A Simple Way On How To Wear A Turban

By Ines Brennan


A turban is a significant part for a Sikh man or woman. In Sikhism, a turban is a special gift from their Guru. It is a projective identity that conveys royalty and grace for only the people who are able to the reach the higher consciousness, guilt-free of wearing the piece around their head. It signifies real commitment and infinity, and one's a person is in this phase, his turban will be expected inseparable in his everyday life. There are different ways on how to turban but no matter how it is worn, no one reprimand anyone for their chosen style. Unless morality and spirituality whittle way, then that is going to be a problem. Here is a simple way to do it, though.

First, one needs to put on a comfortable turban cap. This may seem insignificant to some people but this cap can makes the headdress more manageable upon tying around. This can also keep stray wisps of hair unnoticed when finished.

After the cap is fixed, one should take the piece of fabric with width that is about twenty yards and length at fifteen yards. This has be laid on the head. There should be about eight inches of the fabric left for this is going to be used as tail below the back neck.

To anchor the cloth firmly, the wearer needs to put his left hand against it, high up on the head. Wrapping continues using both hands but in most instances, the right hand goes in circular motion while the left hand holds the parts of the cloth.

Wrapping must be done in almost horizontal motion yet still circling around the wearer's head. The process should be done in such a way the circle is relatively a circumference of the head like tightening a sphere in circle so the cloth will not slide down when finished.

Once the fabric has already gone around, the wearer must start tilting this closer until it is almost done in a vertical manner. The last two feet should be wrapped horizontally all through the head. It will keep everything together the moment is tucked under previous wraps.

However finished, this is still half-way done. The headdress in this phase is too low over the forehead so it is best to take the entire headdress and tilt this a little until the forehead is clear. Once finished, the end should be tucked carefully. The wearer can add a colored cloth at the end of the headdress to achieve a little color variation and sense of style.

Turbans could be experimented. These might be sacred yet these can be worn in a fashionable way. Turbans are said robes of honor. Underdoing signify one's respect for the religion. Turbans are necessary to people who hold firm to their culture and religion. In the Islamic culture, people are only allowed to remove these in times of sadness.

Sikhs from different nations have their ways on how to turban but this one is the simplest but fashionably acceptable. Then again, as long as moral values are not compromised, people can wear in accordance with how they wish to it be.
