All around the world, but particularly in cultures based in the Middle East or Asian countries, various groups of people often choose to wear a specific type of headpiece that may serve a religious, societal or just a practical purpose. One popular type is fashioned by taking a long length of fabric and twisting it around the head in a certain way. These easy instructions can show anyone how to wrap a turban in a simple classic style.
The process begins by placing a tight fitting cotton cap over one's head. It should be brimless and of solid color without any type of ornamentation such as embroidery or jewels. The purpose of this covering is to protect the hair from becoming tangled in the cloth as it is wrapped and to keep the final product looking neat.
The process begins with a piece of cloth that measuring a minimum of six feet long and at about a yard in width. The fabric may be longer is a bigger wrapping is desired and it can be of most any material such as silk, cotton or linen, all depending on whether one wishes to achieve a functional product or just one that looks pretty. It needs to be folded in half lengthwise four times until it is approximately 4" wide.
Holding one of the four inch ends against the lower portion of one's neck on the right hand side, the fabric will be pulled up over the head towards the left. This first pass should be high above the ear and then across the forehead. As one continues around, they should come in close to the right ear and follow the hairline on the neck.
Continue around towards the left, coming up behind the ear on the low side and bringing it up over the forehead on the right. Where the first and second laps intersect in the front should form an "X" up high near the hair line. This beginning part may feel a bit awkward until it has been practiced a few times and placement becomes comfortable.
Continue wrapping in like manner only each time around, leave approximately one inch of the previous round showing beneath the new one. With each fresh pass, the circles will become a bit wider and a little higher. This is how the classic layered and rounded look is ultimately achieved.
When the entire length of fabric has finally been added to the pile, take the inner edge of the last one and tuck it beneath those encircling the center. It is normal and expected for the middle section to show an exposed section of skull cap. Gently pull out the piece that started the whole thing, releasing the end from the nape.
Unfold this section of fabric until it forms a smooth, flat layer that completely covers all exposed parts of skull cap. Tuck all the loose ends up under the edges around the open part in the hat. This is an easy explanation of how to wrap a turban though there are literally hundreds of variations that each provide a somewhat different look.
