DIY Your Own TurBAND

As a self-proclaimed expert in the field of man repelling, I thought it useful to start including photo-heavy tutorials that will document the exciting prospect of DIYing your very own sartorial cock blocks. This week, we’ll start with the TURBAND. Sure, you can buy one (cue: Pixie Market, The Nasty Gal) but think of it like this: when you’re buying say… a salad for lunch, don’t you prefer owning the power to include your favorite ingredients and to make sure it is exactly what you want? No surprise craisins.

Yeah, so turband. DIY.

Before we start I’ll just say, this DIY took place in the comfort of my own bedroom. In real life, people don’t DIY while overlooking the High Line and wearing sequined mini dresses and cat eye sunnies. I’m trying to bring an element of realness to your computer screen. NOW…

Step 1: Locate a square scarf. I stole mine from my mom. She is fancy so it is Hermes. 
Step 2: Take opposite corners from said scarf and fold them together. This should leave you with a triangle shaped piece o’fabric. If you want, you can tie it around your head and pretend you’re a female extra in Fiddler on The Roof. “Match maker, match maker make me a match. Find me a find, catch me a catch.” Anyone? Anyone? K, bye.
Step 3: Keep folding.

Step 4: Tie the folded scarf around your head and pretend you’re a ninja. This is also an optional step though highly recommended.

Step 5: Tie the folded scarf around your head so that you have bunny ears. Knot it once.
Step 6: Knot it again and start laughing because you’re only two steps away from anti-mating! 
Step 7: Take the bunny ears you’ve created and bring them toward the back of your head. Knot again.

Step 8: Put on patent leather booties, pose like a douche bag and voila, male genital deterring continues.
