Learn How To Tie Turbans For Chemo Patients

By Odessa Edwards


A very beautiful and essential garment for a woman to have has to be a turban. Not only can the article be worn for style and fashion but also for protection against the cold. It can be worn artistically in the case of a dancer or as a fashion accessory in the case of a model. The only thing that has prevented it from growing globally is the lack of knowledge on how to tie turbans for chemo patients, the very subject we are broaching today.

The styles incorporated in each of the styles of wrapping are diverse. For example a woman who is a dancer is most likely going to tie her turban in a different manner than that woman who does it due to her hair loss problem. Admittedly the first few times you do this you might not get it right, however with a little practice you will be an expert in no time. The first thing is to choose the cloth you will use on the garment. Some cloth types like the medium crisp cotton is good for those with hair loss. The material can hold itself together when wrapped.

The first step is going out to choose the fabric that you will be using to make the garment. Here you should consider your purpose. For the dancer you can choose a silk fabric but also ensure that you also buy a more gripping cloth that chiffon to go with it. This is because silk is slippery. If you are undergoing chemo you will need a fabric that can hold itself in place like the medium crisp cotton. So take time to choose.

You might however want to consider the clothing you are buying and see whether they may want to buy an accompanying cloth with it. For instance you can buy Chiffon which is more gripping to improve the silk from being as slippery. Also your desired piece may have definite insides and outsides.

The other stage is the sewing. This is very easy and going to a professional will be a complete waste but it is still your choice. First you should cut your piece of clothing to at least 37 inches in both height and width.

You take the turban and center the bottom end of the triangle on the nape of your neck. Then bring the center corner over your forehead, and also the other two ends and tie them together. Take the center corner that is now over your head and tuck it under the knot. This should give you a beautiful head accessory.

There are several tips that aim at making the garment a little less loose. First is before you start the tying ensure that your hair is in a bun. Another tip is to use bobby pins to enhance the firmness of the garment if it is a little too loose for you. A last tip is to embellish your piece of clothing with many accent scarves. If you twist them through the base wrap you should be able to tighten the garment further.

The square garment you can customize right from the cloth buying. However you can use the services of a professional turban maker if you wish as much as it will kill the thrill. How to even tie turbans for chemo patients should no longer be a mystery though. Wear one today.
