Why wear a head cover?

The customary Jewish head covering (for simplicity, we'll call it a kippah [singular of kippot], although all the terms refer to approximately the same thing) - is a sign of humility for men, acknowledging what's "above" us (God). An additional explanation is that in ancient Rome, servants were required to cover their heads while freemen did not; thus, Jews covered their heads to show that they were servants of God. It's necessary for men to cover their heads during certain prayers (whether it be by a kippah or other headcovering), and for one making blessings all day, it's inconvenient to keep donning and removing a kippah, so we keep it on. In some places, the type of kippah expresses affiliation with a particular Orthodox community or political viewpoint. In other places, it doesn't really matter.

What do muslims wear on their head?

Muslim women wear, per religion, hijab (or scarf or headdress) covering head, hair, and neck but not covering face or hands. Muslim men are not required, per religion, to cover their heads unless traditionally they cover it. There is no particular head dress prescribed in Islam for men. It mostly depends on the cultural traditions and weather conditions of the area where a Muslim man lives. He may cover his head with a turban, hat, scarf, handkerchief etc.
