Some garments from different cultures may prove baffling to those in the Western world. Such people would be advised to learn the techniques on how to wrap a turban. These techniques are outlined in the paragraphs that follow.

For starters, grow out your hair to the point where it becomes very long. With this done, you will have the ability to tie it in a bun at the apex of your head, further back from your forehead. To provide your garment with the necessary structure, you have to do this.

What sort of material you plan to use has to be carefully thought out. Starch will be needed before you can use any exceptionally fine material. For the garment to sit right on your head, this fabric will need to be washed to get rid of any excess starch.

You must then fold the garment cloth in an alternating fashion. This is a procedure that will take practice to do perfectly, so do not get frustrated if your initial efforts do not go well. Indeed, you are advised to seek assistance when starting out with this procedure.

Make sure that you wear a complementary head cover known as a patka. Such a cover will hold your bun in place and keep your turban in place too. This is necessary for you to have on prior to wrapping your head with the actual garment.

Put one end of the garment cloth in your mouth to hold it tightly. Then stretch the cloth across the top of the head. You must do this in order to securely fasten the garment to your head, so take care not to neglect this step.

Start wrapping the garment around your head, ensuring that it covers your ear lobes. Continue to wrap it, and try to have it wrapped in triangular fashion at the crown of your head. This will give it the structure that you desire.

To finish the process, pad out the folded fabric across the top of the head and slide this into the garment's sides. Slide the end which has been in the mouth throughout the process into the back of the garment. With that, the garment has been successfully placed on your head.

This should be practiced on a daily basis to ensure that it is done right. As written above, practice is necessary to do this right and novices will inevitably come to nought in their first attempts. Not practicing will also lead you to nought, however, so it is essential to practice regularly.

In summary, learning the techniques on how to wrap a turban is essential if you want to wear such a head garment correctly. If you are not someone who has been brought up in a culture where such a garment is routinely worn, you will need to learn such techniques assiduously. And this is possible if you take heed of the tips outlined in the preceding paragraphs.
