Some sports patkas have a built-in headband.
The cloth should cover all your hair, but not your eyebrows or ears. Tuck any loose hairs under the cloth once it has been tied.
Tuck any remaining string into the folds to keep it from hanging loose.
The longer the cloth, the larger the turban will be. Most Sikh turbans are wrapped over turban caps or smaller turbans called patkas. Use a double wide cloth that is 3 metres (9. 8 ft) long and 2 metres (6. 6 ft) wide for a larger turban with fewer wraps.
You will end up with a wrap that is very long and only a few inches wide.
Make sure to cover your earlobes with the turban.
Keep tension in the cloth but don’t wrap it so tightly that it constricts your head.
This turban will be wider at the sides rather than rounded.
Tuck the ends tightly into the turban so that they don’t come out and your hair knot is covered.
Not all of your hair needs to be covered by the keski, but the cloth does need to sit securely on your head. Use semi-transparent cloth that is roughly 10 metres (33 ft) long and 35 centimetres (14 in) wide. The keski needs to be even and round on top of your head, and this may take a few tries!
Make sure that your turban doesn’t slip by winding it close to the base of your head and working your way up. You can use the wound keski base as an anchor to create a smooth, even shape.
This type of turban is even on all sides and sits much higher than other turbans.
You can use any material to make a fashion turban. Try playing with colors that complement your outfit as well as colors that contrast it.
Tie a single knot to allow for easy adjustments. If you tie a double-knot, you may have to completely untie the fabric it if your turban is uneven later in the process.
Tie a tight and secure knot to keep your turban fastened to your head. Make sure the front tip of the triangle stays neatly tucked under the knot at the front.
Tuck in any loose strands of hair that may be hanging out of your turban.
