Hijab Tutorial

The hijab is an important part of a Muslim woman's modesty. The Islamic dress code requires women to cover the entire body except the hands and face with loose clothing. The term hijab is frequently used to refer to the head covering, which ensures that the hair is covered in front of male non-relatives. The steps below will guide you on which one you might like to choose. Many Muslim women have put up tutorials for hijab styles, but be aware that a basic requirement of a hijab is not to draw attention. You'll learn what hijab styles and products are available when you go looking, and learn what to do with hijabs that require tying, folding, wrapping or pinning.

Choose your hijab. Go to a store that sells Muslim clothing and look at their hijab selection. Some hijabs consist of a single piece of fabric that may be square, oblong, or triangular. These are often wrapped and pinned or tied to hold them in place. Others consist of tubes of fabric that slip over the head, and these come in one-piece and two-piece styles. The tube style is often easier for beginners, as they don't require pinning. Find a hijab that matches your outfit, or in a neutral color. Avoid wearing excessively bold colours and designs that stand out. Hijabs made of natural fibers like silk, or cotton are often more comfortable, as these fabrics "breathe." These are tutorial for wearing a Basic Hijab:
- Begin by placing your underscarf on your head. The three main types of underscarves are each worn differently. Wear a cap underscarf like a bonnet. Place the rim on your forehead below the hairline. Pull the cap over your tied-up hair. Tilt it so that your ears are covered. Tie the underscarf firmly at the bottom near the nape of your neck. The tube underscarf is a comfortable option for women with long hair. Pull the tube onto your hair starting from the back of your head. Adjust the scarf so that the edge reaches your forehead past the hairline. Make sure your ears and hair are tucked into the scarf. A full underscarf, also called a "ninja underscarf," is worn similar to a hood. It will completely cover your hair and neck, allowing you to be more creative and less meticulous when pinning your shayla.
- Adjust your shayla so that it is uneven with one side longer than the other. Drape the ends over your shoulders onto your front. If your scarf is thin, make sure to flatten it over your head as much as possible. To help hold things in place, you can use a safety pin to connect the sides of your shayla under your neck.
- Take the bottom edge of the long side of your shayla in your hand. Bring the edge towards your opposite shoulder, wrapping it underneath your chin. Wrap it loosely around the opposite side of your head and then pin it in place. The end can be thrown loose over either side of your shoulder or pinned close.
- Add more layers if you'd like. If you plan on adding another layer, wrap your first shayla tighter. You can mix and match colors and fabrics as a way to vary your wardrobe. Minimize your layers during the summer or if you live in a warm climate, especially if you have a lot of hair. Even light, breathable fabric can make you feel too hot when layered.
