Simple Steps Of Tying A Turban

By Ines Brennan


In Sikhism, turbans are the most important. Sikh men do not simply wear a turban to impress women with how adorable they look or women do this to avoid dusts and dirt from destroying their beautiful hair. A turban is a huge part in the code of conduct of Sikhism. For Sikhs, this is a sign of high moral values, spirituality, honor and responsibility. How this is worn is never really important. But for individuals who have a difficult time tying a turban, here is an easy way to do it.

Get down with the basic. For four times, fold the fabric lengthwise. Be sure all ends are aligned properly. Once you are done folding, begin preparing your hair in order to work easily with the fabric. Tie your hair up in a bun especially when it is long. Draw this close to your front head tying it with a rubber bond above your forehead. Use a cap if you want to hide the wisps of hair.

Tie the piece of fabric around your head. Underneath the pagh is piece of cloth call a patka. This has to be wrapped around your head as your base. Tuck each loose end and tie it where the bun is at.

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.

Add some accent. By now, you are finished with the basic, embellish it by putting some other colors aside from the base. You may use some scarves if you want. Make sure you never overdo this. Twist the scarves through your base wrap so these can be secured and tightened further.

These simple steps are for men and women alike. Style variations are not uncommon to all aspects of living. Just because you are committed to keeping the stringent rules of your religion does not mean establishing your own method of tying is a crime. No one gets imprisoned for being a bit of an experimentalist.

Tying a turban sometimes has to with one's personality. Provided that you never disregard the norm of your religion, sacrificing the virtue and morals of Sikhism, you are surely on the safe side. What seems to matter here is that you do not only satisfy your supreme Guru but also yourself.
