How many ways of binding use Pashtuns?

Having observed South Western provinces of Afg and southern Pashtunkhwa (Quetta and the surroundings), i can tell each tribe has a different style of binding their turbans, it may also differ due to its location. For instance, my tribe in Spin Boldak district of Kandahar has its signature style of turban while the same tribesmen in Maiwand, Zharrai and Panjwayi district will have somehow different style. Other tribes in Kandahar have their own styles, also distinguished by location. Southern Pashtunkhwa can be accounted for in a similar manner.

I personally like the Popalzai binding style in Kandahar. I just feel it has an elegant look.

Does exist some literature or at least photoalbum with the distinctions?
