My understanding is that shemagh is a long scarf that wraps around the neck and face as well as up over the head.

A turban is headgear and, in the West at least, is pre-tied and sewed together so that is only looks as if it might have been wrapped about the head. It does not cover the face or next. Turbans have been popular with women in the US from time to time since the early 1800's and maybe before.

A turban is a type of headwear that is wrapped around the head, often as a religious or cultural symbol. A shemagh, on the other hand, is a traditional Middle Eastern headscarf that is usually worn around the neck or head for protection from the sun, wind, or sand. Turbans are typically larger and more intricate in their wrapping style compared to shemaghs.
