Why turbans slip

Most tutorials start with the scarf already in hand. The hold is decided underneath: where the bun sits, what shapes it, and how firmly the cap is closed. Get the prep right and the pins have something firm to hold.

Lesson 1: the prep

  1. Step 1

    A low bun

    Set to sit just behind the turban, with any extra length wrapped in.

  2. Step 2

    Set the flyaways

    Hairspray, combed straight back, so every hair stays in.

  3. Step 3

    Shape with wadding

    Layered over the bun until the shape is smooth.

  4. Step 4

    The under cap

    Deep enough to hold every hair, eased on without touching the makeup.

  5. Step 5

    Pinned and closed

    Loose hairs tucked in, corners pinned, ready for the scarf.

You might spend some extra time working around your bun to achieve this look, but it will mean you will get the best looking hijab because you've done the right amount of prep.

Lesson 2: the round turban

  1. Step 1

    Anchor the shape

    Two pins set the round shape before the first pleat.

  2. Step 2

    Pleat the front

    Three pleats. Where you pin sets their size.

  3. Step 3

    Re-anchor each pleat

    Pin each one back to the head, then secure the ends.

  4. Step 4

    Finish the back

    Pleat, twist and tuck the short side so every corner is tidy.

Smooth, full and beautifully finished.

Rewa's standard for every look. The cap holds all the hair and wadding, so nothing shows at the back or through the scarf.

Pleats take patience. Take your time pinning, and start again when it feels tough.

You grab your material in the direction it wishes to go in. Remember we work with the fabric.

No. Rewa starts from the beginning. Pleats take practice, so give yourself time to repeat them.

Rewa styles a client, so you see each step from the stylist's side. To style your own, follow along in a mirror and pause as often as you need.

What will I need?

A scarf, a cotton under cap, wadding, hair ties, pins and hairspray.
