One of the most integral parts of the Arabic faith is the turban. An Arabic turban is a mandatory item for all who have been baptized. It is considered as a symbol of self respect, honor, spirituality and courage.
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.
You should begin by buying fabric which should measure at least 5 yards. You may get it from your local textile store, craft store or buy it online. It will have to undergo some washing in order to get rid of the excess starch. The fabric should be folded into half on the long side, up to a maximum of four times. You might require a helping hand to do this in order to get the best results.
Take the fabric and line it up, ensuring that the edges are flush. Carefully roll up the fabric with both hands. Take your hair, gather it in front and twist it continuously to come up with a long rope.
Form a loop with the twisted hair and place it at the top of your head. Using a piece of square cloth such as bandana, tie the hair. The tie should be at the back and in case there is any excess cloth at the back then it should be brought to the front and tied here. This piece of cloth is worn under the headgear and is commonly referred to as Patka.
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.
Next, the headgear should be wrapped again around the head for a second time. With the previous wrap higher on the left side and lower on the right side. Ensure the next wrap is the exact opposite.
For five more times, the headgear should go round the head. This should be higher to the left and lower on the right side. Trimming any extra material with scissors is the next step. This is to enable proper tucking of the turban at the back of the head.
Finally, you need to pull out a few inches of the first wrap. The material should be unfolded and then spread over the head. The sides of the material should be firmly tucked into the turban part that encircles the head to cover it completely. Make sure you tuck all the excess material at the back. With all these steps well followed, you will end up with the perfect Arabic turban.
