The Best Tips On Turban Wrapping

By Sue Carpenter


Indian weddings are normally characterized by the finest foods, gifts, clothing, and a wide variety of accessories. Both the grooms and their brides must wear special outfits and ensure that they look their best. In this regard, turbans are important accessories that are used to complement the attire. Special turban wrapping skills are required to ensure that the headdress is done properly on this special day.

Turbans are among the most important traditional attire for the Indians. They are very popular with most grooms and brides, regardless of whether they host the wedding within their country or abroad. These headdresses are used as accessories, which are normally worn with sherwanis in order to make the attire distinct and in effect, enhance their looks. Traditional wedding turbans are usually rich red in color.

Sherwanis come in two major color varieties, namely, white and off-white. Fortunately, turbans can be used to complement either color varieties, owing to the many different choices available. On the other hand, the 'twisted yam' is the most common wrapping technique. For a person to use this technique, he/she she needs to practice some basic skills, which are very easy and fun.

Turbans are not only common in India, but also many other cultures around the world. The headgear is traditional attire that is specially designed for covering the head. In addition, they are the perfect accessories for complementing other clothing such as weddings dresses for grooms and brides. However, people must follow appropriate instructions when wearing them in order to reap maximum benefits.

Hair curls showing from beneath the headdress is one of the challenges that one has to contend with. However, turban caps provide a simple solution to this problem. These accessories have to be used in the right way to be effective. Before tying their turbans, one has to first place cotton strips, and then set the caps. When doing this, he/she should allow for appropriate clearances under the neck and away from the face.

After placing the caps, you should position the palm of your hand on the head and then pull back the front end of the turban. Proceed by grabbing it from the back using your other hand and pull it from left to right, in a circular motion to make it tight. In effect, this wraps it firmly on your head. You should then repeat this procedure.

Once secured firmly on the head, he/she needs to ensure that the style is appropriate for the occasion. The most common design during weddings is one where the left-front side is slightly elevated than the right side. To create this design, he/she needs to wrap the cloth and send it slightly to the right. The last wraps should be placed above the elevated side in order to create a tilt at the back.

Turban wrapping should be done repeatedly until it is firmly in place. On the vertical axis, one should fold and cover the wrap from left to right, around his/her body. They should continue covering until the entire length of fabric is used up, leaving 2 feet. These last 24 inches are very important and should be placed in horizontal orientation to hold the wraps in place.
