Want an easy way to style your short hair or protective hairstyle with a headwrap? This style is simple, elegant, and versatile. The three knot turban mostly requires a large rectangular  headwrap, and you can create it in just a few easy steps! Follow this guide to achieve the perfect look.

Step-by-Step Guide for a Chic Headwrap Style

Materials Needed:

• A rectangular headwrap fabric (cotton, silk, or any fabric of your choice)

• A mirror (optional but helpful for adjusting)

• An afro pick (optional, for some volume if your hair is very short)

• Scrunchie if your hair is long. Simply tie your hair in a loose high bun at the top of your head).

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Position the Headwrap:

• Start by placing the center of the headwrap at the back of your head, making sure both ends are even on either side.

• Hold both ends of the headwrap at the front of your head, one in each hand.

2. First Knot:

• Cross the ends over each other at the front of your head.

• Tie a knot at the top of your forehead. Be sure not to tie it too tight—leave a little room so it feels comfortable. This is your first knot.

3. Second Knot:

• After the first knot, take the two ends again and tie a second knot, just below the first one.

• Leave a small gap between the first and second knot to give a layered, knotted effect.

4. Third Knot:

• Repeat the same process for the third knot.

• Tie it just below the second knot, maintaining a small gap between the second and third knots.

5. Tuck the Ends:

• After the third knot, you will likely have excess fabric. Look for an open pocket near the crown of your head where you can tuck the remaining fabric.

• Gently tuck the ends into this pocket, securing them neatly out of sight. Make sure there are no loose pieces sticking out.

6. Adjust and Final Touches:

• Adjust the knots and fabric to ensure everything is secure and sits comfortably. You can pull the fabric slightly to adjust the fit or smooth out any wrinkles.

• If you want a more voluminous look, you can pull out a bit of the fabric around the knots to create extra texture.

Tips for Perfecting Your Three Knot Turban:

• Knot Positioning: Play around with the height of your knots for different looks. Higher knots create more of a "crown" effect, while lower knots offer a more relaxed style.

• Add Accessories: Consider adding a brooch, flower, or decorative pin to the center of one of the knots for extra flair!

• Add some height and volume: If you’re rocking a bald cut or your hair is styled in cornrows, add a small WRAP BASE.
