What goes around the head at Diamond Head (3)

I believe the answer is:

lei

(Other definitions for lei that I've seen before include "Garland of flowers in Hawaii" , "change in E. Europe" , "Polynesian garland of flowers" , "colourful flower arrangement" , "Garland of flowers, may accompany 5 Down" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
