Quick Guide On 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 most popular and common colors are black and white. Muslim men usually wear their turbans with a kurtha, which is the long dress worn by men of this faith. In modern culture, some Western men are now opting to wear a turban with jeans and shirt to a wedding or smart casual occasion.

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.

Hold the left hand firmly in place on top of the head and wind the rest of the fabric around from left to right in a circular motion around the head. Be careful not to make it too tight but also not so lose that it will fall off. Some people like to wear a cap underneath to hide the strands of hair.

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.

The turban can be a neat and attractive piece of head dress for a man at any occasion. With the ever growing globalized world we live in, cultural trends are emerging across borders and many modern and Western people are now trying out turbans. With these easy to follow steps for how to turban, anyone can do it.
