The third way. How to tie a turban from two scarves
As in the case of long hair, you can build a turban of two scarves, the same in length, but different in pattern. Before starting hoisting on the head, the products must be tied together, making a small knot. Cover your head with a handkerchief. The ends in this case remain not in front, but in the back. Cross the shawls at the back of the head and repeat the rest of the steps, as in the first and second cases.
