With all due respect, you seem to have given me a list of equipment types. You are the boss, of course, but I suggest that you pick equipment slots based on the body part, not armor/equipment type.
Here’s what you’ve given me, but in table form and with some descriptive bits.
Currently Planned
Slot Quantity Description Hair 1 Feature that covers the top of your head Hairband ? if hair Accessory that attaches to your hair Hairclip ? if hair Accessory that attaches to your hair Crown/Coronet/Tiara 1 Jewelry worn on the top of your head Hat 1 Clothing that covers the top of your head or headgear Helmet 1 Armor that covers the top of your head Mask 1 Clothing that covers your face Visor 1 Armor that covers your face Eyebrows 2?

I’ll copy those to the first post for now, because it’s based on what you wrote.
You’ll notice that I’ve added boldface to the part of the body covered, eg: thighs versus fingers versus wrist etc. I also highlighted the category of equipment, eg: clothing versus armor versus jewelry. My suggestion is that these bolded items (the body parts being covered) make a better list of equipment slots.
This is the table I propose:
Proposed Primary Slots

Where I wrote a plus in the quantity, that’s because I imagine some equipment that fits that slot will add another slot of the same type. For example, equipping a shirt to the torso-clothing slot might grant you an additional torso-clothing slot, because you can put another layer of clothing on top of a shirt. As a counterexample, equipping a cape in the torso-clothing slot would not create another torso-clothing slot, because you do not put another layer of clothing on top of a cape.
I also imagine some equipment will grant you a new slot of a different type. For example, equipping a dress shirt may unlock two secondary equipment slots for cufflinks (one on each arm). A different dress shirt, with a different design, may unlock four slots for cufflinks (two on each arm). It would be up to whoever implements the dress shirt to decide whether and how many cufflink slots are unlocked; that is why I call these kind of slots “secondary slots”. I think that’s what @Dante-Broggi was getting at with the shirt unlocking the chest (you cannot wear platemail, for example, unless you are wearing something underneath like a gambeson or arming doublet). See this table for more examples.
