All around the world, but particularly in cultures based in the Middle East or Asian countries, various groups of people often choose to wear a specific type of headpiece that may serve a religious, societal or just a practical purpose. One popular type is fashioned by taking a long length of fabric and twisting it around the head in a certain way. These easy instructions can show anyone how to wrap a turban in a simple classic style.
Before beginning, one needs to obtain a cap that fits snugly over the head, covering all hair. Traditionally it should be of plain white cotton without any type of embellishments like lace, jewels or embroidery and no brim. The function of this covering is both to keep the turban from sliding around and to prevent tresses from getting caught and tangled in the fabric as it is wrapped.
The process begins with a piece of cloth that measuring a minimum of six feet long and at about a yard in width. The fabric may be longer is a bigger wrapping is desired and it can be of most any material such as silk, cotton or linen, all depending on whether one wishes to achieve a functional product or just one that looks pretty. It needs to be folded in half lengthwise four times until it is approximately 4" wide.
Holding one of the four inch ends against the lower portion of one's neck on the right hand side, the fabric will be pulled up over the head towards the left. This first pass should be high above the ear and then across the forehead. As one continues around, they should come in close to the right ear and follow the hairline on the neck.
On the second round the upward wrap should be right behind one's ear, swinging up across the front of the face. The intersection of the passes should form an "X" in the center of the forehead right at the hairline's base. Keep in mind that until one has had a bit of time to practice, this first part may seem a little awkward but it will quickly become much easier.
Repeat the wrapping action but with each new pass, leave about one inch of under layer showing beneath the top one. With each rounding the covering will start to take shape, becoming higher and wider. This is how the classic look of many turban styles is achieved.
When the entire length of fabric has finally been added to the pile, take the inner edge of the last one and tuck it beneath those encircling the center. It is normal and expected for the middle section to show an exposed section of skull cap. Gently pull out the piece that started the whole thing, releasing the end from the nape.
One it has been released, gently unfold it and spread it out across the exposed cap and smoothing it to a smooth layer. Take the loose ends and secure them by tucking under those that are rounding the center. By following these instructions on how to wrap a turban, most anyone will be able to create a classic look that can be personalized with just a few variations.
