A turban is a headdress with unique properties. It not only helps to hide the presence of styling, but also adds a sophisticated touch to the image.
This is such an unusual headdress that it is worth talking about it in detail.
Where did the turban come to us from?
The turban was originally an exclusively male headdress in Muslim countries, as well as in India.
But women also began to use it quite a long time ago. Until now, we are talking about the turban and turban as oriental headdresses with a fabulous flavor.
What are turbans made from?
Preference is given to natural or mixed fabrics; for winter, a fur turban is chosen.
Materials for the turban (turban):
- knitted fabric of various thicknesses;
- silk, chiffon;
- velvet, panvelvet;
- viscose;
- short pile fur.
What is a turban?
A traditional turban is from four to twenty meters of fabric, wrapped in a special way around the head.
As a rule, a hat, skullcap or another scarf is worn under the turban so that it does not slip and holds tightly.
The modern turban differs from the ethnic one in the length of the material, volume, patterns; Europeans call it a turban.

Choosing a model based on face type
Let us dwell on the classification of styles recommended for a certain type of face:

- Those with a long face should pay attention to low models with horizontal seams and folds. Abundant turban decor is also for you.
- Chubby girls will suit tall, raised styles.
- We soften the features of a square face with light folds and draperies. The decor is minimal.
- A triangular face - a heart shape - will be favorably emphasized by a massive turban with all sorts of decorative additions.
