‘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.
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
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.
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 Style For Gown
When you’ve got a gown that makes you look like a princess, you also need a hijab style that will add to your royal look. Go for a turban hijab style in the same color as your gown and accessorize it with a fancy necklace wrapped around the crown of your head to add a touch of sparkle and shine to your look.
Hijab Style For Saree
There’s a lot that can go wrong when picking a hijab style to go with your saree. So listen to me closely. Go for a headscarf that matches closely with your saree so that it doesn’t create too much contrast and take attention away from the saree’s beauty. Tie it up in a simple side pinned hijab style and accessorize it with a fancy headdress to finish off the traditional look.
Arabic Hijab Style
When it comes to Arabic hijab styles, the bigger, the better. Arab women really love to up the volume when it comes to their hijab styles. They usually pile up their hair in high updos and wrap big scarves several times around their head to make their hijab as big as possible.
Hijab Style For Glasses
When you wear glasses, wrapping your hijab too tightly around your head can really hurt around your ears. So your best bet is to cover your hair with a hijab tube cap and wrap your scarf loosely around your head to wear your glasses comfortably throughout the day.
Summer Hijab Style
Loose and breezy is the way to go when thinking of a hijab style for the summer. Take a big, flowy cotton scarf and casually drape it around your head to beat the sweltering heat. Make sure to not wrap the scarf tightly around your neck to avoid sweating too much.
