How To Tie A Turban Headband

Turban headbands are used to cover the head. They are worn because of religious and cultural reasons. They have also become fashionable in recent times. Though their origin is not very clear, they have been around for hundreds of years. They are widely associated with Muslims and adherents of the Sikh faith. In the western world these head wraps are used as a fashion statement.

Both females and males can wear this head wrap. It can be worn to match with an outfit and protect the hair as well. It can be difficult to tie this accessory but once you get the hang of it, you do not have to do it again.

The first thing you need when making a head wrap is a length of fabric. You also need a ruler and a cutter. You should identify a cloth that would look great on your head. It should be long enough to cover your head a few times. Different designs require different lengths. Normally, it should be at least 1 foot wide and 3 feet in length. A pair of scissors comes in handy when cutting a piece of cloth to the right measurements.

The next step is to find a place to roll it inward along the length. A flat surface should be used for this purpose. After this process, you can begin tying one end of the fabric round your head. This should be done diagonally. One end should remain held in place using your other hand. Ensure that there are no creases as you flatten the fabric on your head. Remember to twist your hair into a bun so that it is protected by the fabric.

Flatten the piece of cloth until you are done with the first wrap. To make a ridge or bump around the forehead the fabric needs to be twisted and moved around this area. The steps should be repeated many times ensuring that the fabric moves all over the head until it runs out.

The remaining pieces should then be tucked underneath the top part of the turban. The accessory should rest on your head tightly and securely. You can use bobby pins to position it in place so that it does not come off.

To get the best appearance, ensure that your turban colors match the rest of your outfit. This will give you a fashionable look that will leave heads turning. You can also add some decorations while tying the head wrap.
