Unidentified Lifestyle by Maria Matiopoulou: It's a turban story

What do we know about turbans? Except the fact that they were all over Sex and the City 2. I'm a definitely a headwear fan as you can see in my photo,
but I don't think many people like hats and head accessories.

Information about turbans

Unconfirmed legend has it that one day thousands of years ago a man took a bath in a lovely oasis in the middle of the desert. After drying himself with a towel he decided to overcome the hot sun by wrapping the damp towel around his head to take advantage of the cool feeling it provided. The local people adopted this method of fighting the heat and to this day variations of this centuries old technique is still used.

Turbans can be decorated in a variety of ways. Often the fabric is dyed one color and bordered with a contrasting color. For more intricate designs, everyday turbans are block-printed or tie-dyed. Festive turbans are made of more expensive fabrics, such as silk, and even woven or stamped with gold thread.

Turban & Religion are also close to each other.People around the globe don't wear turbans because they're fashionable but because their religion dictates so.

The term "turban" also refers to a woman's hat that is similar in shape to a man's turban.
