Answer:
The wearing of these things in prayer is not obligatory since covering the head is not from the conditions of the prayer. However, if you are in a land where the custom is to wear these, and they are regarded from the completion of a person’s dress, then it is necessary to wear them due to the saying of Allaah, “O Children of Aadam, take your adornment while praying…” [al-A’raaf: 31]
So if part of beautification is that a person wears something on his head such as a turban, a headscarf or a cap, then it is recommended for him to wear that during the prayer. As for when you are in a land of a people who do not have this as a custom, and this is not from their beautification then stay as you are.
