There are male Hrothgar and Mamool Ja wearing the same turban in the trailer. It looks to be a traditional headpiece of the Turali people. Wuk Lamat is a Turali Hrothgar known as a Xbr'aal and everything so far suggests our player models will be Ilsebardian Hrothgar just like our playable male Hrothgar. There's no reason our Ilsebardian Hrothgar character customization would include Turali headgear. Also, Wuk Lamat's hairstyle is most likely entirely unique to her. We know there's a model that excludes the hat because she's not wearing it in the CGI trailer or the poster.

We already know they're in the process of amending the systems that will allow Viera and Hrothgar to wear headgear because it was recently confirmed so I find it much easier to believe that this is meant to be a subtle little hint of things to come than an entire regionally affiliated turban attached to a hairstyle. Gotta remember she's an NPC and NPCs are just special sometimes.
