Tying A Turban Simply And Easily

For Sikhs, their turbans are just the most important. A Sikh man does not wear a turban simply to impress a woman on how pleasant he looks or a woman does it to avoid the filthy dusts from destroying the natural grace of hair. A turban is part of Sikhism code of conduct. Sikhs wear this as a symbol of spirituality, honor, responsibility and high moral values. How this is worn is not really important. But for those who have trouble tying a turban, here is a classic way to do it right.

Start with the basic. Fold it over at four times lengthwise. Make sure that all ends are properly aligned. Once you are finished folding, you can start preparing your hair so you can work with the fabric easily. If your hair is long, tie it up in a bun. Fasten it with a rubber bond near your front head that is directly above your forehead. You may use a cap to keep wisps of hair from appearing.

Tie the cloth around your head. A patka, the piece of fabric found underneath your pagh, should be wrapped all over your head for this to serve as base. Tuck all the loose ends. Tie this in front of your head where the bun is located.

Secure the pagh over your head. Following a diagonal direction, wrap your head using the fabric continually. Wrapping goes on about six times. Slightly adjust the fabric while doing this for this to be become elevated on the opposite side. Start this by having the fabric lowered on one side as the other side is pushed higher.

Fix the ends by cutting if you like. Depending on the size of your head, some paghs especially the new ones need some trimming. Do not be afraid to cut the ends when the fabric is too long. Having the long loose ends left untrimmed only creates discomfort.

Cover the top. You have to pull your pagh's first fold and pull this over right to the top. The sides and the remaining loose ends must be tucked at the back.

Put some accent. Now that you are done with the basic, you can embellish your pagh through putting other colors apart from your base. You can use a scarf if you want. Just make sure you are not overdoing it. Twist the scarf or scarves through the base wrap for these to tighten and be secured.

These six simple steps are intended for both men and women. Style variation is not uncommon to any aspects of living. And just because you commit yourself to the strict rules of your faction does not mean you cannot establish your own way of tying for you to look better. No one gets incarcerated for being an experimentalist.

Tying a turban deals largely with one's personality. And as long as you never go beyond what is required, sacrificing the moral dignity of the church, you are for sure on the safe side. What really seems to matter is that you get yourself satisfied as much as do with your supreme Guru.
