- 1). Covers all of your hair with a turban cap.
- 2). Drape the fabric for the turban over your head, with most of the material falling in front of your face and the rest falling behind your head. You should have six to eight inches of fabric falling below the nape of your neck.
- 3). Hold the fabric in place with your left hand. Take the long tail of the turban in your right hand, and begin to wind it tightly, clockwise, around your head. This first circle should be tilted slightly upward but mostly horizontal.
- 4). Tilt the circle further on the next winds, creating more of a diagonal with the fabric. On each circuit, rotate the lowest point of the circle 90 degrees around your head. If the lowest point is beneath your right ear on the first circle, move it to the back of your neck for the second circle, then to your left temple for the third circle.
- 5). Increase the angle of the tilt as you continue to wind the cloth. Anchor each new circle beneath the bulge of fabric formed by the previous layers. Continue this until you have about two feet of cloth remaining.
- 6). Wrap the last two feet of material around your head in a horizontal circle, binding the turban together. Tuck the end under the previous layers.
- 7). Shift the turban up and back on your head so your forehead is clear.
