In Quran translations I’ve read - it does not translate as a “head veil”. It just translates as a piece of clothing that is to be drawn across their bosoms - so more like as long as your chest figure is covered up. The latter part of that second verse refers more to “shaking thy booty” aka booty dancing/vulgar dancing, etc I guess. And ornaments is a vague phrase. Note how Allah doesn’t specify certain body parts, like face/hair etc.

Since the Quran is revealed in Arabic language, we must understand, its meanings by reference to the usage and convention of language. Let us turn to the specific verses, “And that, they draw their head-veils(or head-covering) (arabic word khumur-ihinna, used here) on their bosoms”.
The word used in the context is “khumur” in Arabic which has been translated as veil or Scarves, the latter is more Precise , for it is the plural of khimar, which has been defined as women’s “head covering” a piece of cloth with which a woman covers her head. Root meaning is to cover and Khimar , therefor is the cover or the veil but it has become synonymous with veil with which a woman covers her head. Plural of Khimar is khumur, which is used in Verse “Au- Nur”. Acording to Arabic languge, covering of Head is the most important function of khimar, no scholar in past has ever disputed the fact that woman are commanded by ALLAH to cover their head.
