By Freda Watts


If you are among the people who want to know how to tie a turban for women then it is most likely something important. You might want to wear it to an occasion. It is a garment that has been worn for many years especially by Muslims who follow the footsteps of Prophet Mohammed. In the fashion industry it is a universal symbol recognized by many. Therefore knowing the technique of how to wrap it is always a step forward for anybody.

The first thing that you have to buy is a turban cap if you plan to use the garment for long. This is because it allows you to hide your hair completely every single time it is used. However, it is not a must that you have it. The main thing that you need is the long piece of cloth, choose the measurements according to what is convenient for your purpose. The standard size is about twenty inches by fifteen yards. Light cotton is the fabric used in most cases. Have the cloth placed on the head in such a way that you still have about eight inches to spare at the back. This makes a simple tail in almost all designs.

Using your left hand hold the cloth in place to anchor it against the head. This will make it easier to maneuver with the right hand as you wrap the cloth. This means that it has to be held firmly in place with your left hand.

The right hand is what should make circles that are horizontal while revolving around the head. Do this carefully and it is recommended that you leave no space between the cloth and your head. The reason for this is to avoid the garment being loose when you finish wrapping it.

The low point should always be farthest away in the circle. In the first circle that you make the positioning of the low point should be just above your neck. This is crucial since it allows you to have it secured by the left hand as you do the wrapping.

After making the circle several times start to tilt it to approach the vertical. This is made possible by the mass that accumulated as you made the horizontal circles and now act as an anchor. When you just have about two feet of the cloth left start wrapping it horizontally on the head. This is what will hold things together.

Once you are done wrapping tuck in the leftover parts into the wraps that are there. Even though the turban might be uncomfortable since it is low on your forehead it can be corrected. Tilt the entire mass until it clears off.

To add some taste to this headgear you can form a colored band. This is not as difficult as it might seem since you only have to add a colored cloth to the garment. The white and gold combination is a classy one but you can also use your own colors. How to tie a turban for women is a simple thing to learn and the best part is there are many other techniques that you can know after this one.
