Do you have to make Pooni to tie this style? 

[S1ngh]

I think the triangle daastar is out our traditional head wear. 
SGPC is also messed up as they do not allow to allow Hazoori ragis to do kirtan in darbar sahib without triangle/boat turban style. They do not allow gool daastar (except few cases).

gol dastar is the best type

really pointy paghs look silly

Anyone know what material these turbans are made of ? 

[MokhamSingh]

Full voile is good for this style. Rubia voile tends to be a  much thicker and heavier material.

F 74 Amritsari mal mal is also very soft and light....

Most Sikhs in the UK tie the Kenyan style pagh because most turban-wearing Sikhs in the UK are tarkhans whose family roots go back to Kenya (or other parts of East Africa).

Note that tarkhans make up a majority of turban-wearing Sikhs in the UK even though in the general Sikh population (turban wearers and monay), tarkhans are heavily outnumbered by jatts. This just illustrates how pathetic jatts are. (Note: I am jatt.) 

The few young men from non-tarkhan backgrounds who do wear paghs tend to also wear the Kenyan style. This is because they'd rather fit in with their young peers who also wear paghs (most of whom are tarkhans wearing the Kenyan style) than look like the two or three jatt uncles at the gurdwara who wear Punjabi style paghs. (Examples: Jassi Sidhu, Jay Singh Sohal, etc.)

Most of them have paghs with goatee beards or chin strap beards   very rare to see one with a full dhari.

Most popular style of dastar in uk among young singhs now is dhumalla, gol dastar

Yes, this is true.

But the thread poses a question about UK paghs in general, not just paghs worn by proper singhs.

 

Anyway, the fact that most young Singhs in the UK wear a dumalla (as opposed to a nok wali pagh like the older generation) just shows how little the older generation did to pass on Sikhi to the next generation.

Many young singhs in the UK got into sikhi on their own and therefore adopted the dumalla (perhaps the style most closely associated with traditional sikhi).

Things are changing here man  you can see lots of young singhs in the uk these days.  Older generation knew very little about sikhi themselves and knew more about superstions. Its thanks to people like bhai jagraj singh that so many people got into sikhi 

As for paghs, older generations mostly wear the patiala style pagh while younger singhs wear dhumalla, which these days is the most popular style here.

Boys from families that are from Kenya still wear Kenyan style mostly, but majority of then trim their dharis  in fact it's rare to see one with a full dhari, which defeats the whole purpose!
