By using the The Turbanizer App, you no longer need to wonder what you would look like with a turban on. Created to celebrate World Turban Day, the app is an easy-to-use way to visualize over 50 turban designs on your family, friends and colleagues through a mobile device. The designs range from silly to classic, along with some creative ones including a Facebook turban.
Though some may say it is controversial and potentially racist, the Turbanizer website disagrees, explaining how racism is the fear of the unknown and, "people that do not wear a turban need to connect with the turban to understand it. Turbanizer.com helps by allowing anyone in the world to visualize themselves in a turban."
And, once you are done being turbanized, it is easy to share your fun picture via social media.
