Step-by-Step Guide to Tying a Durag
1.Preparation: First, you need to prepare your durag. Spread it out flat and check for wrinkles or uneven places. If there are any, gently smooth them out. Make sure the durag is clean and tidy, without stains, so that it will be more comfortable and more beautiful to wear.
2.Place the durag: Pick up the durag and place it horizontally on the top of your head, with the top of the durag in the center of the top of your head. The ends of the durag should fall naturally on your forehead and back of your head. Note that the front of the durag (usually the side with the pattern or color you want to show) should be facing up.
3.Secure the forehead: Pull the front of the durag down to cover your forehead. Make sure it fits your forehead, not too tight or too loose. Generally, it should be slightly above the eyebrows, so that it can be fixed without affecting your vision. Then, grab the straps at both ends of the durag with both hands.
4.Cross the straps: Pull the strap held in your left hand from the top of your head to the right, and pull the strap held in your right hand from the top of your head to the left, so that the two straps cross at the top of your head. In this step, adjust the position of the straps so that they cross evenly and symmetrically, and look more neat.
5.Wrap around the back of your head: After crossing, continue to wrap the two straps around the back of your head. During the wrapping process, keep the straps moderately tight. Too tight may make you feel uncomfortable, and too loose will not be able to fix the durag. Let the straps wrap around the contours of both sides of the head.
6.Fasten the straps: Tie a knot between the two straps at the back of your head. You can start with a simple slipknot to secure the durag. If you want a more secure fit, you can tie a double knot. When tying the knot, pay attention to adjusting the length of the straps so that the knot is in the middle of the back of your head, and there is no strap that is too long or too short to affect the overall appearance.
7.Fix the durag: Finally, check the durag as a whole. Gently smooth the wrinkles on the surface of the durag with your hands, and adjust its position on the forehead, top of the head and back of the head to make it fit the contours of the head and present a natural and .smooth shape. If there are extra straps, you can tuck them between the durag and the head, or wrap them around the knot according to your personal preference to create a unique look.
