Thatha

Thatha or Thathi is a type of cloth used by some Sikhs to fix their beards after spraying them with Taft, Fixo, Swift, etc. Many orthodox Sikhs prefer to keep an open beard as a sign of their dignity and respect, but some Western-minded and modern Sikhs prefer tying beards for fashion and appearance. This consists of spraying the beard with hair spray or beard spray, and a thathi is tied after that on the chin to set the beard properly. This process takes 30 minutes to an hour to fix properly.
