The Perfect Way To Carry Out Turban Tying

By Freda Watts


Being a part of attire affiliated strongly to Hindu religious creed and heritage, turban tying has special importance among Hindu community. It is usually worn mostly by male Hindus. The particular way this piece of cloth is worn is an indication of a sect of Hinduism followed by these people. There are two popular ways to knot the turban: first method involves placing the cloth down the back of head as hanging while one end being hand-pressed at forehead and then winding the hanging cloth around the head to cover the top and sides of the head. When the winding cover the head completely, the remaining cloth at the back of head is inserted in the loop.

Wearing the adornment on short hair is easy; however, for those who have long hair combing up is the first thing to do. Watch out for any major tangles or knots in your long hair. Instead of using the harsh teeth of comb, use your fingers gently. Although long hair is not a must to get the final tie up, a perfectly combed hair helps to tie the knot and stick it firmly to the head.

A kid would want a cloth that is approximately 3 meters by 50 centimeters, however for any adult individual, this specific cloth is estimated to 6m by means of 100 cm. Color is not that significant because this is determined by the taste that an individual has. Some starch is administered to make the fabric supple. Before the actual wrapping, a light head covering may be used.

An individual might not exactly have anyone to help them and so, they might use a reflector and begin by holding one end of material by the teeth. The clutch would ensure that it is prevented from falling away during the entire manipulation.

Wrap the cloth around head in an anticlockwise direction. As you wind each loop, check in the mirror ensuring the adornment gets a round shape. If you do not get the right shape, poor finishing will result as you continue further wraps over it.

You should proceed doing a number of windings until this cloth fall short of a complete wrap. At this point, tuck cloth in the back of windings. Then squeeze this cloth to achieve the shape but do not make the grip feel too firm on the head.

Now spread the first end, you were holding with teeth, over the top of bind-up to cover your head gently. It is mounted diagonally on the head so that the windings remain on the frontal head and on the lower part of back head.

Children can follow the same procedure. Although adults can do the whole process without a helper, a minor trying it alone will not hold the cloth throughout the entire time. While the child uses the one end to wind it around his head, allow another child to hold the other end of the fabric. Such teamwork trains children on turban tying and develops reverence for this cultural tradition.
