Overheads is the term that describes protection prayers and prayers that display over a character's head when in use. Overhead prayers are commonly used in a plethora of PvM and PvP-related activities. More so, the "Protect from" prayers are very versatile, especially in bossing and quests, whereas Retribution and Smite are mainly relegated to PvP usage with the latter being popular in player-killing.
Only one of these prayers may be active at a time. Switching to another overhead prayer will cause the active overhead to be turned off.
