Hijab. The very word conjures up images of gorgeous Muslim girls with pretty scarves tied around their head, hiding their hair from view. There’s a great deal to be said about this amazing practice that elevates a girl’s beauty by concealing something that societal standards deem necessary for her to look beautiful—her hair. So it’s quite natural and unsurprising that the hijab has made its way into mainstream fashion. More and more girls have started wearing the hijab fearlessly, and the fashion police has started to sit up and take notice. In fact, London now hosts a Modest Fashion Week every year that showcases hijabs and full body covering dresses in all their glory.
Since hijab has become such a big part of fashion, we obviously had to give you our rundown of the best ways to wear hijab. But before we jump into that, let’s look at why Muslim women wear hijab in the first place.
Why Do Muslim Women Wear Hijab?
Well, technically the word ‘hijab’ itself means ‘curtain’ or ‘hiding’ and refers to the Islamic principle of modesty. It does not in any way mean headscarf itself. It’s only in recent times that it has become synonymous with wearing the scarf to cover your hair. Women wear the hijab as a means of fulfilling the commandment of God to protect their modesty.Islam is a religion that is found in almost all parts of the world. Hence, the hijab is styled and worn in a myriad of ways by women depending on the weather, occasion, their facial structure, and the clothes that are predominantly worn in that region. So let’s look at the different styles of wearing hijab based on these factors.
How To Wear Hijab – Step By Step Techniques:
1. Simple Hijab Style
Before we look at any of the gorgeous hijab styles that we’ve compiled for you, let’s first check out the easiest way to wrap your hijab.
How To Wear A Hijab In A Simple Style
Drape a long rectangular scarf over your head with one side longer than the other.
Pin up both sides of the scarf together under your chin.
Flip the longer end of your scarf behind your opposite shoulder.
Flip the same end back to the front of the other shoulder.
Spread both the ends of your scarf so that they cover your chest.
Hijab Without A Pin
So you snoozed your alarm one too many times, and now you’re late for work/class. You can’t possibly be fiddling with ball pins, trying to tie your hijab perfectly, right? The solution—just take a long rectangular scarf and casually wrap it around your head once, throw one end of it over one shoulder, and you’re good to go!
Chest Covering Hijab Style
Have you ever bought a beautifully printed headscarf and sulked over the fact that you couldn’t properly show the print off after tying it into your hijab? If so, I totally feel your pain. Then this chest covering hijab style will work perfectly for you. Just spread one corner of it across your chest and tie the rest of it as your hijab to showcase its gorgeous print in all its glory.
Wrapping Hijab With Accessories On It
Add a bit of sparkle and shine to your boring old hijab with just some jewelry lying around on your dresser. A great way to do so is to insert some of your rings onto a loose corner of your hijab that’s hanging down one side of your face.Hey, just because you’re a modest dresser doesn’t mean you can’t hop onto that Coachella fashion train! Accessorize your hijab (in a nude shade, maybe?) with one of those rose gold headdresses that seem to inundate your Instagram feed every time this iconic music festival rolls around.
Side-Pinned Hijab Style
Side pinned hijab is probably one of the most common hijab styles around the world. And for a good reason too because it’s the easiest and most practical style for everyday wear. Simply wrap your scarf around your head and secure it on one side of your head with a ball pin and you’re done! Takes less than 2 minutes and doesn’t budge throughout the day.
Hijab To Show Earrings
You don’t have to give up on long dangly earrings just because you wear the hijab. Simply tie your hijab from slightly behind your earlobe and pop your earrings out to complete your look!
Another great way to show off your earrings while wearing a hijab is to go for a turban hijab style. Wrap your scarf all along your hairline and tie it at the nape of your neck (instead of under your chin). Drape one end of your scarf on your shoulder and put on your earrings to finish off your look.
