Easy Tutorial Describing How To Turban

By Kate McMahon


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.

If one were to watch a frequent wearer of turbans wrap it around his head it would seem very quick and easy. This is because with frequent use it becomes quite natural. First timers may find it more complicated. Internet searches and advice from other people can introduce you to new ways of doing it and several different variations. The basic pattern remains more or less the same.

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.

Once you are ready to start the process, follow these easy steps on how to turban. Firstly, you should be fully dressed so that you will not have to put anything over your head once the turban is on. The starting point is the tail so place one end of the garment over the head with the end piece hanging down the back till the mid section of the back.

Place the left hand on the head to hold the rest of it in place as you wind it around the head from left to right. Continue with the circular pattern of winding. Make sure it is loose enough to allow movement of the head with ease yet it should not be so loose as to fall off. It is optional to wear a cap underneath to keep the hair securely in place.

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.
