how to

measure your head for the right size

The below illustration shows how to measure your head before purchasing the turban.

Measure your head along the hairline from your forehead to ears and nape of the neck. You can include or exclude the ears depending on your personal preference.

how to - wear the turban

We could write lengthy notes, step by step guides that you may never read, illustrations of someone with perfect curls (there is nothing called "Perfect curls")

or we could just leave a link to our Youtube of "How-to" so you get an idea ;)

I know you appreciate this! ;)

We also have a highlights section on our Instagram on how-to wear the turban.

how to choose the right turban size for your head

Damn Gina turbans come in two sizes - Medium and Large. There is elastic at the back of the turban, making it adjustable for various head sizes.

There is no elastic in the front of the turban.

The medium measures about 52 CMS relaxed and can stretch up to 56 CMS. This size works on most heads with a measurement of fewer than 56 CMS.

The large turban measures 56 CMS relaxed and can stretch up to 60 CMS and fits most heads from 57 CMS to 60 CMS.

The exceptions for the above measurements

If you have very long (below bra strap) and super thick hair OR hairstyles like box braids, dreadlocks, etc., we recommend going for the large even for head sizes less than 56 CMS. This allows more room for your hair.

common questions

"the turban is too big for me - even though I measured my head."

We always ask you to measure your head before making the purchase. However, if you still feel the turban is too big for you - there can be a few reasons for it.

You have fine hair that is not filling the extra fabric in the crown hair, making the turban slip below.
You have short hair
you may have a smaller forehead (our turbans don't have an elastic in the front as the elastics at the front can make it uncomfy)
you prefer a snug fit

Below are a few video links on how to make the turban work for you ;)

"my crown area is flat after removing the turban."

This can happen as soon as you remove the turban and is temporary. We suggest you let your hair fall naturally for the first 10 minutes and then flip your head in front and give a good shake at the roots. This usually helps with the volume.

Another reason the crown flattens is when you have short or fine hair, and the fabric weighs on your crown, making it flat. We suggest making multiple small sections of your hair and tying them in loose knots all over - similar to knots before popping the turban on. This helps with keeping the volume for short and fine hair.

Please note: This is just a recommendation. The final decision is solely yours. If you still have questions, you can contact us at attention@damngina.com.au, and we can help you further.

wash and care for your silk goodies

All our products are dyed with non-toxic dyes. The better you care for silk, the longer it lasts.

Silk is dry cleanable

You can hand-wash silk in cold water.

Always wash the colours separately from the whites. Some strong colours may bleed the first time. Please hand-wash them in cold water separately the first time.

Machine Wash

Use a delicates bag and do a delicate cold water cycle for all your silk garments. Wash colours separately from the whites.

Do not bleach and use a mild detergent.

Love it!

I ordered the med, with a 57cm head measurement and have plenty of space. Comfortable, doesnt slide off at night and its making styling my curls for days way easier!

Olive Turban - beautiful but not roomy enough

The Olive turban looks beautiful but unfortunately not roomy enough for all my curls . I ordered size large but couldn’t fit all my hair into the turban . Gina was very helpful and friendly in assisting with a refund . If she designs a roomier turban I’d love to purchase one . Thanks Gina :)

Nourishing

I really love this hair oil. I have thick, wavy hair with a fine texture - highness is amazing as it’s not too heavy and isn’t greasy - it absorbs into the hair instead of sitting on top of it and makes my hair soft and easy to manage. I love to use it after I’ve washed it but I’ve also tried it in between washes to tame frizz which does the trick. It’s also not heavily fragranced if that’s a concern! Definitely recommend.

Love it

Love this product. It has to be the best product I have ever used for my curly hair.

Silk Turban - great for my curly hair

Normally when I sleep, I wake up with flat curls and a lot of knots. Last night I slept with my turban on and woke up with great curls and no knots! I bought the medium and it was a little large as it kept falling down my forehead, but happy to say that it didn’t fall off my head during the night. Overall great product and hopefully smaller sizes are released soon! :)
