A shemagh, also known as a keffiyeh or ghutra, is a traditional Middle Eastern headdress. It is a large, square scarf, typically made of cotton or wool. Shemaghs are often worn by men to protect their heads and necks from the sun, sand, and wind. They can also be used as a makeshift towel, blanket, or bandage.
There are many different ways to tie a shemagh. One popular method is the “classic” wrap. To do this, fold the shemagh in half diagonally to form a triangle. Place the center of the triangle on the back of your head, with the point hanging down your back. Bring the two ends of the shemagh around your neck and cross them in front. Bring the ends back around your head and tie them in a knot at the nape of your neck. The point of the triangle should now be hanging down your back.
