The Arabic faith comprises of many important aspects and the turban is one of the many aspects. An Arabic turban is compulsory for all those who have already passed through the baptism process. It usually symbolizes honor, respect to one self, courage and being spiritual.
The headgear can be worn using many different methods. The aforementioned notwithstanding, one method that stands out from the rest is the one in which the wrapping is done around the head at least seven times. It may appear a bit higher in the central part and flatter on its side. The following are the steps that should be followed when tying a turban.
First and foremost, you should have a 5 meter piece of fabric which you may purchase from a craft, textile or online stores. To remove the extra starch that it might have, you will need to wash it well. Along its length, fold the fabric into half up to four times. You can get some help in order to do this well.
Take the fabric and line it up, ensuring that the edges are flush. Carefully roll up the fabric with both hands. Take your hair, gather it in front and twist it continuously to come up with a long rope.
In the step that come afterwards, take the twisted rope of hair and position it on your head;s top. Tie the hair well using a piece of square cloth like a bandana. Ensure the tie is at the back and in case there is any excess cloth remaining after the tie, hold it and tie it to the front. Commonly called pakta, this cloth is worn beneath the turban.
With the help of your teeth, grasp the rolled up turban end. Roll it slowly to the back of the head and around the ear. This needs to be between 2 to 3 inches above the right ear;s side. After the first wrap, you should ensure that the left ear is not fully covered.
Next, the headgear should be wrapped again around the head for a second time. With the previous wrap higher on the left side and lower on the right side. Ensure the next wrap is the exact opposite.
For five more times, the headgear should go round the head. This should be higher to the left and lower on the right side. Trimming any extra material with scissors is the next step. This is to enable proper tucking of the turban at the back of the head.
The last step is taking out some inches out of the initial wrap. Spread the material over your head after carefully unfolding it. Ensure the head is completely covered by holding the material's sides and tucking it into the part of the headgear that goes round the head. Any material that is left out in excess should be tucked behind. You will have the best Arabic turban if you apply these simple steps.
