Thanks Manpreet, we know all about this. The poster of that query apparently did not have a habit of keeping his/her head covered, which is why I suggested a cap. We moderators have to accept that not everyone is a pakka Sikh and the person in question wanted to know how to respect Guru in public while reciting gurbani, not about tying a turban or patka. In this instance, suggesting a cap seemed appropriate. Guru ang sang,
