FEATURED HIJAB STYLES TUTORIAL : HOW TO WRAP A DUPATTA (AROUND YOUR HEAD)


Hijab Style Tutorial By: caramelle47


A young sister from India wrote me about the fact that there are no Islamic clothing stores in her area where she can buy hijabs from. And she wanted to know if there were any hijab styles that she could create using dupattas. A dupatta is a large shawl (rectangular fabric) that typically comes as a part of a shalwar kameez suit. Usually, a dupatta is wrapped loosely around the head and/or shoulders, but in the video above, Caramelle47 shows you how to create a secure hijab style with it.


BTW… If you’re looking for more coverage or if you like really fancy hijabs, you may want to check out dupattas at your local South Asian clothing store. Or you could try googling “dupattas”. Be sure to let me know what you think of the video. [And please, no bashing, the sister obviously knows that she doesn't have on a hijab in the beginning/end of the video. That's between her and Allah, but if you feel the need to "advise" her, do so gently as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) would've done in his time... Thanks ladies! :-)]

FEATURED HIJAB STYLES TUTORIAL : BRAIDED HIJAB


Hijab Style Tutorial By: gwhajibi


I’ve been getting some requests lately for braided hijab styles. I found this video in which the sister demonstrates how to add a braid to your hijab. At first thought, the idea of adding a braid to your hijab seems a little weird to me, but depending on what color/print your hijabs are, I think it could work.


When wearing avant garde hijab styles like this one, I would suggest keeping the color palette simple. In the video, the sister is wearing a bright yellow hijab with a green printed hijab on top. These are very contrasting hijabs, which she probably chose for demonstration purposes (so that the hijab style could be seen easily). I would choose colors that “pop” less, like a deep purple hijab with a black braided hijab on top. I’d probably stay away from prints with this style, but of course, it’s up to you. So, what do you think of this hijab style? Would you wear a braided scarf?

FEATURED HIJAB STYLE TUTORIAL


I must confess that for me, there is nothing worse than a “flat hijab“. Sounds a bit silly, I know, but seriously, I can’t stand it when my hijab is flat and tight around my head and I always try to find ways to add a little volume to my hijab styles.


I found a video in which a YouTuber named Amenakin shows us a lovely (and simple) way to wear the hijab without it being flat. She adds volume to the hijab style by adding “folds” while she’s wrapping her scarf around her head. I would embed the video here, but embedding is disabled on this video so you’ll have to click the picture to watch it. Do check it out and tell me what you think of it.


And oh by the way, I’ve added a collection of about 150 How To Wear Hijab Styles video tutorials. More will be added frequently, inshaAllah…Click here to check them all out!

EID HIJAB STYLES CONTEST

EID HIJAB STYLES : SITI

The Hijabi:
Siti, 28

Location:
Singapore

Occupation:
Secretary

The Look:
Another festive look featuring Singpore hijab style – tunic and pants set.

I love it because…
the tunic has gold accents (my favorite metallic color!) and the pants are an example of the original inspiration of fashion’s harem-pant trend. See how Muslim women inspire mainstream fashion?

What I’d change…
Not a thing. Her look is modern and traditional all at once.

What do you think of Siti’s look?

EID HIJAB STYLES : HASLINA

The Hijabi:
Haslina, 28

Occupation:
Singapore

The Look:
A beautiful abaya, silky hijab, and brooch.

I love it because…
rather than wearing a plain abaya, Haslina wore one with decorative green accents. Very festive!

What I’d change…
Nothing, at all. This look is very modest and elegant… And I really want that abaya!

Tameeka, 25

Occupation:
Clerk/Student

Gray skirt, silky patterned top with ruffles, ombre hijab.

I love it because…
the black, yellow, gray, and white colors are really elegant. I also like the fact that she found a way to show the ruffled neckline on her top whilst wearing hijab.

What I’d change…
Nothing, really. This look is a nice example of modern hijab style.

EID HIJAB STYLES : AMNA

The Hijabi:
Amna, 24

Location:
Canada

Occupation:
Stay-at-home Mom

The Look:
Maxi dress by Gypsy 05, tee, large bangles, and a fringy hijab.

I love it because…
of the cool blue and green color palette… Very ocean-esque as we move into Fall. BTW: Kudos to Amna’s sister for the lovely photography!

What I’d change…
I like this look, but I’d do one or two things in order to make it a little bit more modest for my taste. I’d either wear a bigger hijab and push down the sleeves on the tee for more body coverage, or I’d wear a cardigan over the dress.
