Allahu Akbar.. I told em don't curse me.

So I am obsessed with the whole turban trend right now. It started off with my gorgeous little sister throwing bandannas in her hair and looking so cute that I thought I should get involved. I ended up looking like 2Pac, yea- not so cute. So I decided to do a fabric store run and make my own bandanna, and thennnnnnnnnnn was completely inspired by the new Frank Ocean "Bad Religion" song that my "bandanna" turned into a turban! And waaaaaalaaaaaa. THEEEEEE cutest ever and I don't look like 2Pac! Click clack BOOM! Wanna get the inside scoop?!

Take a trip to a fabric store and pick out a couple cute prints, or as you see in this pic, I decided to go with a really pretty turquoise color that matches my eyes. All you need is a yard! Like $2.99!

On the way home get excited and start picking out an outfit in your head to go with your new head piece.

Dink dink dink. Ok, not part of the steps, but I'm weird, fuck off.

SO! Lay out the fabric. More then likely you will have a square-ish shape. Fold into a triangle and start rolling long ways toward the point of the triangle.

Thin or thick depending on how big you would like your turban. In my picture I did about an inch and a half in width.

Turban done.

Nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... style your hair, preferably in light curls or waves.

Your turban should be a long rolled piece of fabric. Place the middle of your turban on your forehead and and take the ends underneath your hair at the back of your head. Bring back up to the forehead and tie. Then tuck underneath the thickness of the band. And BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

Allahu Akbar!
