Learning How To Tie A Turban For Women

By Freda Watts


It is always a good idea to learn how to tie a turban for women especially if you are fond of wearing them at events. This garment has been worn for decades especially by the Muslim community from the days of Prophet Mohamed. However, today many people also wear them as a fashion symbol and knowing the technique of wrapping it around your head can be an added advantage.

The first thing that you have to buy is a turban cap if you plan to use the garment for long. This is because it allows you to hide your hair completely every single time it is used. However, it is not a must that you have it. The main thing that you need is the long piece of cloth, choose the measurements according to what is convenient for your purpose. The standard size is about twenty inches by fifteen yards. Light cotton is the fabric used in most cases. Have the cloth placed on the head in such a way that you still have about eight inches to spare at the back. This makes a simple tail in almost all designs.

Always use your left hand when it comes to anchoring the garment by pressing it against the head. This allows you to flexibly move the right hand around. You will have to make sure that the garment is secured tightly by the left hand before you start wrapping it.

Form a horizontal circle around the head with the garment, using the right hand. Ensure that the cloth is tightly taken around the head. It should fit exactly so as not to fall down once you are done.

Always ensure that the low point of the circle is farther every time. The initial circle that you make should be having the low point situated at the back of the head. This way your left hand can easily hold down the cloth in the area nearest to the low point.

After making the circle several times start to tilt it to approach the vertical. This is made possible by the mass that accumulated as you made the horizontal circles and now act as an anchor. When you just have about two feet of the cloth left start wrapping it horizontally on the head. This is what will hold things together.

Tuck in the part that remains into the circles that you had formed previously to be able to conclude the wrapping. At this point you will most likely have the piece of cloth hanging a little bit below the forehead. To make it more comfortable for you tilt the turban until it has cleared the forehead. This is simpler than it sounds.

You can be able to get an additional effect of a colored band around your head by having a cloth with a different color attached to the garment. The classiest ones are always white with an additional golden color, however, you are free to choose any combination that suits you. Once you get to know this simple technique of how to tie a turban for women then you can try out the other ones. There are very many ways to tie this garment but they will be much easier to learn once you know this easy one.
