SHEMAGH
WRAP INSTRUCTIONS |
Step 1: Fold the shemagh into a triangle. Wrap
it around the back and over the top of your head, with the folded edge
across your forehead, making sure that about two-thirds of the material is
on your left. The right end ought to be long enough to come to your
chest.
|
|
|
Step 2: Use your left hand to pinch the
shemagh about 3 or 4 inches from the folded edge and let the edge hang
forward.
|
Step 3: Let go of the right end. Using your
left hand, hold the edge of the shemagh next to your left cheek and hold
it near your left cheekbone. After you do this, use your right hand to
pull the left end of the shemagh across your face, over your
nose.

Step 4: Continue to wrap the shemagh around
your face and head until you get it back over your left shoulder. Grip the
right tail and hold it to keep from pulling the shemagh off your head as
you wrap. Work your hands down toward the ends as you
wrap.
|
Step 5: Pull the shemagh as tight as needed to
feel comfortable. At the end of the process, take both ends and, somewhere
near your right temple, tie them in a knot. A square knot will secure the
shemagh adequately.

Note! Don't be discouraged if it takes a few
tries to get it comfortable. Tying the shemagh is as much an exercise in
patience as it is an art. When done correctly, the wrap covers your face
from sun, sand, and wind, making it effective protection in the summer as
well as warm winter headgear.
