A Sikh turban can be tied in many different ways depending on what the wearer prefers. There are many different ways to wear it depending, usually, on things like age, gender, or activities. While there are many different ways to tie it, a couple of things will remain the same. The hair will always be covered completely and there will usually be a point formed in the front.
Many Sikh's wear a metal piece either under or above the cloth depending on the style. These are a traditional piece that was used to protect the head from weapons during battle. It is a piece which is now used as a sort of decoration.
Most of the turbans worn require the use of two large lengths of cloth about six meters each. The first one is used as a base to cover the hair and metal. The second one is wrapped around that one and forms the general shape of the turban. These can vary in color and pattern depending on who is wearing it.

One of the most common turbans you will see is made by using a cloth which has been cut in half and sewn together lengthwise to create a cloth which is twice as wide and only about three meters long. This cloth can then be tied using fewer wraps and creates an almost flat top with thick sides and forms the traditional point at the front center. This is the style which is worn by most men.
The style of turban worn by many Nihang Sikhs is known as the worrier style because it was traditionally used for going into battle. This style requires the metal piece to be worn on the outside, at the front where the peak is formed. It has a very decorative appearance as well as being traditional.
For a more casual use a turban can easily be made using a single length of cloth to wrap around the hair so it is completely covered. This is very common for wearing around the house or for playing sports. They are also worn by children who tend to be far more active and don't require a larger version until they are much older.
There are many women who also wish to cover their hair in the name of faith and have created more feminine styles in order to do so. While they still have the same basic appearance as the male version, with the front forming a peak, the rest tends to form a much rounder appearance. Females who choose to express their faith will choose these styles over the male version.
The different Sikh turban styles have very little to do with the religion. They mostly are chosen depending on the day to day activities of the person wearing them. They can use different colors and styles depending on personal preference of whoever is wearing it.
