Thatta (Beard Band) Cotton

Thatha or Thathi (Beard Band)

Thatha, commonly referred to as the Beard Band, is an essential accessory used by some Sikhs to maintain and groom their beards. This piece of cloth, tied under the chin, plays a significant role in ensuring that the beard remains neat and presentable throughout the day.

The Beard Band is typically made from soft, breathable cloth to ensure comfort during prolonged use. The cloth is chosen for its ability to hold the beard in place without causing irritation or discomfort. The design of the Thatha is simple yet effective, allowing it to be easily tied around the chin and secured in place.

The process of using a Thatha involves several steps to ensure that the beard is neatly fixed. Firstly, the beard is groomed using a hair fixer or hair spray, which helps in setting the beard in the desired shape. Following this, the beard may be tied with a rubber band or secured with a beard pin to maintain its form. Finally, the Thatha or Thathi is tied around the chin, covering the beard and holding it in place.
