How to tie a turban?

A turban is a traditional headdress worn by residents of the East. However, now it has become a global trend that has not lost its position for which season. Today we’ll talk about how to tie a turban on your own beautifully and what you can use for this.

The main thing to pay attention to is the quality and structure of the fabric from which the turban is to be twisted. Hard fabric like flax is not suitable for these purposes, as rough angular folds look unattractive.

You can try to use a silk scarf or scarf, both plain and print. Silk shimmers beautifully in the sun and drapes well, however, this material is rather slippery, so it can lose shape when worn.

In the summer, when there is unbearable heat on the street and the sun is baking, you can cover your head by wrapping a T-shirt on it. This is also a kind of turban, most often used by men.

Do not forget that turban can be worn not only on the street. Remember what you wind on your head when you leave the shower with wet hair? That's right, a towel.

Let's get started on learning how to make a turban with your own hands. And we begin, of course, with the simplest.

It will take a long scarf.Choose color and print to your taste.

So:

• collect curls in a “bump”, secure with an elastic band;
• lower your head down, cover it with a scarf - as a result, the nape will be closed, and the edges of the scarf should freely hang forward;
• cross these edges in the frontal zone, then wrap them with a “hump”;
• interlace the ends of the scarf with each other until they are shortened to such an extent that they can be “hidden” under drapery and fixed.

Suitable for those who like to wear a turban bandage with her hair loose.

Algorithm of actions:

• dissolve curls, comb;
• keeping your head straight, skip the scarf under the hair without hiding it;
• cross the ends of the scarf in the forehead, wrap their head around them, and do this until you can put them under the turban;
• in front of the center, it is recommended to place a decorative brooch (if you like such jewelry) or leave a knot.

Now that we have learned the basic techniques for tying a turban, we can move on to more complex methods.

There are several such options.

• Fold a scarf, stole or pareo in half along, throw it on the back of the head, with the ends pointing towards the face. In the frontal zone, twist them into a tight tourniquet (similar to how you twist a bath towel).

• Fold the selected accessory in the same way as in the previous case, but throw it on your forehead and take the ends to the back of the head. There, twist them with a tourniquet and, leading around the circumference of the head, return to the back of the head and tuck the tip of the tourniquet under it.

• Another interesting way - with a “donut” in front. First, we do the same thing as in the first case: we put a scarf on the back of the head, put its ends to the forehead, twist them. And then we begin the formation of "evidence": we wind the resulting tourniquet on its base in a circular motion. The result is a voluminous "hoot." We hide the tip of the harness under it, you can fix it with a pin.

This option can be worn both with loose hair and completely hidden under a turban.

• Throw the selected accessory (scarf, scarf) on the back of the head, bring the ends to the face. In the frontal zone, overlap them crosswise.
• Form a loop from one end and thread the other end of the scarf through it.
• Tighten the loop. Get the free ends of the scarf behind your head and hide them under the resulting turban.

Another original way. You will need a beautiful bright shawl or a scarf.

• If you have chosen a square scarf, fold it diagonally to make a triangle. Throw it on the back of the head. The “top” of the triangle should be on the forehead.
• Pull the ends of the scarf forward, twist in the frontal zone, then take them to the back of the head and twist again.
• This should be done until the tips of the scarf become completely small (10-15 centimeters). They should be tied in a knot and tucked under a turban.
• The "top" of the triangle, the one on the forehead, needs to be folded back and tucked under the resulting harnesses.

The female version of wearing a headscarf in Tunisia is a hijab, not a turban. Special canvases for its formation are sold in the eastern markets and have a huge color variety and excellent quality.

• Fold the scarf on one side by about 15 centimeters, lay it with this edge on the forehead.
• Fasten the hijab under the chin using a simple pin. And attention: one hanging edge should be longer than the other.
• Put that tip, which is shorter, on the neck, and wrap it long a couple of times (how long is enough), drape it beautifully and secure it with a brooch in the area of ​​the clavicle or in the temporal zone.

We all saw photographs of exotic women in Africa, and very often bright turbans flaunt on their heads.

Let's learn how to properly form an African version of a turban.

• To start, comb the hair up and twist it into a "bobbin". Secure it with an elastic band.
• Next, take a scarf, throw it on the back of the head, grabbing a “bump”, bring the ends forward.
• Cross them in the frontal zone, take them back to the back of the head. Cross them again, direct them to the face.
• Move towards the hulk. You will need to twist a scarf around her, completely hiding her hair.
• When the scarf has tips 10-15 centimeters long, tuck them into the folds of the resulting turban or under it in the neck area.

To implement this option, you can use two scarves of different colors, for example, gray and purple, black and tiffany, green and red. In the mix of shades there will be a special chic.

• Put one scarf on another, cover their head on top and tighten the tight knot on the back of the head. Hair should not be visible.
• The free ends of the scarf begin to twist, as if weaving a braid. Do this in random order: you can braid one pigtail, you can twist 2 flagella, and then twist them together - your imagination here can go wild.
• Further, the resulting tourniquet is displayed on the head to the face, moving in a semicircle. We hide the tip of the scarf under the turban and fix it with a pin.

• If the man’s hair is long, they should be gathered in a bun and secured.
• Further, you can put on a special hat (fez, skullcap, patka) or a bandana, or you can start wrapping a turban on an uncovered head.
• After this, the main work begins - the formation of a turban. The selected segment must be wound diagonally in layers, moving first from right to left, and then vice versa. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that each previous layer “peeks out” from under the next.
• You can close the crown by releasing one layer of winding from above and distributing it over the head.
• The remaining tip of the cut is tucked under the turban.

Now let's get acquainted with the recommendations of fashion professionals.

• Pay attention to the face. This means that a pale and tired appearance and a turban are incompatible things. Remember the oriental beauties and their bright makeup! Even if you don’t like to paint, remember: even skin tone, well-groomed eyebrows and long eyelashes are a necessity, not a whim.

• Use accessories: large earrings, necklaces, chains. They will add exotic to the image. You can also decorate the turban itself with a beautiful brooch.

• Decide if you want to wear a turban with your hair loose or with your hair tucked under it.. In the first case, it is recommended to tie a high “hook” and fix it with an elastic band, in the second case, dissolve the previously washed and dried curls, comb them thoroughly and then form a turban. To straighten them or wind them up is a matter of your taste.

• If wearing a turban is not a tribute to religion, but just part of a fashionable bow, try so that the ears “peep” slightly from under it.

• When tying a turban do not be zealous and pull your head together - So you can only harm yourself by causing a headache.

Well, now it's time to see our photo selection and try to repeat the image you like.
