How to properly tie a turban on your head

Girl with a turban on her headA turban is not just an accessory. It has origins, traditions and characteristics, so it should be worn correctly. First of all, you need to understand in what cases this will be relevant:

  • in evening dress;
  • as a national symbol;
  • if faith requires it;
  • instead of a hat in cool weather;
  • as sun protection in summer;
  • like an oriental note in the image.

Turban worn on the head, completely covering the hair underneath. This creates a deeper unity between the facial features and the colorful fabric on the head. But sometimes variations of loose bangs or curls from under a turban are also acceptable. By the way, The difference between a turban and a turban is in volume – a turban can be huge, made of fabric from 6 to 20 meters! But the turban is more compact, laconic and consists of fabric up to 10 meters.

Ways to tie a turban

The material or scarf for the future turban can be of different textures. In warm weather, let it be a flowing, light fabric, and in winter, you can take a thicker scarf. Thanks to its tight fit to the head, the turban provides good warmth. There are more than a hundred options for tying scarves, but it is better to learn this skill using simple, basic methods.

1 way tying requires a long scarf of any color:

  • hair needs to be gathered into a bun and secured with an elastic band;
  • lower your head down and cover it with a scarf;
  • The back of the head should be covered, and the edges of the scarf should be left hanging in front;
  • The 2 ends of the scarf need to be crossed at forehead level, and then wrapped around a bun of hair;
  • You need to intertwine the ends of the bun until they become short and can be hidden under the twists.

Method 2 tying is designed to leave hair open:

  • you need to let your hair down, style it;
  • without lowering your head, pass the scarf under your hair without covering it;
  • cross the ends of the scarf on your forehead and wrap it around your head until it becomes convenient to hide the ends in layers of fabric;
  • the central part, where the first knot of fabric is formed, can be decorated with a brooch.

3 way will make the turban more interesting, because there will be plaits:

  • It is better to collect the hair in a bun and secure it firmly;
  • Unlike the previous options, here you need to cover your head with a scarf and bring the ends under the back of your head;
  • overlap the edges of the scarf under the back of the head and twist them into strands;
  • Wrap your head with strands until the ends are conveniently hidden in layers.

When choosing scarves, you need to follow the analogy in the pattern, but the colors may differ. In this case, you get a bright, voluminous version:

  • the ends of two scarves must be tightly tied together;
  • the place of the knot should remain behind the head, on the back of the head;
  • We bring the free edges to the forehead, cross them, and place them behind the head;
  • we wrap the head for a long time, because there is twice as much fabric;
  • when the ends become short, hide them in layers of fabric.

When performing any technique, it is better not to completely cover the ears, but only cover their upper part. A bunch of collected hair can be safely moved almost to the forehead - a voluminous turban will become even more interesting.

Some tips

You don’t need to think that shaping a turban is an entire art. Take any scarf or stole at home and try it out. The second time around you are guaranteed to get the perfect headdress. For proper use of this accessory, here are a few tips:

  • silk scarves are difficult to fix, so it’s better to stick to other materials;
  • if it seems that the turban is an accent in itself, then this is incorrect. You can easily complement the turban with a massive brooch, and put large earrings on your ears;
  • with the help of colored scarves a more interesting image is created;
  • a turban will perfectly hide lack of styling or unclean hair;
  • Don’t ignore makeup because the turban draws attention to your face.

Even if this headdress seems too extravagant, just try to create it at home one day. Perhaps this will be exactly the note that the image was so missing.
