All through the recorded history of fashion, women have had always had some form of head wear trending. The addition of this accessory to an outfit can take it from making a good impression to being truly remarkable. Whether she prefers a yellow sunhat, a blue pillbox or a purple turban, a woman's choice of covering should serve its purpose while suiting her personality.
One of the most versatile types of head covering is the turban. This is because the term loosely encompasses a wide range of designs and there are hundreds of different variations of these styles. The most commonly recognized versions are the ones worn by certain religious groups and several cultures throughout the Middle East, India, Asia and Africa.
The official definition is a head covering formed by taking a long length of fabric and winding it around the skull in a snug fashion that encompasses all on one's hair. By modern fashion standards, this term now means anything that has a general resemblance. Though some designs require one to wrap the scarf themselves, others can be purchased fabricated as a hat.
Most caps of this type are made to look like a wrapped headpiece but can vary in the type of fabric used and the embellishments that are added. Some designs are intended to serve functional purposes and others are meant to be worn in public and displayed as beautiful accessories. One popular version used for practical reasons is the terry cloth style that fits like a wrapped towel and dries hair quickly and without rubbing.
Various renditions can be created using different colors and prints on long scarves of one's desired color choice and fabric. Many designs begin by twisting the material into a rope or folding it into a three inch wide length. By centering the cloth on the forehead or nape and wrapping it around to the opposite side, twisting to reverse direction and then tying a knot at the rear, a lovely headband is formed.
The scarf may be used to simulate the traditional style by pleating the fabric lengthwise in bands of one or two inches. Begin in the back as with the headband, come to the front and tie it once before reversing to the back and tying a knot. Finish the look by tucking in the ends and then spreading the pleats loosely so that the whole crown of the head is covered, holding the material in place with bobby pins.
Another widely used design for scarves is to fold the fabric into a triangle and utilize it as a bandanna. Though very simple in its concept, it can be easily adapted depending on whether the ends are tied in a knot or a bow, and whether it is placed in the front, back or on the side of the head. Adding personal touches such as brooches, flowered bobby pins or rhinestones can also give the piece a whole new appeal.
Tying one's own purple turban can be a satisfying way to get a personalized look. Most hats of this style are also able to be fully customizable. One may choose from the many variations available to form fashionable headbands, amazing bandannas, full skull caps or other amazing designs and add their favorite type of embellishment to create something unique.
