Raving retroMask a bad hair day or simply keep the hair off your face on an exceptionally humid day with this easy turban headband. Just place a scarf around your head and bring the two ends near your forehead. Now, tie a knot and take the two ends to the back of your head. Knot them again. Adjust the width of the fabric as you desire, by pulling and covering the scarf over your hair.

Polka me prettyFor a cool duo-toned headband turban, all you need is two rectangular scraps of cloth. Measure to see if they fit around your head. Now, fold one of the cloth pieces and loop the second cloth through it. Then, you can tie the loose ends at the nape of your neck. You can also sew the loose ends together for a more lasting headband. Make sure the head wrap fits easily around your head before you begin stitching.

Desert belleGet inspired to rock a vibrant, pop hued turban head wrap à la desert princess. Just take a big rectangular scarf (for more volume in the front twist) and cover your head. Now, bring the ends of cloth hanging on either side of your face to the front near your forehead. Start twisting them. Now, roll them in the shape of a donut and tuck the loose ends under this twist. You can also pin it to keep it from sliding.

Being royalFor this royal turban head wrap, all you need is a square-shaped fabric that easily covers your head. Fold it into a triangle and place it on your head with the pointed edge tip of the cloth resting between your eyebrows. Now, gather the longer edges of the triangle and bring them to the front. Tie a knot that rests on top of your head. Take the longer edges back again and knot them again. Tuck the loose ends under the turban. Now, upturn the pointed tip of the cloth over the knot.
