How Do I Wear a Large Roomal?

  1. Head wrap: fold it into a triangle, place the long edge across your forehead and let the ends fall behind. Secure with a gentle wrap or tuck.
  2. Shoulder drape: fold into a triangle, place it over both shoulders and let the point fall down your back for a formal look.
  3. Neck scarf: fold into a long strip and loop it once around the neck for everyday wear.

Because the cloth is large, fold it neatly first and pin or tuck it if you want it to stay in place. More step-by-step styles are in how to tie a shemagh.

  3. Do not use bleach.
  4. Do not tumble dry.
  5. Lay it flat to air dry, away from direct harsh sunlight.
  6. Iron on low heat if needed.

How Do I Store It?

Fold it loosely and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging it by one corner for long periods, which can stretch the fabric.
