Tying A Dastaar

[Guest Mr Singh]

So I have been tying a Dastaar for over a year but I still don't feel I can tie one properly. I used to tie a dumalla and it would hurt my forehead and my ears went all red by the evening. Recently I started tying a gol dastaar. I first do a bunga which is all fine. Then I have a separate 2m cloth and rap it round for solidity. When I tie my dastaar I tie it 2 times over my forehead otherwise it becomes loose with only 1, and when covering the top I do it before my other larhs but It doesn't look right from the back. I tried the covering off the top at the end but same thing happens. My problem is mainly from the back. It becomes like upside down ^ from the back and becomes loose sometimes. I don't know if I stretch the cloth properly - I hold it and stretch the bottom and then the top. When watching videos they just grab it and it somehow becomes solid. Any ideas on what I can do
