How to tie a turban from a scarf?

The turban is one of the most fashionable hats, without losing its relevance for several seasons. Today we will tell you how to tie it with an ordinary scarf.

To begin with, we give some tips for choosing the most suitable accessory.

• Decide on the length of the scarf. The larger it is, the more voluminous and interesting the final design will turn out, and you can try different options for tying. The stole is especially good in this regard. A short scarf is suitable for tying a turban, a bandage involving loose hair. Recommended scarf length - 160 cm, width - 60-65 cm.
• Scarf Coloring - a question of your personal preferences. You can choose either a one-color accessory or a two-color one, or with a bright complex print.
• Manufacturing material also plays an important role. When it’s cool outside, choose cashmere and woolen scarves, and when warm - silk, chiffon, linen, satin.

Now let's learn how to tie a turban with our own hands.

So, let's start with an interesting way to wind an African turban.

The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• tie your hair into a tall “bump” and fasten it well;
• take a scarf, throw it on the back of the head so that 2 free ends of the same length hang on the sides of the face;
• bring these ends to the forehead, twist them crosswise;
• wrap with a scarf the resulting “bump” of hair;
• Fill the remaining loose ends under the folds of the turban.

The next way is wind the scarf over the head, forming a “donut” in front:

• as in the previous case, we put the accessory on the back of the head, the free edges are brought to the forehead;
• we begin to twist the ends of the scarf together - a long bundle should be obtained;
• then we begin to lay this tourniquet in a spiral on the forehead in the form of a curl of a snail shell;
• hide the remaining free tip under the resulting "donut".

Turkish turban can be done like this:

• we throw a scarf on the occipital part of the head, bring the edges to the forehead, cross them with each other;
• then one of the ends we wrap the head around the circumference, fix it, hiding under the fold;
• do the same with the other end of the scarf.

Another interesting way, leaving the top of the head open:

• take a not too long scarf;
• throw it on the back of the head, bring the ends to the forehead;
• cross them once and twice to create volume in the frontal zone;
• spread the free edges on the sides of the head and hide them under a scarf;
• the result is a turban-bandage that can be worn with a bang, loose hair or a ponytail.

And finally, a very unusual option, in which the main "decor" will be on the side.

• We put a scarf on the back of the head, bring the ends forward, but not to the forehead, but to that side of the head where you want to form the decorative part of the turban.
• We tie several nodes in a row - you get something like a rope.
• We lay the resulting “rope” on the side, we fix the free edge under the turban. You can leave it a little longer (if the length of the accessory allows) and put it on the other side of the head, laying it on the neck.

Men in our country rarely wear turbans, except for religious reasons, however, we will tellhow to tie a turban in Indian. For these purposes, a length of fabric is traditionally used. about 6 meters and a width of up to 20 cm, but you can try take a long cotton scarf.

• If desired, first put on a hat (fez, skullcap) or bandana, although this is not necessary.
• Start wrapping a turban. To do this, wind the scarf diagonally in layers, moving first from left to right, then vice versa. Please note that the layers need to be laid with a "ladder" so that the previous one is visible from under the next.
• Cover the top of the head by releasing one of the upper layers of the winding, distributing it over the head.
• Fill the free tip of the scarf under the turban.

Well, now check out our selection of photos - get ideas for inspiration.

• An option for flashy, confident women. Large volumetric turban in African style is complemented by large earrings and sconces with geometric print. A stylish white jacket with red buttons completes the look.

• And this image is very bold, one might even say artsy and suitable for thematic photo shoots rather than for everyday wear. However, removing some details (for example, makeup that is too bright), you can take it into service: leave a turban, large accessories, a suit with a print. It will turn out a very original exotic onion.

• A man in a turban does not have to look like a padish - This example shows that a turban of discreet smoky blue will perfectly fit even in a business image.
