Different religions, communities and nations have variations in their beliefs as far as clothing is concerned. A good example is the use of hair turbans in some of these. These are cloth wraps made of plain cotton and other mixtures of silk and polyester, and wool. They are used to cover heads of people. This usage is for all and there are no constraints in terms of sex and age.

Color does not matter for these fabrics though a high preference is centered on white, black and blue. Even with these, any person can choose another different one depending on his or her tastes and preferences. Besides, beliefs of different communities and religions are other determiner for these variations in use. This involves the way they are tied around the head as a symbolism of such.

Each of them has its own way of tying though there is existence of a general one. This one involves the use of both hands holding the entire fabric at the ends. While in this state, one needs to align it to get its center. One end of this fabric is then tied way round the temples to the back then to the forehead in circular motions.

The other one is done so in a similar manner. One of the very important things to note is that these turnings are done alternatively with some parts extended to cover the head top. With a foot size remaining in both arms, they are taken to the back of the head and tied in a basic strap.

Some of the excess materials remaining are then used to cover any opening which is visible. This is how it is done. At first it may be difficult but once the person follows these instructions and gets used to it, it becomes easier with time. This general way of wrapping is both for males and females, young and the old.

Muslims wear as a way of depicting the way of life led by their founder, Prophet Muhammad. It is believed; he used to put on these with black and white dresses during his time on earth. Even though this is common to then all, the other reasons vary from nation to nation and as per the faith of people wearing it.

The political class of Afghanistan and Columbia has a slightly different view on this. They believe it portrays one as a leader and their unique character and position in society. Other people perceived to have a little different idea are the Indian women. These ones see turbans as show of the persona in them. With all these it is very clear of the slight variations and deviation from the main component.

Another good example is the Sikh people. These ones have their own views regarding wearing hair turbans. Their beliefs are identification of them as warriors and keeping well their long hair since it is forbidden to have it shaved.
