Question

How do I tie a shemagh on my head like a hat?

Community Answer

Fold the shemagh diagonally and roll the lengthier side (i.e. the folded side) for 3-4 rolls. Put it over your head, with the rolls facing upwards, and turn the shemagh ends back to both of your ears. Then, tie them up. (Instead of tying, you can also just tuck them inside the rolls you made.)

Question

Is there a recommended way to wear it that doesn't cover the face, but does cover the neck?

Community Answer

I recommend number 3. You can pull down on the part that covers your face.
