Factors To Consider Before Purchasing An Urban Turban

By Amanda Baird


The fashion and clothing industry have greatly diversified over the years. This has seen the introduction of new dressing styles to replace the old trends. This diversity has seen the rise in popularity of the urban turban. Lately, head wrappers have become a choice of a good portion of the population. This is because they are not exclusively limited to any gender, age group, or religion. Initially, the only use of head wrappers was to tie up hair.

Nowadays the uses of head clothes have become more than just holding the hair. Appearance enhancement is probably the most important purpose of head wrappers in accessorizing the dress code. Head clothes add a lot of glamour to the general appearance of a person. This has greatly increased their popularity in the fashion industry. They are available in many colors and this means you can match them with your clothing. This makes the person wearing them look elegant and stylish.

Head clothes have earned themselves a name in the in various religious circles. It is a religious requirement that members of the Sikh religion have their hair covered at all times. This means that the staunch followers have no choice but to wear headbands and wrappers. Muslims also, like their leader Mohammed, are compelled by religion to wear headbands and wrappers. In the Muslim religion, a white head wrapper, as the one Mohammed wore, signifies holiness.

Head bands and head wrappers also come in handy for cultural events. In some parts of India, it is compulsory for the groom and members of his family to wear head wrappers. These head wrappers signify self-respect and prosperity. This makes them a very important aspect of Indian weddings.

In places with extreme weather conditions, head wrappers are used for protection from adverse conditions. Most head wrappers are heavier than ordinary hats and caps. These make them a lot warmer. During winter or cold windy seasons head wrappers are therefore a better option in keeping your head warm. In areas where the sun glares, head wrappers are used as shields from the direct rays of the sun.

Regardless of all the reasons why you want a head wrapper, considering some factors before making the purchase is advisable. The most important consideration to make is the durability of the head wrapper. This almost solely depends on the quality of the fabric used to make the head wrapper. Quality fabrics are generally bound to last longer than substandard ones. However, being able to distinguish a high quality fabric from a low quality fabric requires a keen eye and some knowledge on the types of fabrics in the market.

You should never neglect the weight of a head clothe. The size and type of fabric greatly contribute to the weight of your headbands. Some fabrics are very heavy and thus make headbands of significant weight. Such head wears may strain your neck causing a great deal of pain. This is the reason why people are advised against tying heavy head covers.

The different uses of the urban turban have made it very popular. The property of it being that it can be worn with both formal and official wear makes it popular among people from all walks of life. Head wrappers can also be used to express moods and feelings.
