Turban/head coverings

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Lily!

 

Here are three possibilities:

 

A phone # in NM for a place that was advertising turbans in last

year's 3HO catalog: 505-747-3709. They don't say, but perhaps you

could ask for instructions.

 

I don't know how to tie a turban in any of the classical styles, but

sometimes I do a simple "house turban" from the thinnest cotton cloth

that I could find at a fabric store. I use a strip which is 12-13

inches wide and about 6 feet long. I knot two corners together at

one end, and put that knot on the back of my head under the

hairline. I wrap the cloth over so my head is covered and bring the

material together just above the brow point, and start twisting the

fabric until it is tightly twisted and I have enough to wrap all the

way around my head, and repeat until I'm out of fabric (I like it

long enough to wrap around 3 times - this feels nice and solid). The

first wrap is the lowest one. When I get to the end I just tuck it

in, although a pin helps to keep it from coming apart.

 

What I usually do, though, is just a white bandanna. This is enough

to keep my hair up and covered, and to apply some pressure to the

skull - whatever approach you take, it is helpful to tie your hair up.

 

Love & blessings,
