So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Tie A Turban For Women

By Cathy Mercer


The turban is fast becoming a fashion item among many women these days. It is an odd yet creative and ethnic piece in the world of beauty. It is also a fashionable way of concealing bad hair. This article provides information on how to tie a turban for women to bring that out different look.

The first method is the Riveter wrap. Here one takes a large square scarf, folds it diagonally then places the straight long edge of cloth at the back of head. Then the ends of the material are tied at the front of head lightly. The hanging piece of cloth from behind is then taken to the front and tucked under the knot. This way, hair is gathered inside the scarf. One then tightens the knot.

A forehead wrap is the other way of tying this material. One can have her hair to the back or tied in a ponytail. The individual will then take a square scarf, fold it to a diagonal half. A long triangle will be created and one lines the straight age of triangle along the forehead. The rest of the cloth will hang to the back after which one will take the ends of the scarf and make a strong know at the back of head.

Yet a common style is head band wrap. This can be done in two ways. The first one involves tying the hair in a low braid and strapping the material around base of pony in a single knot. The second way involves folding the clothing to form a band which is then tied around the head forming a bow.

There is also the crown style where one uses a rectangular material or a square scarf folded diagonally. The folded edge of clothing is placed along the forehead with one side of fabric longer on the side than the other. The sides are then pulled backwards and twisted one over the other forming a thick band which is spiraled around the head like a crown. On finishing, the twisted end is tied with the first end at the nape of neck.

A famous way of wearing turbans is the African gele usually done by women from West Africa. Here they use special clothing but the ordinary scarf can work. The scarf should be folded forming a width of 6 inches and then it is wrapped over the head. One side should be longer than the other. The ends should then be tied over the other to create a bow at the front.

The final style is the rosette wrap. This uses a rectangular cloth folded diagonally. The long folded edge is then placed on the forehead and then both sides of material are brought towards one side of the head. The ends are then tied into a knot and one hanging end is twisted and spiraled around the knot forming a rosette. The other end is also done the same and the tips of both ends tucked into the scarf or secured with a pin.

Therefore for people who were wondering on how to tie a turban for women there are many ways to do so as seen above. An individual can use brightly colored or patterned scarves to rock this look. To get write the above style, one needs practice.
