One classic cute style is to tie it with a front knot. Wrap a scarf around the back of your head and tie a knot in front, at your forehead. Twist the loose ends together and wrap them around into a coil, then tuck the ends in under the knot.

Staff Answer

The turban is an important symbol of Sikh identity. It also serves the practical purpose of protecting its wearer’s hair, which is not to be cut out of respect for the perfection of God’s creation, according to the Sikh faith. The turban is thought to have originated with the first Sikh gurus. It represents ideals such as spirituality, honor, piety, self-respect, and courage.

Question

How long do you think a turban for a kid about 7-10 years old would be?

Community Answer

It depends on face shape and size, and also depends on the size of the kid's hair. 5.5 meters is an average size that works for just about all head sizes.

Question

How many yards for turban?

Community Answer

An average turban (adults) tends to be around 5 meters. For teens or those starting out, 4 meters is usually good. It provides easier handles and gets you adjusted to the process.

Question

What is the name of this style of turban?

Community Answer

The man's style appears to be either a Mysore peta or a Marathi pheta. This is just a guess, though, as many of the style's variations are hard to see.
