How to Avoid Being Made Fun of for Wearing a Turban

Turbans are religious headdresses that the devout people of many religions wear. In some places, the youth culture sees the turban as a chance to express themselves through fashion and a cool sensibility, making the turban something that's easy to avoid being mocked about.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Make the turban just something on your head, where the rest of your appearance is concerned, by staying up to date with style and fashion. Get a good pair of jeans, a solid pair of boots or skate shoes and some shades to show people that the turban is something cool people also wear.

2. Choose a turban that suits you and learn to tie it in a few different ways so people around you come to see the turban as a fashion accessory (even if it's much more than that to you). Avoid wearing ugly colors and using your grandfather's preferred method to tie the turban.

3. Educate people about the turban whenever there's an opportunity and take strange looks or even giggles as a good time to stop someone to explain. Talk about the turban with a smile and avoid falling into the trap of responding too angrily to a small joke that comes from misunderstanding.

4. Respond to people who mistreat you or are generally out of line about the turban as you would treat someone who makes a comment regarding any other aspect of your appearance or life. Go on the offense by telling the person what you think about them and don't feel embarrassed about what you're saying or how you look. Try to avoid going too far in your response by staying cool but firm.
