Fold the scarf in half along its entire length, bring the ends behind your neck and overlap them. Next, still holding the ends of the scarf in your hands, lift them to the forehead and twist them several times.After this, the ends of the scarf are again wound behind the back of the head, crossed and again raised to the forehead. The last movement is to cross the ends of the scarf at the forehead and tuck them inward. The turban is ready!

From stole

Quite often, instead of a scarf or shawl, fashionistas use a wide stole for a turban. Thanks to its large size, the turban turns out taller and more voluminous. Let's consider one of the ways to twist a stole into a turban. We follow the instructions:

1. tie your hair into a bun at the back of your head using an elastic band;

4. Pull the ends of the stole forward so that they cover the ears;

From a scarf/handkerchief

You can make a turban headband from a small scarf or shawl. Roll the scarf along its entire length several times. Pass it under your hair and lift the ends towards your forehead.

From two scarves

The two-color method involves having two scarves or stoles of the same size in different shades. Tie the stoles on your head with a small knot and take it to the back of your head.

Tie the remaining small ends of the stole into a knot and hide under the fabric.
