Sikh Turban Uses And Styles
The many different styles and techniques for tying a Sikh turban have many different cultural and practical purposes. Someone may choose one style for one activity and change it for another. The reasons for which one to wear depends on a few factors such as culture, age, or gender, and can vary from one person to the next. Each of these turbans will have a similar appearance, but slightly different.
For many styles there is a metal piece that goes on the head, and is found either under or above the fabric. These pieces were traditionally worn to protect the head during battle from weapons. They can provide a traditional decoration for some cultures.
Most of the turbans that are worn by Sikh's are made using two long lengths of cloth. Each of these can be about six meters in length and vary in colors and patterns. The first cloth is tied around the head to form the base and ensure that the hair is completely covered, and the second one wraps around this one.
One of the most common turbans you will see is made by using a cloth which has been cut in half and sewn together lengthwise to create a cloth which is twice as wide and only about three meters long. This cloth can then be tied using fewer wraps and creates an almost flat top with thick sides and forms the traditional point at the front center. This is the style which is worn by most men.
For the turbans worn by the Nihang Sikhs, known as worrier turbans, they are slightly rounder in shape. These ones wear the decorative metal piece on the outside of the cloth. They also form a peak at the front with the decorative piece at the front center.
There is a more casual style that can be worn during sporting events of just around the house. This style does not require a lot of effort and more that one cloth as it is only meant to cover the hair during down time. It is made by taking a simple piece of cloth and wrapping it around hair, which has been placed securely on top of the head, until the hair is covered completely. This style is very simple to do and is commonly used for children.
Women have created several different styles for themselves which are similar to those worn by men but more feminine. They still form the peak at the front which is a traditional part of the turban. They do however form a much rounder shape and use less cloth than most male styles require.
The style of the Sikh turban worn by an individual has little to do with religion and more to do with fashion and comfort. They can change from day to day depending on what the wearer wishes to do that day. There are also many different colors which are also chosen depending on the person who will be wearing it.
