How to wear a chic turban this summer

I am a huge fan of a turban and head scarves (you could probably tell from my social media posts). And I have been having many requests from you about how to tie a turban properly and what type of scarves I use. I am happy to share my tips and ideas for this simple wrapping technique!

But first things first. What is a turban and why is it so popular? This chic headwear is made by cloth winding and its a traditional (and mandatory in some places) headgear for men in Southern Asia, Indian Sub Continent and North Africa. In some communities turban is also considered part of the religious observance, and in the West women wear turbans as part of fashion trend. I love turbans for various reasons. First of all, its an easy fix if you have a bad hair day. Second, turban is a statement accessory, it could enhance your look and make it a lot of more eye catching. And third, turbant adds confidence. I think it has to do something with covering your head and wearing something significant on your head at the same time..I am trying to draw parallels here with wearing a crown…

I am happy to show you 5 easy steps on how to master the wrapping technique so the turban can comfortably stay on your head.

Choose the proper scarf. I use triangle shape, its better if its not too wide and the fabric should be thin enough (if its too thick it could make your head look bigger). I use both, silk and cashmere scarves, prints and solid colours. It all depends on what kind of outfit you have.
Prepare your hair. If you have long hair, tie it up in a bun. I prefer to hide hair completely, however, you can also show part of your hair do and only tie the scarf in front of your head, so you can leave the back open. You can also use a very narrow scarf and leave your hair down.
Wrap the scarf around your head and make a knot behind your head.
Take both ends of the scarf and bring it to the front of your head. Twist both ends and when you can’t wrap the scarf anymore, take the leftover end to the back of your head.
Tuck in the remaining loose end at the back.
