Quick Guide On How To Turban

By Kate McMahon


Most people will identify turbans as the traditional Islamic head gear mainly worn by men in the Middle East. Strangely enough other cultures are now adopting this fashion item as a trendy accessory at parties and casual or formal gatherings. Here is a quick easy guide on how to turban for anyone who is brave enough to try it out.

Those who wear it on a daily basis will be most accustomed to the procedure. It will be second nature and they can do it without even thinking about it. For newcomers, it may seem a little tricky. An Internet search will reveal different styles and different ways of tying it, but they are more or less the same.

Turbans can be found in local stores that sell Eastern clothing and head gears. Look in the section for men as it is a garment that is only worn by males. Shop assistants will be able to provide further guidance regarding what fabric and color to choose. Cotton is always best.

They most often come in crisp white or black, but some stores may stock other colors as well. They are traditionally worn by Muslim men with a long Islamic dress called kurtha, also made of cool cotton. There is no reason why someone should not be able to experiment and try out a turban with a pair of jeans and a smart shirt for instance. It may look exotic but trendy at the same time.

Once you are ready to start the process, follow these easy steps on how to turban. Firstly, you should be fully dressed so that you will not have to put anything over your head once the turban is on. The starting point is the tail so place one end of the garment over the head with the end piece hanging down the back till the mid section of the back.

Place one hand, preferably the left on top of the head to hold it in place and with the other hand hold the longer part of the garment and begin to wrap it around the head from the left to the right. Wrap it tight enough to keep it in place but make sure it is not so tight as to cause pain. You may also want to wear a cap under the head gear so the hair does not come astray.

Keep on turning the fabric around and around slightly twisting it each time to give it some style. Continue until you get to the end of the strip and tuck the end piece under a fold or pin it in place. Slowly move the head in all directions to be sure that it is comfortable and unlikely to fall off.

With new emerging fashion trends and a global eye on the Eastern world, turbans are surprisingly becoming more popular. It no longer looks strange to see someone donning a turban at a wedding or office party. If you are a first time user, it is also possible to get a professional to wrap the garment for you for the first time. Thereafter it should be easier to do on your own. However, if you follow these guidelines on how to turban you can not go wrong.
