The answer

The interpretation of the hadith "Their heads are like the humps of swaying Bactrian camels" means that women enlarge their heads with head coverings (khumur) and turbans, or by adding hair extensions, so they resemble the swaying humps of camels in their height. It was also said that "the swaying ones" are those who sway towards men and do not lower their gaze, or that they comb their hair in a way that resembles the humps of Bactrian camels in its height, gathering it on top of the head and leaning it to one side.
