That's it. You'd have to decide that the bandana was jewelry.
1.11 (j) Players must not wear jewelry such as, but not limited to, rings, watches, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, nor any hard cosmetic/decorative items. This applies regardless of the composition of such jewelry, hard cosmetic item or hard decorative item. EXCEPTION: Jewelry that alerts medical personnel to a specific condition is permissible.
Never seen a hard bandana.
The rules instruction manual makes a referfece to the joke (their word) about anything you weren't born with.

OK, so it is your interpretation of 1.11 (a) that anything worn on the head that isn't jewelry is optional, that it isn't limited to hats and visors?
Suppose a player chose to place a beehive, complete with bees on her head. Since it isn't jewelry, nor a hard item, you would allow that, right? How about a paper plate with a banana and peanut butter sandwich? Or a Mexican sombrero; that's a hat, right, so she can wear it? Star Wars stormtrooper helmet?
Yeah, certainly extreme, and even foolish examples. But if you have no line drawn anywhere, then they should all be allowable. Unless you read 1.11 (a) to limit what is legal headwear.
