I REMEMBER A
STORY ONCE TOLD BY GRANDMA ABOUT HOW WOMEN USED TO PUT ACTUAL EATING
PLATES ON THEIR HEAD JUST SO THAT THEY COULD PROPERLY WRAP A TURBAN
LOCALLY CALLED A "CHIDUKU",IT WAS SO UP THEIR HEAD LIKE A MOUNTAIN
SHAPE.
Nowadays am noticing the coming back of turbans among the young people
in the fashion world,most commonly used material is the African pride
the "CHITENGE", as it is usually referred to as
the material that stands for being truly rooted African. A chitenge turban can suit on any type of dress code depending only on how you style it
Most young people in our African society don’t know how to wear a
turban especially my sisters the ones from the well to do communities
"ba mwana mayadi" as most people my call them. But lets face the fact
even from the low income compounds there girls who can wrap a turban
because its a traditional thing and most girls will look at it as been
old fashioned style, or maybe their parents never took the need to share
and pass on the tradition of of wearing turbans.Tradition or
not a turban adds beauty to a woman’s sparkleness and if women never
knew this most men appreciate and respect a woman wearing a turban. I
for one wouldn’t mind ma woman putting on a beautifully styled turban
especially if she be meeting my mother or any elderly person because that’s
African respect *self opinion*.
So sistas never feel shy wearing a turban and remember to style it to
your own taste, be unique and smart. Rock that chitenge turban and
sparkle as a proud lady rooted in the rich African pride
AND for those who don’t know how to wrap a turban I have added some pictures
to guide you on how to wrap a turban and the different styles you can choose from.Hope the information helps you in any way possible so that you are not left out because honestly its so back in fashion to wear one.
