Hijab Turban

A turban is a type of headwear that is made by cloth winding. It is traditionally worn as a customary headwear by men, especially in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and North Africa. In different faith communities, the headgear is also worn as a part of religious observance. Additionally, turbans have also come to be known as the headwear worn by women in the West. Whatever your reason for tying a turban, it's important to know how to master the wrapping technique so the turban can securely and comfortably stay on your head.

- Fold the fabric in half and place it against the back of your head, holding the ends in front of your ears. First, fold your cloth to create a scarf that is about 6 inches (15 cm) wide. Then, place it against the back of your head and bring out the front parts of the scarf so that they are out in front of your ears. You should be working with at least 5–6 feet (1.5–1.8 m) of cloth. It can help to bend your head down a bit to get the back of the fabric against the back of your head.
- Tie a knot with the fabric in the middle of your forehead. Just tie an ordinary knot, or even two, for extra security. Just keep in mind that you don't want the knot to look too bulky, or it'll stick out when you're done.
- Twist the ends of the scarf around your head until you run out of fabric. Start from the base where you tied the knot and continue twisting until you've wrapped both ends of the fabric around your head. Wrap them one layer at a time, from the layer able the initial knotted layer until you've covered the back of your head. The layers in the front should move higher and higher, while you can just wrap around one layer between the back of your ears repeatedly. Twist the fabric and keep wrapping it around your head until you've almost run out of fabric.
- Pull the fabric back across your head. Tuck it underneath the scarf in the back, and make additional adjustments if necessary. For this version of the headscarf for women, you'll need to cover all of your hair. If you prefer to leave some of your head peeking out the top, then you can just leave a space when you wrap the fabric around your head. You may want to use bobby pins to help keep the turban in place.

There is no one way to wrap a pagh or head scarf. Experiment with different styles and techniques of folding. If you are using a scarf, opt for thin, soft fabrics that are easier to keep in place. Experiment with different patterns if you want a quirky look.
