"England Style" Turban

[Cisco_Singh]

Im not familiar with patiala shai styles or terms likem double pooni etc.. Basically the typical UK modified design based on Kenyan/East African dastaar involves strecthing out the material length ways, 1 person each side..keep the material stretched, fold in half length ways, fold in half again, then fold 1/3 from one side and the 2/3 on top. This can be amended depending on how wide you want your larrs.

You'll end up with 5/6 metre lenggh of flat folded material about 5 inches wide then you can start tying starting from left side of your head first lar goes over the top of your head,and you work your way down. Difficult to describe someone needs to make a youtube video

Requirement to tie an Englandi pagh is to have an Englandee accent. Whenever you tie it, you have to speak like the englandees. innit m8

Hi Everyone,

I'm interested in tying an "England style" turban. I was wondering:

How long of a piece of cloth is generally used?

Is it double patti or single?

Thanks.

Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically:

1) Get a 4-5M Mal-Mal Dastar (single, not double-patti). Wash it to get dye out and air dry

2) Starch and hang it out to air dry again.

3) Before tying, sprinkle some water over the whole thing, just enough to soften the Pagh for tying and follow the video from when he does the pooni

Ignore the ironing part. Starch makes the Pagh stiff so you can wear it for 1-2 months (as he says in the vid). You need 2 people for the pooni daily so if you have no partner then you're screwed without starch (like if you do early shift work, then you'd have to wake your family up at 3AM)
