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.
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.
Follow these simple steps on how to turban once you are ready to wear it. Make sure your shirt is already on so you will not have to put anything else over your head. The first thing is to make sure you have a tail end at the back. To do this, place the material from back to front on the top of the head, with a little tail hanging at the nape of the neck till just above the middle of the back.
Hold the left hand firmly in place on top of the head and wind the rest of the fabric around from left to right in a circular motion around the head. Be careful not to make it too tight but also not so lose that it will fall off. Some people like to wear a cap underneath to hide the strands of hair.
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.
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.
