erm wa styl Dastaar do u tie???

becoz iss understable for it 2 be loose if its folded, but if your tieing a Dhumalla den it shud stay!!!!

its just round, gol dastaar

Also, what kind of kapra are you using? it's harder to start out with softer material if your hand isn't used to tying yet.

dunno it is a soft material, called rubia or something??

also, tie a small cloth or a small keski underneath, cloth tends to slip off from bare hair

yeah i do tie a keski but tht always moves anyway coz my hair is slippery (not from oil lol)

u may be tieing your joora too far back, tie slightly forward, have it exactly on ur dasam duar, also try tieing a boonga underneath.

i always do the joora at the front of my head, havent tried a boonga coz im scared its gonna rip my kesh out n im gonna go bald from the front lol i bin told it hurts like crazyyyy aswell

msot of the time it depends on how well u have tied your keski , because then your dastaar that is going over the keski is going to folow the shape of the keski, so... if your keski is mashed or out of shape most of the time so will be your dastaar over your keski.

yeah my keski is usually really dodgy, its not big enough and i cant get another one

the problem is prob somethng to do with my keski right? i always tie it majorly tight but it goes really loose again after abt 5 mins. and wont stay put, gradually gets higher n higher.

the edge is never even aswell, like how do you get the first larh to be symmetrical, i always look like ive got one eyebrow raised when its higher on one side n goes really low on the other,.

how long did it take everyone here to tie a dastaar properly without help?? (so its accetable n neat enough to wear in public)

^lol i have the exact same problem!! why does it sliiip? my keski is always the problem and it takes me aaaags to get it right and by then i get really annoyed and fed up...i've been watching videos and following them but it just dont seem to work?

Don't use RUBIA. Use FULL VAIL instead.

Desi method: sprinkle some water on the dastar before you start tying. It should help.

Happy Dastar Sa-jaa-ying :lol:

fatehjee,

try tying your keskhi so it stays secure on your head, not tight though.

Get the end of the keskhi material and you could maybe tie a knot at the back to keep that bit secure and then carry on tying ur keskhi like a normal keskhi , that will help keep it secure if your hair is too slippery(basically you will have no larr at the back from keskhi), but it can leave a bit of a bump where you tied that knot at the back, shouldn't be too much.....does it make sense?

1. Rubia is nice kapra...slightly thicker than mal mal, it's better to use if you're still practicing.

2. If you tie your bunga in such a way, you won't go bald. Trust me :lol: It's only when you tie it extremely tight that it hurts and pulls out your hair. There's a middleground between loose and unbearably tight - once you find that, a bunga's not so bad :|

Yeah, it's your keski. Your dastar won't stay unless your keski is solid. The easiest thing to do is bring your kes forward, wrap it into your keski, and then tie it. This will keep it on your head for longer hahaha....if you need to get longer kapra...depending on how long your kes is. If you need kapra and can't get any, let me know nnd i'll mail you some :lol: .

The reason your larh isnt symmetrical is because you're using your dominant hand to tie it, so it's always, unless you're very careful, going to be slightly uneven. Because I'm left handed, my bunga always tilts slightly to one side (leaning tower of Tanu! hahahah!!)....when you're doing your first larh just pay attention to it and try to make it straight. But it doesn't really matter - the most important thing is that it stays on!!!

Umm it takes me about 7 minutes, but my dastar is never neat!
