How To Make An Arabic Turban

By Kate McMahon


One of the many vital features within the Arabic faith is the turban. An Arabic turban is an item which must be possessed by all baptized persons. It is normally viewed as a sign of being courageous, honorable, holy and self respectful.

The methods or procedures that are normally applied when wearing the headgear are numerous, although the wrapping that goes round the head seven times is the most common of them all. It is mainly flat on its side and a bit high at the centre. Discussed here are some of the simple steps that can be followed in order to tie a turban.

First and foremost, you should have a 5 meter piece of fabric which you may purchase from a craft, textile or online stores. To remove the extra starch that it might have, you will need to wash it well. Along its length, fold the fabric into half up to four times. You can get some help in order to do this well.

The fabric should then be lined up so that its edges are a bit flush. You will then roll the fabric up carefully. Gather all your hair at the front part of your head and create a long rope by twisting it.

In the step that come afterwards, take the twisted rope of hair and position it on your head;s top. Tie the hair well using a piece of square cloth like a bandana. Ensure the tie is at the back and in case there is any excess cloth remaining after the tie, hold it and tie it to the front. Commonly called pakta, this cloth is worn beneath the turban.

Grasp the turban's rolled end using your teeth. Then, you will need to roll it around your ear to the head's rear part. Two-three inches over the right ear is the required measurement. Wrap the fabric round the head. However, make sure you cover the left ear just partially.

For the second time, wrap the headgear round the head. The wrap should be high on the left and low on the right, contrary to the previous one. The next wrap should be at the opposite side.

Take the headgear around the head for five more times. As opposed to the previous wrap, the wrapping is supposed to be a bit higher on the left side and low on the right side. Next, trim out the extra material at the roll's end with a pair of scissors to be able to tuck it well at the left side at the back of the head.

The last step is taking out some inches out of the initial wrap. Spread the material over your head after carefully unfolding it. Ensure the head is completely covered by holding the material's sides and tucking it into the part of the headgear that goes round the head. Any material that is left out in excess should be tucked behind. You will have the best Arabic turban if you apply these simple steps.
