By Cathy Mercer


Wearing of turbans among women is fast becoming popular as people want to bring that ethnic and eccentric look. Also such head gears can help hide bad hair fashionably. That is why many ladies want to know how to tie a turban for women in order to look differently.

The first method is the Riveter wrap. Here one takes a large square scarf, folds it diagonally then places the straight long edge of cloth at the back of head. Then the ends of the material are tied at the front of head lightly. The hanging piece of cloth from behind is then taken to the front and tucked under the knot. This way, hair is gathered inside the scarf. One then tightens the knot.

Another simple way of tying this head gear is the forehead wrap. One can have her hair pushed backwards or in a ponytail. A square clothing folded diagonally to form an elongated triangle is then placed along the forehead using its straight edge. With the rest of scarf pointing towards the neck, a person will tie the ends of clothing in a tough knot at the back.

A common wrap is the forehead band. One can do this in several ways. First is by gathering hair into a low pony and tying the material around the base of ponytail in a single tie. The second way is by folding a scarf to form a band at tying it like a bow around the head.

There is also the crown style where one uses a rectangular material or a square scarf folded diagonally. The folded edge of clothing is placed along the forehead with one side of fabric longer on the side than the other. The sides are then pulled backwards and twisted one over the other forming a thick band which is spiraled around the head like a crown. On finishing, the twisted end is tied with the first end at the nape of neck.

The African gele is yet another style. This wrap is usually made with some special cloth but the normal scarf can work. With the material being folded to a width of about six inches, a person wraps it over the head from the back and brings the ends to the front. One end is longer than the other and is flipped over the other twice forming a bow at the front of the head.

Rosette wrap is the final way of tying the gear. This one uses rectangular scarf folded diagonally with the long edge lined on the forehead. Both the ends of the cloth are then taken to one side of the head and then tied into a strong knot. The ends will hang and one takes one end, twists and spirals it around the knot. The same is also done to the other end thus forming a rosette. Tips of material are then tucked or held with a pin.

Therefore for people who were wondering on how to tie a turban for women there are many ways to do so as seen above. An individual can use brightly colored or patterned scarves to rock this look. To get write the above style, one needs practice.
