Once this is complete, both ends are tied leaving the triangle tip free.

The headband, which is very popular among musicians, sportsmen and women, is a simple gathering of the entire hair into a single ponytail. Using the scarf, tie the forehead from the hairline, pass the cloth round the head and tuck it in from the top of the head. At the end, it should form a bow like shape. The scarf strictly passes under the ponytail and the end knot can be under it.

Head wraps require large scarves that are square with a diagonal fold to form a triangle. The triangular scarf broad side covers the whole nape of the neck and a knot to the forehead.

It is tied from the middle forehead whilst hanging one side low and twisting the other to give it a nice twist. The final knot lies at the base of the neck or above either ear with the hems tucked on the upper side to form a crown.
