Meaning and history of the turban

Its initial use was mainly in the regions of Africa, Asia and the Middle East, but its exact origin is not known. For a long time it was part of the traditional clothing of many peoples and fabrics and prints were used as a way of identifying specific groups.

In Brazil, they were brought by African slaves, who kept them as a symbol of their culture. Nowadays, despite being used as an adornment or beauty item, the turban carries important symbolisms of black culture, representing values ​​such as resistance and empowerment.

In this way, much of the black community uses it in order to display their pride in being part of such a resilient group. However, over the years the traditions of different peoples have been mixed and the use of the turban has also been adopted, and can currently be seen by different individuals, even if outside the context of cultural affirmation.

types of turban

There are so many ways to braid and tie the turban that it even makes a knot on the head. But don’t worry, here are some of the main types.

curled tip

Its main feature, as its name suggests, is the finishing with the end rolled up and tied in a visible way. The “knot” looks really cool when on top of the head, but it can also be positioned on the sides or back. It is made with the cloth holding all or most of the hair to then create a fuller end that stands out, curling in on itself. The result is very casual, ideal for more informal occasions.

retro

Perhaps the most different is the retro turban. It refers more to the glamorous films of the 20s and its classic costumes, marked by elegance. It can be purchased ready-made, resembling a closed cap or with an opening, or it is also possible to use a fabric and tie it over the head in a very polished way, without large volumes or apparent ends. Coco Chanel is a figure known for wearing this model.

Range

Often seen around, the sash turban is perhaps the most common of all. Basically it’s done by starting at the back of the head, then bringing the two halves of the fabric forward, intertwining one half with the other and then tossing it back again. This process is done until the length is finished and then the two ends are placed in one of the curves of the fabric, securing it well. It serves for relaxed moments like going out to the beach, for example, it maintains style without losing practicality.

whole hair

Very relaxed, but still elegant, this model consists of holding the entire hair, leaving only the turban on display. Although this type is in a single category, the variations are endless, being able to adapt different fabrics, prints and even ties, as long as all the hair is “hidden”. It also works well for situations that require more practicality, as the hair does not interfere with the action. However, nothing prevents its use on formal occasions, as the turban can bring a whole charm.

bulky

The rule is simple: volume up, volume to the sides, volume to everything that is place. The voluminous turban is more flashy than the other models, but it is still beautiful. He can also use the most varied lashings, as long as his proportion is preserved. Therefore nodes and ties can contribute to this. This turban is the closest to traditional models, descendants of African culture, such as the Ojás. Because it is more exaggerated, it combines with more neutral or plain clothes, which do not steal the attention of the beautiful turban.

Each one with its unique characteristics, this variety of turbans only proves the versatility of the piece, which can be adapted to different tastes.
