How To Tie A Fashion Turban

By Claudine MacDonald


Getting to know how to tie a fashion turban for various occasions can be a tricky affair especially for beginners. Over the years, headgear has become very popular to men and women and getting it right the first time is a unique way of expressing oneself in any occasion. Here are some of the easiest and popular designs available.

The forehead wrap is the easiest style to make and it also adds glamor. It is done by making the hair into a low ponytail and gathering it at the back of the neck. A square scarf is then folded diagonally in half so as to come up with a scarf placed with the straight edge at middle of forehead. The other ends point towards back to the nape of the neck. Once this is complete, both ends are tied leaving the triangle tip free.

Similar to the forehead wrap is the fashionable headband popular with sports people and musicians. To come up with a unique design, the scarf is wrapped at the base of the nape under the ponytail and the ends terminate on the forehead forming a bow like crown. With a single knot on the forehead, the design is completed. The knot does not necessarily have to be on the forehead but slightly on the side.

The head wrap requires large square scarf to be folded diagonally so as to form a large triangle. Tie the scarf nape of the neck and form a stylish knot on the forehead covering the ears and the side hair. This ensures that the hair gathers on top of the head like an Afro bundle.

The tie and dye scarf style has its origin in West Africa and requires a scarf that is approximately six inches. When tying it the wrap on the right hand side is made longer than the one on the left by about one and half times. The longer side drops to the shoulders in women, and ideally covers the burst cleavage.

Custom made headgear uses triangular scarf folded diagonally so that the edges cover the forehead and or the nape and then terminated either at the nape of the neck or the forehead where the loose end is tied under the knot. This covers the whole hair and is ideal for church attendance or religious gatherings. The triangle scarf is secured into place with a pin thus saving time.

The crown turban has a traditional look which is done by folding the scarf diagonally; this is easy with rectangle scarves. To get a good finish, place the edges in the middle forehead and hang one side low bringing both to the back of the neck while twisting. Once completed, pull the knots tight at base of the neck to form a thick finish resulting into a crown covering the upper forehead and nape.

There is also the trendy mannish Sikh headgear which is popular with urban dwellers. It exposes little or no ponytail. It is a simple scarf wrapped on the hair from the lower back neck, passing above the ears and terminating on the forehead forming an obverted V shape where the loose ends are tucked away on top of the head. Most of these designs are easily available at most purchase points where the attendants show how to tie a fashion turban.
