• In most cases, the turban will hide the hair, so others will pay attention to the face. It is better to do a gentle, discreet make-up, and a turban will be a great addition to it.

• If a person has long hair and it is not planned to expose it outside, then it is better to make a tight bun. This way, the hair will not cause any inconvenience when winding the turban.

• Too little tension when tying can be harmful - the turban will simply fall off the head at the most inopportune moment.

You need to try to tie as tightly as possible, but so that it is comfortable.

• It is better to tie a turban after a person has dressed, but has not yet put on outer clothing (if it is implied by weather conditions).

• Silk shawls are difficult to fix due to the nature of the material. That is why it is better for beginners in tying a turban to stop at stoles made of some other material - more dense and rough.

• It is wrong to believe that the turban is itself an accent. In most cases, it needs to be "revived" with some kind of accessory, such as a brooch. You can also wear massive clips or earrings on your ears.

• The turban has a significant advantage - it will help hide unwashed hair and lack of styling.
