Tight Dastar? :(

Hey all, erm I got a problem, my dumalla is so loose you could just take it off like a hat , what's worse when I do Gatka or PE it is almost off my head and I get Singhs giving me advice but none of it seems to work, btw I do the knot at the back method. Somebody help me out, please.

[Goli Da Vair Sada]

mae sure ur tying a keski under neath. make sure its tight. for that to be tight the first larr needs to be tight. then when u ties ur dumalla amke sure u do first larr tight.

but wateva dastar u tie, if u tie a small keski underneath it makes it more tight and secure.

not entirely . u have to then tie the keski correctly otherwise ur dastar will still be loose. have you tried a different way of starting of rather than tying a not at the back. try covering your head with the begining of your kapra then start your dastar. have a secure lar first which just goes around the head then start your prper neat lar. your dastar can also be loose if your material is too thick. try getting used to a thin kapra its much easier to tie it tight with a thin one.

What material are you using? How many yards? I know tried different material, it made a huge difference in how it felt. Can anyone here advise which material usually fits the tightest?

MAL MAL!!!!!! lol its really light kapra n u can tie it proper tightly, the lar also come out neat automatically.

buh, if ur not using mal mal, wet ur dastaar lightly before you tie it, and after you have tied it, wet it again, lightly, this will keep it tight.

ooh, n u might need to change the knot at the back method, start of some otherway, possibly by knotting one end of the kapra around your joora.

lastly tie a bunga, it might help, aslong as you have a good keski, ur dastaar should come out fine

Mul Mul usually makes the Dastaar move up and up from ur matha during the day, try Rubia!!

[Akritghan]

I would advise you try mal mal and a bunga is a must for a tighter dastaar!

[2468]

mal mal is good actually wicked but theres another material abit lie rubiya but its thin. u can get some really nice materials from global enterprise from old southall

[Harsimrat Singh]

Mal Mal isn't very good for a tight Dastaar, as mentioned above, Rubia can be harder to tye with, but better if your Dastaar doesn't fall off rather than a perfect appearance lol

get some singhs to show you how to tie a tight dastar, or correct your way of doing it, if its always loose then ur doing something wrong, and need to change the way you tie it.........................................
