is not obligatory, and many of the Muslims don't wear caps. The Jews also wear caps.
For men, it is not compulsory to wear a head cap during praying.
for women, it is compulsory to wear a whole body cloth that is covering also head and hair but not covering face and hands (to wrest).
In order to show their identity as a Muslim as this is one of the ways they are recognised as a Muslim. It is also said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) wore a black turban.
it s not rule for men but its kind of respect
The traditional posture for the Muslim prayers that are made five times a day facing Mecca is kneeling, with the head bowed all the way to the prayer mat. However, religion and prayer take many forms.
Muslims do not drink alcohol or eat pork, ham, bacon, etc.Muslims pray five times a day: at dawn, around noon, in the afternoon, after sunset, and at night. Therefore, if you are an employer, you should consider allowing your Muslim employees five minutes or so to pray the noon prayer. If this is not possible, Muslims can also make up the prayer at the end of the work day.Friday is when Muslims have Jumaa prayer, in which Muslims gather, listen to a sermon, and pray. Again, if you are an employer, you should allow your Muslim employees to go to the mosque during this time.Most Muslim women choose to wear hijab, or a head scarf. This shouldn't pose a problem, but as an employer or fellow worker, you should be aware.Muslims come from all races and nationalities, so there is no one culture that all Muslims belong to.Finally, Muslims are people too.
During prayer our beloved prophet Muhamamd swah head was covered all the time. Weather it was headcap or not is something I don't know. Sorry for that. But if possible always cover your head during Salah. Even if you don't cover your head you Salah will be complete but try to improve on your Salah by covering your head.

scarf/cloth
You don't have to. While you can go to a mosque for different reasons, Muslims usually go to offer prayers. Wudoo' (ablution) is a prerequisite for offering a prayer, that;s why they do so.
bITE OFFF IT S HEAD!
Women where hijabs.
Well, okay...All mosques feature:A mineretA prayer hallCarpet where no one is allowed to wear shoes onA domeAn aclove facing Mecca (called a Qa'bah)An Iman (like a head priest, he leads the prayer)An area for performing Wudu (cleaning the body before prayer)Islamic textsAnd a school trip, once in a while.Mosques can also have clocks to show the times of prayer, and a broadcaster's balcony, used for showing Muslims around the world the Friday sermons and the prayers.If any Muslims find any mistakes, or would like to add something, feel free.
Well you have to cover yourself (and your head) while you are praying but if you're not praying but you are in the house, you don't have to cover your head. Unless there are men who are not blood relative in there. Dahlia Nasir
Some religions, like Hinduism, Sikhism, and some branches of Buddhism, may not bow their heads during prayer. In these traditions, prayer practices vary and may not necessarily include the physical act of bowing.
hijab. it covers head, hair, and neck.
