The turban is a traditional Islamic garment worn by men in the Middle East and is commonly a cultural or religious adornment. In modern times however, it is fast becoming a fashion item and more and more people in other countries and other cultures are curious to try it out as an accessory for a special occasion. This easy tutorial on how to turban is designed to help the first time user.
The most experienced in the art of tying this garment would be those who wear it on a daily basis. If you do a search on the Internet or ask different people how to do it, you may get slightly different answers. This is because there is not only one standard way of doing it. The pattern is mostly the same but different styles may come with sight variations.
The turban can be purchased in shops that sell Eastern wear. They are usually only used for men, so look in the relevant department. Perhaps consult with the sales staff about which fabric and colors are most recommended. Cotton is usually the best material because it is light and cool.
The colors usually come in white or black. Match the item with a black or white suit or kurtha, which is a long Islamic garment worn by men. Some may even want to be a bit more daring and don a turban with a pair of jeans and a shirt for an ethnic exotic look at a party or smart casual function.
These easy guides on how to turban will assist with putting the garment on once you are ready. The first thing is to get dressed completely, leave the turban for last because once it is on, nothing else will fit over the head. The tail is the always first to be put in place so put the garment over the head with a little piece hanging at the back till the middle of the spine.
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.
Continue to wind the longer end around the head in a circular movement, and slightly twist it as you do this to create a style of the fabric overlapping. When the end of the material is reached, the loose piece can be tucked into one of the other folds to neaten it. A pin could also be used discreetly to hold it in place. Lastly move the head around to be sure it is secure and has no chance of falling off.
Many people are more and more interested in how to turban these days with it becoming a more popular form of head dress. Perhaps for a first time user, one could even ask a professional dressmaker or hairdresser to assist and once you have the hang of it you will be able to do it on your own. These useful tips should help someone who wants to know how to turban and can be supplemented with a video tutorial.
