Turbans are very easy to wrap once you get the right fabric for them, I use
two different methods to wrap mine, and you can get a multitude of looks
depending on how you twist the fabric as you wrap.
I have two turbans, both are a very lightweight cotton (almost gauze) and
the shortest one is two and a half meters long - it makes a very skimpy
turban. I can see about getting some pictures to show you how I wrap them -
folks ask me about this on a regular basis, so its something I should do
anyway. :0) Visual is easier to figure out than descriptive I think...

I am watching a program on the Koran, and see several types of men's head
dress. One with a white cloth and then a black "rope" circlet of two
rounds. It looks like marine rope, but this seems unlikely. Anyone know
anything about it? Also, there are some simple turban like head dress,
both simply white and black....anyone know how to wrap them?
Thanks,
Sg
