How to Tie a “Turban”

53 Comments

Since a few of you asked so nicely (and since my Flip was wasting away on top of my desk), I present you with a video tutorial. Please keep a few things in mind:

I feel extremely weird talking to no one
I chuff at my own jokes…kinda like D.L. Hughley, but not as boisterous
if you need a refresher on who Catherine Baba is, go here

Turban Tying 101…or 102…or 103 depending on whose blogs you read…

Any questions?

Love it. I do it in a similar way but my boyfriend says it makes my head look flat at the back? Maybe I should ignore him and wear it anyways?

Did you snort Taaaaaaaaaang?

Now that I’m thinking about it, I think snorting Tang would be hella unpleasant.

PS – You’re so adorable.

Awwww shucks…

Sing

OMG! You are so right about DL Hughley laughing at his own jokes! I can’t wait to see this vid tutorial when I get home…blasted job blocks such things.

That ish used to get on my nerves!!! Always thinking he’s hilarious…but I guess that doesn’t reflect well on me…then again, I laugh when I’m nervous, so maybe not.

I’m rambling.

I laugh when I’m nervous or distraught. It’s a defense mechanism. Some of the illest ish can be going down and I will start laughing and talking really fast at the same time.

It’s weird…now I’m rambling. I heart you!

Oh my gosh, I can’t decide which made me smile more, the video or these comments! Alicia, you are fabulous. Tessa, I can’t wait to see it. Ellie D, you are hilarious.

Not sure if I can pull off the turban or the turband. I’ll give it a shot.

Here’s some trivia: I’VE NEVER HAD TANG! I know. My mom is a dental hygienist & I was never allowed to have “sugar drinks”. Total deprivation.

http://innyvinny.com Alicia

This is heresy! Go get Tang. Then you and the babes should all drink it. 2 glasses of it. After that, tell me what happened for the rest of the day. LOL =P

What if you have a really funny-shaped somalian head and scarves tend to just sliiiide off the back of it. Please advise.

Bobby pins. All day.

Either that or angle it up when you bring it to the front instead of around.

LOL.

This is the first “turband” tutorial I’ve watched, and now you’ve got me desperate to try it out! And for what it’s worth, you are 1000 times more comfortable in front of a video camera than I would ever be!

is it really bad, sad and stalkery that i watched your tutorial twice just to hear the sound of your voice and laugh when you rolled your eyes when the turban-d was too tight for you to tuck the frilly bits in? if it is then i’m sorry i just love you alot.

Love you back, twinsie. And no, that is nothing short of what I would call an inquisitive mind (meaning I do that shit too).

Awesome tutorial! Now I want find some nice scarves so I can try. There are so many times I wish I had a nice scarf instead of the raggedy ones I sleep in so I can tie it around my head on those days I don’t feel like doing my hair, when my hair isn’t looking like I want it to, or when I just want something different.
