Hair accessories have always been a great way to add interest to your outfits. Hats, jewels and beaded headbands have been in and out of popularity. However, there has always been an accessory of the moment. This season, hair turbans have become the go-to piece to add flair to your hair and to amp up your personal style.

Hair turbans initially began as a scarf tied intricately around your head to replicate a turban like shape. Scarves can still be utilized in this manner; however retailers have begun to pre-tie the turbans. Hair turbans are available in many different styles. The two predominant styles are the full-head and the half-head. The full headed turban covers the entire head, whereas the half head just wraps around and covers the crown. If you have a collection of scarves that you would like to turn into a turban, there are excellent instructional videos available online. You can pick from many different colours and prints depending on your personal style. Utilizing a hair turban is a unique accessory that can add either a bohemian-style to your outfit, or a dark grungy vibe when paired with a tank and combat boots. Also, if you happen to have a bad hair day, this is a chic upgrade to wearing a baseball cap. Go turban this summer to elevate the look of your hair and to make your outfits pop.
