Tying dastar without pulling hair..

So, I always suffered from this, I learnt to tie pagh myself so always struggled with style etc. My dastars usually look quite nice but I always end up tying them too tight. Not only do my hair get pulled but its also quite painful sometimes.

I am always trying to improve my pagh style so I figured i would share the best method I found of tying a typical pagh which is going to be much more stronger than the usual one.

First step is to purchase this or one that matches the colour of your pagh.

The back of it is a bit open so you can put a headbandand then tie the bandana so that no hair are visible from the back.

Then it is a simple matter of wapping the pagh from left to right and job done. Because the last step of pulling the first larr out from the back to cover the middle part is avoided, the strength of the pagh is much more that it would have been otherwise and the shape also remains pretty good.

I found that, two or three wraps above this bandana do the job really well.

I am posting this because, a lot of youngsters have trouble tying dastars and this is a very quick way of tying one. It takes me around 3-4 minutes to get a really nice looking dastar tied.

Any comments / suggestions, please reply..

I too have learnt myself.

Perhaps you could give some tips on suitable style and how it's done.

Also, I would like to know what the most popular length is, because I'm sure over here they keep a longer length turban compared to the singhs in UK. So, what length is more popular ?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
