Reader Raquel says;
Lately, I’ve been noticing more celebrities/high powered women rocking chic turbans. I LOVE the look, and I’d like to try it out as a summer protective style (plus I have so many pairs of earrings that would look DIVINE with a turban). The only problem is, I have NO CLUE how to wrap one of those things! Does anyone know the art of turban-wrapping? Is there a YouTube video or something I could reference?
OMG, I want to know this too!! Anyone have links to a turban-wrapping tutorial? Also, what are your thoughts on turbans? Would you rock one?

i LOVE turbans! i started rocking them in the winter months to protect my hair from the NYC cold and i seriously fell in love. they add a little oomph to any outfit and are the best way to mask a bad hair day. i tie mine by folding them in half and putting them on the opposite way i would tie my scarf at night (like Tupac), then either tucking the ends in the front or rolling them into a circle and securing with hairpins. if youre considering it, definitely try out this trend!

eva is killing it in that photo! i love turbans, and this is my favorite go to styles when it’s cool. in the summer – only on cool nights as it’s just too hot and i don’t like a sweaty head.
I was so excited after seeing this yesterday! I went out and bought two different fabrics for turbans/headwraps and went twitter-crazy with the pics! LOLOL!! I love the look and I plan on rocking it as often as I can.
I don’t like the turban look but I rock headwraps every once in awhile.
I can’t lie though, THAT SECOND PICTURE IS REGAL. African women can rock regality to the 100th power.
She is Arab, but you are still correct about African women in general;)
Um i love the look of turbans but also believe that it’s basically a headwrap. for those of you who do your own, how much fabric do you use?
i love turbans….when i was much younger that was a style of hat many wore to church…
i also remember that when whitney houston got married to BB, a turban was part of her outfit.
A turban highlights your face and if you think you’re beautiful…you are. thats all the confidence you need to wear a turban.
I think they look nice on few people(depending on the way it is tied) and I don’t like the look at all on myself….I guess it’s because I’m not a big fan of the knot in the front. I do rock scarves for style purposes, but in a different fashion–usually knotted to the back in some way.
The Sheikha is a BOSS. Style Icon if ever I saw one…girls and women need to take a page from her book. Or take the whole book:)
Isn’t she?! When I saw her I was like, hot DAMN!
ooh thanks, guys! i so wanna wear a turban sometime this summer. it’s really cute and i’ve gotten into hats lately. definitely gonna check these out.

Most of these look awful. The simply wrapped ones that match the outfit look decent.
I think this would be fab with a white bathing suit white turban and gold accessories.
I’m going to give it a shot. They look so cute!
This is my turban look with an infinity scarf! This is pretty easy because it’s twist and twist!
I adore turbans! Started to wear them last winter. It took some getting used to, both in learning to tie them and wearing them. I also didn’t expect to get so many reactions when out in public, people would comment, laugh or just give me funny looks. Either way, I love wearing turbans and scarves and now they’ve become a staple style for me.
I also don’t think you have to possess a huge amount of ‘diva swag’ in order to pull off this style: being comfortable in you own skin and style should suffice.
How I wear it:

Yeeessss! Hauteness!!
Super cute!
how much fabric do you use?
You look very glam!!! Yes, I do agree that you just need confidence. I definitely love wearing scarves and have been wearing turbans for months. I don’t care what anyone says, I just carry on with my business.

Wonderful post!
I’d so rock a turban–they look so chic and beautiful. I need to get some scarves and practicing tying them.
So glad someone requested this cuz it has been on my mind for the longest.
Sweet lord… you need to have some SERIOUS palpable diva-swag to rock a turban. Otherwise it just comes of as Chiquita Bananna-esque. Or worse yet, just a scarf/aunt-jemima-esque…fail. I could never do it. Partly because they just remind me of old-ladies and drag-queens.

I needed some Sylvester this morning! You have to have the confidence to pull it off.
Sheika Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned is giving me everything I need today!! WOW…
I rock turbans every chance I get! Give me some fabric, and I will make it work lol
Sheika Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned! Wow her suit is divine!
Can’t say I love turbans, but the Emir of Qatar’s wife is beyond glamorous. Talk about grace, style, and beauty in stride- gorgeous.

I love DestinyGodley! But I have a turban that’s already wrapped…like in the video above. I haven’t worn it get but I would like to put a broach on it to make it pop. I got it from Family Dollar (a cheap retail store in the south) but I heard that you can them from beauty supply stores too.
Here are two of my favs, one simple and the other a little more complex! Enjoy! =)
