Today my friend, Dante, and I armed with our cameras explored the city and took pictures. I also experimented for the 1st time wearing a turban. I had bought this beautiful printed scarf from a vendor on 125th in Harlem. I knew when I bought it that I would be using it for my hair, but I just wasn’t sure how I was going to apply it. So this morning I watched two videos on YouTube and from there I was able to concoct my own way of styling a turban. Although I think turbans look great on others, I was under the impression that I would look like Ali Baba or Aunt Jemima. What do you think?
This is my wonderful friend and photographer, Dante, who took the amazing shots of me in the city. I really don’t know how the bloggers do it when they don’t have a boo thang to shoot pictures of them. This is why you rarely see style shots of myself on this blog. I don’t have anyone to take personal style pictures of me. But today I was lucky. Yahoo!!
In addition to the scarf I wore on my head, I wore an H&M Trench, Old Navy Chambray Top, Gap Jeans and Top Shop Boots.
Below are the two videos I watched that were very helpful in teaching me how to tie my scarf. I took a little bit away from each to figure out what worked for the scarf size and my hair thickness.
Do you like the turban / scarf look in natural hair? Have you tried it before?

Love the turban. Great for “I don’t really wanna do my hair days” LOL
I was so afraid to do it. I thought someone would hand me a broom and tell me to “Get to work!” But it is perfect for bad hair days!
I’ve never tried the turban look but I want to. Love the scarf you chose for yours!
I was like you. I was scared to try the look too. But it was either go out looking like Pat from SNL or do something about it. 🙂
Thanks! I was like you. I was scared to try the look too. But it was either go out looking like Pat from SNL or do something about it. 🙂
