At my Bar Mitzvah a Persian cousin of mine and my grandfather came up to me and they taught me that many or most Persians have the custom of wrapping eight times. You may have seen Persians doing it. Otherwise, I can't help you. | |

But really, I was taught to wrap it around my arm as many times as one needs to get the right length. I personally wrap it 7 times (including the the wrap that goes from the bicep to the fore arm, But in my community people do it any were between 5-8 times depending on their arm and strap length. | |
