Video : How To Wear Hijab NEW! With Interviews
My sister (and former Haute Hijabi), Amani created a nice How To Wear Hijab video tutorial. The style that she did features three layers of scarves and pearl earrings to finish it off. The best thing about Amani’s “How To Wear Hijab” tutorial is that it includes video responses from other Muslim women who let you know exactly what they think about Amani’s unique hijab style. Click the link below to watch the video and let us know what you think.

A’salaamu alaikum. Masha’Allah, habibati, that was sooo pretty! I tend to stick with the one-piece long tieback khimars but after watching this I tried a version of it. Not the layers, mind you, but wrapping my hijab in the manner you did (pinning at back of neck, etc.) It is sooo comfy and pretty; I am sure my zawj will thank you too. One idea…for the middle layer of color you could try just using a headband (bought or homemade) or tube underscarf. It would cut down on some of the work, weight and heat in the summer. Just a though.
Wasalaam,
Sr. Jannah
How did she fix her first hijab? That one alone looked real nice.
Salaam Alaikum,
It looks very nice and elegant. I love the idea of mixing colors for a unique style. I don’t know if I could personally do this exact style for several reasons. One being that it’s way too many layers for comfort. I have a hard time hearing through an underscarf and scarf. Another is that it has too many pins and steps that if my toddler son was to grap and pull, it would take way to much time to piece myself together. This style seems best suited for a younger sister that is childless. Thanks for sharing your creativity for all. Salaams.
Thanks, I can’t wait to try this.
I always wondered how they do that style and kept it covering the ears. Great advice!! I must try this now!! :~D
It’s a bit too much for me (the layering) but nontheless I like it. Quite unique I find.
I loved it! Great for winter!
Assalamu alaikum,
Putting the earrings through the hijab and ears seems a little dangerous to me…if someone pulls the hijab it would also pull the earlobes. I agree with the one sister; the style is very pretty but probably best for those without small children that tug. Jazak Allah khair
Whew! I got hot, just looking that all those layers. Being pregnant, with the hot flashes..Goodness gracious! It was cute nonetheless.
Salaam,
I really don’t mind giving it a try..ill know if it suits me or not since ive never experimented with this style…so yeah i will give it a shot insha’allah!
Assalam Aleikum
Am sorry but I cant see any link, is it just me??
good job! but man, i can’t even do ONE layer, then i think about making wudu 3 more times during the day and i am ready for someone to come up with a feminine hijab hat.
very pretty mashAllah!! Plus your ears are still covered that’s awesome, I will try it out inshAllah :-)
ASA ladies,
I believe this is a great LOOK and a great tutorial. NOT sure if i’d wear it everyday…but for EID or a night out with my husband…it’s great!!
Salamu alaykum
first of all I wanted to thank you. Ich watched the video and I feel very inspired to try some different looks. I like your idea, too, but three layers are a little to much on my had. I think i would get head eache after a while. But I feel motivated to do my own experiments.
Wasallama
As Salaamu Alaykum, I love creativity and this was fashionable to watch and informative as well and give especially young muslim women ideas about covering and how beautiful it is. As a business owner
[akismet],i find it difficult to spend time wrapping extra layers as i travel and move around much. I would call the video”Fashion Education” Shukran Jaziylan, keep informing us!
Too many scarves for my personal tastes (and for my round face.) But I appreciate the video. I’m thinking of doing something using the first two layers though.
Salam, it is so pretty! I guess if to use lighter fabric the layering would be lighter.
I would like a video about the first layer too. The way it is comfy at the front, it that by making a little fold before to pin the side?
BarakAllahoufiki sister.
As sallamu alaikum sista! Masha’Allah, it looks beautiful!! Insha’Allah you can creat more ideas.
It’s a cute style but it’s too high maintenance for daily wear plus, I feel that all the layering will probably have you have trouble hearing! lol
That’s really cute. :) I agree that with babies it’s not very practical, but I can see myself wearing that once my kids get a couple of years older … I don’t think it’s strictly speaking a “young sisters” thing.
This is super chic but I wouldn’t try it cos my country is just too warm and this is super great if my country is winter wonderland!
It’s cute! This isn’t a look for a very active day : )
One thing- to create the illusion of multiple scarves without all the warmth you might be able to use a headband type underscarf for the second layer. A Black lace headband would be nice. The first layer should still leave the hijab looking nice & full.
salam alaik,
it’s really nice…but i tink it will look even nicer if she covers appropriately and loose the necklace. (re surah An Nur.)
The style looks nice however, it is too bulky. It gives the appearance of a “turkey neck” that is how much it is bluging underneath the chin. I must say however that sister Amani is soo cute…mashAllah.
if i go an wear a hijaabs i would do a hijaabs like this who cawerd’s up your ears en neck. couse thats what the koran says. anyway now i’m not waring a hijaabs. no bady supports me in that so i need some big support from allah subanwataalah. thank you for shwowing us how to use a hijaab
As Salaamu Alaykum!! Does anyone know how to get in contact with the sister who is in the process of running this website? I am very eager, Insha’Allah, to help out but have been unable to get in contact. Any help is much appreciated!!
Masha’allah It looks really cute but i personally wouldn’t wear it that way.
All of these layers doesn’t it effect your hearing? Cuz i even have that when i layer 2 small pashminas.
Yalla Salam :)
uh oh, very complicated, i like simple touch, this one is really too much :D.
Awesome idea! I do kind of the same thing sometimes, but just the first two layers. My first layer is an amira/2-piece scarf, so it stays over my ears, and then I wrap the second oblong/shayla around my bun and just leave it like that.
She is too cute:)
Dang that looks like alotta work! i usually go as far as only 2 layers! haha. Mashallah on your style, very modest and fun!
Except i don’t know about the earings thing..what if someone like came and tugged and ripped ur earlobe openn..ouch! but otherwise very nice!
now i have ideas on what to wear for school tomorrow. thanks :]
Okay I have a problem. I’m currently pregnant and wearing my hijab around my neck is making me nauseous and feeling like I’m choking. Does ANYONE have any other way I can style it, so that I’m not feeling ill all day long. Please email me.
When is everything else going to be published? It still says coming soon. How long will that be does anyone know? And where can the actual magazine be brought from?
I liked the way she did her hijab with small earings,another one I like is by Sarina Enayatulla. She has her own very funny and honest blog.She writes really well and she is doing more videos on a muslim womens closet in addition to the Washington Post ones.

I am fond of wearing a turtleneck and wearing my hijab in a bun. However, this may or may not be conservative enough for you. For me, it is my favorite.
Be sure to check out that reporter from the washington post’s new hijab video. Sabrina Enayatulla now has her own blog. It’s fascinating.

its really pretty!!!!! too much work though..im starting hijab this summer and i know thats wayyy to hard for me to do every morning!!!
I have a serious problem with this look. I love it WAY too much! My problem is that I’m a Jew, and I’ve been taught that out of respect for our cousins the Muslims, I shouldn’t wear my scarf the way Muslimas wear theirs, because it might appear as if I’m mocking Islam (God forbid) or just wearing it as a costume.
So I’m supposed to wear a scarf that only covers my hair and maybe my ears, but not my neck. That way I will still look Jewish, both to my Muslim neighbors and to my fellow Jews. But the Muslim ways of wrapping scarves are so elegant! And they keep the neck warmer in winter, and shield it from sunburn in the summertime.
I wish I could think of ways to wrap my scarves as beautiful as this wonderful girl, and the other women on this site, but that kept me still looking Jewish. If anyone has an idea, please help!
its nice!
idal for winter, can anyone tell me how to do your scarf the bun way plz!
Salaam Alaikum
411 hijabs.com sells 2 colored underscarves that is really one underscarf but has two colors.
They come in 9 different colors, and look really nice.
Sisterly,
Awesome!
I am so wearing this to school tomorrow. She looks gorgeous masha’allah.
I’m probably going to go with only 2 layers but it’ll still be nice B)
@Judith: I don’t think it’ll be mocking Muslims in any form at all! No one’s going to harass you (God forbid) for wearing a headscarf in any style you like. Maybe you can wear a necklace with the symbol of your faith for any misunderstandings? How awkward if some says Asalamu Alaikum and you say Aleichem Shalom, although I doubt they’ll notice the difference :D
it’s so cool that so many women visit this site :) even Jewish. if just more Christian girls started wearing modest clothing i think we could build some “feminine bridges” :)
Salaam Sister,
it would be great if there is a photo gallery that we can browse through to get some hijab styles. i’m running out of ideas… or is there one already, and i missed it out?
also, would you know of any websites with bridal hijab styles?
shukran
no offense but that looks really silly.
Aagi, you’re so right! You know, I’ve read the Christian bible and it says in there that a woman should cover her head while praying. In another part, it says “pray without ceasing,” so theoretically a Christian woman’s head should be covered all the time because she’s praying all the time. The three monotheistic faiths all prescribe head/hair covering for women. I would love to start a tripartate conversation group for head covering. I think it’s true what one of our Haute Hijabis said, “You could [cover your hair] if you truly knew the rich benefits it brings.”

I’m a Christian who covers, although, I’m seriously considering converting to Islam, so I suppose I don’t count. ^^’
But.. for the time being, I’m a Christian who wears a scarf the “Muslim” way. :)
