Wahe Guru. The damala is the turban for active combat. It closes off your tenth gate with the padding of the extra turban on the top. It is protects your head from the blow of a sword. It gives you fearlessness for the possibility of death on the battle field.

If you are very strong and committed to your daily Rehit Maryada. You can try wearing the Damala. If you are just doing it to "Look cool". Better to wear tha normal turban which keeps you more rooted to the earth.
