I am currently riding through Iran and initially was just wrapping a scarf round my head once I took the helmet off but got stared at a lot and annoyed with it falling off and finally came up with this solution.
Bought a fitted scarf (available in any scarf shop - and there's lots) that you kind of pull over your head like a hood as well as a long thin black coat to my ankles similar to what Iranian woman wear. Total cost was 28 dollars (but I'm sure you could do it for less if you shopped about)
You can wear the scarf easily under your helmet and just put the coat on once you step of the bike. Or even wear the coat under your leathers.
At times I have just worn the hood and my jeans and a jumper and not had any hassle (ie bike maintenance in hotel courtyard) but different parts of Iran have different levels of strictness.
