How to Tie a Scarf into A Turban

I’ve had a few readers ask me over the years how I tie my scarves into turbans. Here’s a quick and easy tutorial showing you how to tie both square and rectangular scarves into turbans.

How to Tie a Scarf into A Turban

Notes:

* It’s best to use cotton scarves as silky ones tend to slide around a bit

* Remember to tie them loosely because that’s where you get all the lovely volume from

* It looks more elegant if you keep the top of your ears covered, otherwise you look a little bit like you’re about to do aerobics

* Own it. You’ll only pull off a turban if you believe you can 

* Definitely wear earrings. Turbans look fabulous with earrings

Are you a turban wearer? Would you consider giving the old head scarf a go?

      Usually around you acutally because we tend to see each other in humid weather when my hair is being ridiculous.

    So easy! I do tend to keep my hair down (especially in the colder weather) as it’s so good at keeping my neck and back warm. But this is definitely something to try!

      I actually find the turban quite warm but you might need to pair it with a pashmina around your neck!

    I haven’t ever worn a turban as such, but I often wear scarves! And yes, definitely wear earrings. 🙂

      I’m all over the turbans! It’s a habit born from having weird hair that won’t behave. 🙂

    Thank you. I’ve been trying to do this for years, as I am good friends with the bad hair day and now I can finally wrap it up without looking like a school pageant wise man x

      I actually LOLed at school pageant wise man. That’s the exact look you get when it goes wrong. Hilarious.
