Turbans have been in existence for eons. Although they were mostly used for religious purposes they are now used as fashion accessories too. They can also be used by women who have a hair loss problem. Many women all over the world use the garment which makes lessons in wrapping an orange turban necessary.

The first thing before you even go out to look for the right clothing is to consider what it will be used for. The different needs need different clothing and also wrapping designs. A woman who uses the garment in her dances will need different clothing from the other one who uses it to cover her balding head. You also have to be patient, being an expert in folding head garments in the different ways that exist is not so simple, you will have to practice a lot.

First things first, you have to go out and look for the piece of cloth you desire. For the dancer, a cloth like silk will be a good choice because of its aesthetic value. The same would however not fit the bald woman as it is very slippery and will need to be adjusted for the whole time. Crisp cotton will be more suitable for the bald woman due the good grip it has.

Depending on the clothing that you have bought, minor adjustments may need to be done on the clothing. If you bought silk clothing and want it to be grip-able you will have to line it with a more gripping cloth like chiffon. If the clothing has a distinct inside and outside then double construction may be necessary. If the clothing is not grip-able and naturally stretchy it will need hemming or inner linings.

The next step is sewing, if you are using one piece of clothing then you can do this part by yourself. Take the four edges of the cloth and fold them inwardly then sew them. This increases the grip of the article and is not a mandatory step. Clothing that is very grip-able and stretches naturally does not need any kind of adjustment to it. Also trim the clothing until it is 37 inches squared.

The next thing to do after this is to fold the garment on your head. Fold the square piece diagonally and place the central piece of the clothing on the nape of your neck. Tie together the two ends that are over your ear and then tuck in the top corner which is now over your forehead. You will have a turban.

There are some measures you can take if you want to enhance the grip ability of clothing. For one you can use bobby pins to hold the garment together. This will not only make the cloth more griping but will also give you the confidence that the cloth will not fall apart. You can also decorate the garment with as much accent scarves as you like. Folding them through the base wrap will make the article tighter.

Now you do not have to compromise wearing the beautiful headgear just because you do not know how to go about it. The knowledge and technicality of wrapping an orange turban is already with you. Try to wear your own folded garment today.
