Knowing More About Hair Turbans

By Freda Watts


Hair turbans have been in use for a very long time now. These are pieces of clothes made from untainted cotton, a mixture of it with polyester or silk, and also wool. Their use just as the name suggests is to cover the heads of individuals. This makes them to be used by all the genders regardless of their age or location.

Turbans come in different colors as per the tastes and preferences of the individual or the religion although preference is highly taken in for black, white or blue. It is good to note that their use varies from one religion or community to another depending on their beliefs. The way they are tied, depicts a certain phenomenon in that culture.

In existence, there is the general format employed by all. With the cloths held in both hands at each ends and well aligned to a central position, this individual has to turn one end to the back of the head then back to the front through the temples. This is done with either the part in the left or right hand.

The other part is then rounded up using this similar style as denoted above. While carrying out this process, it is essential for this person to remember to cover the top of the head. When the entire piece is wrapped and both ends remain with a length of less than a foot, the two are taken to the back and tied in a simple knot.

Some of the excess materials remaining are then used to cover any opening which is visible. This is how it is done. At first it may be difficult but once the person follows these instructions and gets used to it, it becomes easier with time. This general way of wrapping is both for males and females, young and the old.

Islams who are deeply religious perceive it as a part of their Islamic life which their founder, Prophet Muhammad led while still on this planet. They believe he used to put it on with other white and black robes. This is their main reason but, some variations in other nations where Islam is not that popular follow their own beliefs.

A good example is the political class in Afghanistan and Columbia. These ones wear it as a show of power and uniqueness even though they are still Muslims. The Indian ladies do so for personality show. This shows that there is no unified reason for those who put them on. As far as they know, this is their in born culture.

Another good example is the Sikh people. These ones have their own views regarding wearing hair turbans. Their beliefs are identification of them as warriors and keeping well their long hair since it is forbidden to have it shaved.
