Fifty:
A Fifty is a small band of cloth worn on the forehead. Once the turban is tied, this piece of cloth becomes visible in the form of a triangle which helps align the turban symmetrically. It also keeps the hair bun tightly in place and protects the turban from oiled hair. The origin of Fifty traces back to the British rule in India, when the Sikhs in the British army were permitted to wear their turbans. They started the trend of wearing a mini turban (2.5 meters long) below the main turban (5 meters long) and as the mini turban was 50% of the cloth size of the main turban hence it was named Fifty. In today’s time, Sikhs wear a small band of cloth to cover their forehead only, instead of covering their head with the mini turban.

Thata:
A Thata or Thada is a small band of cloth worn by Sikh men around their beards to hold them in place. It is usually worn in the morning for 20-30 mins to set the beard for the entire day.

Salai or Baaj:
Baaj is a 10 cm long hairpin used to secure loose or short dreads from popping out of the turban and also, to straighten the drapes (Ladh) of the turban. The pin is then inserted into the drapes, kept concealed and is taken out only if there’s a need to fix up the turban.
