wahiguru ji ka khalsa, wahiguru ji ki fateh

EVERYONE, i need your help more than anything right now.

Amrit sanchar is taking place at the end of this month and I want my dastar to look neat!

I have been wearing it at home for the past 2 months but i dont understand why it is not getting neat?

Mum can't really help because doesnt wear one herself but bless her for trying to help me!

I watch the womens turban #1 on sikhnet everytime i tie it and admitedly is different every day but no where near as neat.

It MUST be neat I know some people going to say its not about looks, etc BUT in terms of my family acceptance - IT IS! I want to make them proud and also, nice dastars are an inspiration to other people (like they were for me!)

pleeeeese what is the secret to tying it neat pray.gif

bhen .. what kind of dastaar material are u using ? it sometimes depends on the type of fabric .. if its nice/stretchy/soft.. its easier to get smooth desirable 'lardh' around ur head..

..but overall it all takes practise.. just get the write type of material and go slowly, do not rush.. theres numerous bibian on this forum that tie a dastaar so maybe one can help you in ur area!

thanks for ur replies, i lookd on the matabhag website but only show the dumala style.

as i mentioned previously, i like the style similar to "womens turban 1" from this website:

http://www.sikhnet.com/s/tyingturbans

the material is soft and quite stretchy but has a rough look which i don't desire. (will need to look good with business dress in few years time - providing i qualify)

I reside in nottingham at the moments cos thats where im studying, but go home every weekend so don't really have time to find dastar wearing sisters.

are you supposed to straighten each arms length of material before wrapping it around ur head or would you fold it the one time and tie it straight on?

thankyou

use malmal cloth as its the easiest to handle..also wash it 1st and then tie it...what also helps is to dampen the turban very very slightly so that it comes tight..

ask some one for help..seriously thats thebest way out

guru rakaha..and its great news to hear that you have bowed before the guru to receive amrit

Get someone to help You! I tried go solo for 2 years without help and it never stayed on my head! Try your local Gurdwara and just ask a bibi...I learnt mostly at the Gurdwara and built up my own unique stlye! Which I have copyright laws on blush.gif

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
