Tips On How To Tie A Turban For Added Style

By Cathy Mercer





People have been wearing turbans for centuries. It is compulsory for men in the Sikh religion and a common head covering in the Indian subcontinent. Women can wear it too and it makes a bold style statement reminiscent of the 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' by Jan Vermeer. Knowing how to tie a turban will help you to transform any outfit into something extraordinary.



Hollywood stars have worn turbans since the days of the silent movies and screen icons like Gloria Swanson. Greta Garbo, Hedy Lamarr, Lana Turner and Elizabeth Taylor have all sported this exotic look and Lamarr even showed how to tie the fabric in one of her films. Queen Elizabeth II of England has worn it instead of a hat at times and in recent years, celebrities from Kate Moss to Jennifer Lopez and Salma Hayek have been spotted in turbans.



For an ethnic look, be inspired by Solange Knowles and add a dramatic necklace and bold, patterned fabric. Otherwise wear your head covering with a simple evening dress for a regal effect. You can wear it on cold days to keep your ears warm or on days when you just want to hide your hair. It's even a great option if you've been having chemotherapy.



There are different ways to tie a turban. In one of the simplest methods, you need a big square of fabric. Fold it into a triangle. Then place the long side of the triangle against the nape of your neck, bend forward so that the pointy end hangs toward your forehead and tie the two other ends together just above your forehead, over the pointy end of the fabric.



Once you've made the knot, twist the loose ends a little and tie them back again, making a knot at the nape of your neck. Fold the pointy end back over the knot on your head and tuck it in. You can either tuck in the loose ends at the back too or let them hang free for a more relaxed look.



You can add an African twist to the basic method. Once you've made the knot on your crown, wrap the loose ends around the knot several times instead of tying them at the back. You can either tuck the ends in or tie them in a bow-like knot. Now position this dramatic knot the way you want it: either on top of your head or a little to one side.



In another variation on the basic method, twist the sides around each other instead of tying them into the first knot on top of your head. Then take them back, tie them at the base of your head and tuck in all the loose ends. The pleated effect is subtle and neat.



There are several online tutorials that will show you the various ways for how to tie a turban. If you struggle, don't despair. Simply browse through shops that sell vintage clothing. In the 1970s it was common to wear a hat-like turban that had been sewn together instead of folded. No matter what style you choose, though, wear it with confidence and you'll be sure to turn heads.
