Simple Steps Of Tying A Turban

By Ines Brennan


For Sikhs, their turbans are just the most important. A Sikh man does not wear a turban simply to impress a woman on how pleasant he looks or a woman does it to avoid the filthy dusts from destroying the natural grace of hair. A turban is part of Sikhism code of conduct. Sikhs wear this as a symbol of spirituality, honor, responsibility and high moral values. How this is worn is not really important. But for those who have trouble tying a turban, here is a classic way to do it right.

Start with the basic. Fold it over at four times lengthwise. Make sure that all ends are properly aligned. Once you are finished folding, you can start preparing your hair so you can work with the fabric easily. If your hair is long, tie it up in a bun. Fasten it with a rubber bond near your front head that is directly above your forehead. You may use a cap to keep wisps of hair from appearing.

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 all ends by trimming them if you want. Depending on your head's size, some turbans especially new ones need to be cut. Never be afraid to trim the ends if the cloth is still long. Having the loose ends left uncut will only create discomfort.

Cover the top. Right below, you ought to pull the first fold of the cloth and pull it over to the top. You need to tuck each side as well as the remaining loose end of the fabric at the back.

Put some accent. Now that you are done with the basic, you can embellish your pagh through putting other colors apart from your base. You can use a scarf if you want. Just make sure you are not overdoing it. Twist the scarf or scarves through the base wrap for these to tighten and be secured.

These six simple steps are intended for both men and women. Style variation is not uncommon to any aspects of living. And just because you commit yourself to the strict rules of your faction does not mean you cannot establish your own way of tying for you to look better. No one gets incarcerated for being 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.
