Step-By-Step: 3 Ways To Tie The Urban Turban!!!

Thanks to celebrity stylists JUNE AMBROSE turban head wraps also known as the “Urban Turban” will be everything this summer.

The haute hair trend has been dubbed as June’s signature look, but everyone from natural beauty SOLANGE to model mogul IMAN has been spotted adoring their own unique versions of the laid back look.

Which is very easy to do considering the endless fabric, print, and color options there is to choose from, along with the numerous ways in which you can tie your head wrap.

Check out our Step-By-Step guide as Juicy show’s you three different ways to tie your Urban Turban this summer:

Things You Need

Large Scarf (or large fabric), $10, hm.com

Signature Look

Step 1: Pull two diagonal ends of your scarf together to form a triangle (you should have 3 ends.)

Step 2: Place the scarf over the nape of your head so that one end drapes over your face, and the other two ends are arms length.

Step 3: Pull the two arms length ends to the middle of your forehead and tie together, leaving the third piece still draped under. Make sure you have a tight and secure knot (but not too tight).

Step 4: Pull the third piece back from your face and tie the other two pieces together on top of that piece.

Step 5: Then tie the two pieces together again.

Step 6: With the remaining fabric ends, tuck them back into the original knot, making sure it’s securely tucked.  BOOM! Welcome to  Juniverse!

The Laid Back Look

Step 1: Repeat steps 1-3 from The Signature Look.

Step 2: Twist all 3 ends together and then create a tight bun.

Step 3: Tuck the loose ends securely underneath the bun.

Step 4: Once secured tightly play with your bun to make it as big or small as you want, but take it from us, the bigger the better!

The Au Natural Look

Step 1: Repeat steps 1-3 from the previous looks.

Step 2: Take the draped piece from your face and tuck underneath the knot of the other two ends (the piece should no longer be visible before moving on to the next step).

Step 3: Keep pulling the remaining two ends tightly to create the shape you desire.

Step 4: Now pull the two ends to the back of your head, tie a knot, and bring the remaining fabric to the front, tucking them into the sides of the turban so no fabric is showing. And voila! 

Remember make each style your own by adding your own spin on the trend. Nothing is off limits!
