"How to Tie a Turban" by Harjot G

 Tying a turban isn’t easy especially when comes to having it on for 7+ hours but don’t get me wrong, it is pretty cool tying one especially if you want attention. So there are basic steps you need to follow but first of all you need the following materials.

1.     A comb

2.     Some long hair (If not, a potato will work but not recommended at all)

3.     6 meter long cloth (Fabric) 

4.     Under piece cloth

5.     A spoon (If you have long hair)

6.     Water

So once you have those “materials” in your possession you will need to start the tying process. (Warning: If you tie it too tight there is not going back because that is what I go through ever morning) This process takes around 15 and also depends how big your head is and how big of a cloth you are tying. So lets begin the process.

1.     First of all comb you hair downwards if you have long hair. Then tie it up on the top of your head very loose and flat. If you are using a potatoes then you have to use the under piece cloth to hold it still. Make sure the potato is small. If you don’t want to use a potato you don’t have to.

2.     Next you want to tie the small under piece cloth just to make a top layer on the top. If you don’t have long hair just continue on.

3.     If you want good results you can wet the cloth to make it firm and graspable.

4.     Then get your 6m cloth from one side and slide it from the top of your head to the back of your left ear and then into your mouth to hold it.

5.     Then the longer side of the cloth you start making a banana shape from the sides. Take the cloth and take it over your left eye along your head over your left ear.

6.     Then take it from the back to the right ear and over that.

7.     Then take it along the back of your head horizontally to the front of your head and going straight across your forehead.

8.     Then just keep wrapping it pretty much however you want to. The design is up to you.

9.     As you come to your last end of your cloth it should end up in the back where you can tuck it in. It shouldn’t be in the front for no reason at all. It will look ugly in the front.

10. Then tuck the last piece in.

11.  Now with the spoon make your adjustments of the curves and lines in the turban however you want. If you have long hair then use the end of the spoon to tuck it in.

12. After all the designs are fixed and you are satisfied then give a pat on your back and feel bad for me because I do this everyday.

I’m not saying I hate tying a turban but it’s just a lot of work and uncomforting at times. So there’s nothing wrong with it but its time consuming but worth it. But here are some recommended things that would make you look better in a turban

1.     Beard and mustache (Recommended for men only)
