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 [...]

[Note: With this article I am trying to show that wearing hijab in and of itself will not cause hair loss. If you experience hair loss or breakage upon starting to wear hijab, there are underlying reasons (as listed below) that cause your hair loss and breakage.

HIJAB STYLE REMIX
This Hijab Style Remix features Rachel Bilson in an easy, casual look that’s pretty modest as it is. To make the look more hijab friendly, I added wider-legged jeans, a longer undershirt (for more coverage in the front), and of course a black hijab. Since I prefer to be a little more polished, [...]

HIJABS DU JOUR : PYTHON PRINTS
In this edition of Hijabs Du Jour, I’m featuring the “wildly popular” python print trend. Ok, so I’m being a little corny! But, the trend is really hot right now and I was able to find a number of hijabs that work back to it.
I already have a nice python [...]

HIJAB ESSENTIALS : NORMA KAMALI for WALMART

HIJAB Q&A : IMITATING THE “DISBELIEVERS”
[UPDATE: I will continue this post later on inshallah because I am too busy to sit and write it right now. Sorry for the delay.]

HIJAB ESSENTIALS : CARDIGANS
Cardigans are a huge trend for this year’s spring days and summer nights. But for hijab-wearing women, they are year-round wardrobe essentials. I love cardigans because, like blazers, they provide a polished finish to my sleeveless outfits, yet they are more comfy and easy to wear than most jackets.
The cardigan featured in [...]
MODERN ISLAMIC CLOTHING DESIGNER : ARTIZARA
One of my goals is to create my own line of Islamic clothing in the future, inshallah. I love the behind-the-scenes side of fashion just as much as I love the clothes, so last week I caught up with Helen of Artizara.com to find out more about their modern Islamic [...]

HIJAB STYLE STEAL: ECLECTIC CHIC
I came across the picture on the right online and I love the way the Muslimah is mixing textures, prints, and colors to create her unique look.

IS HIJAB OVERRATED? PART 1
I think that it is and it isn’t. This may surprise some of you because this site is all about how much “We Love Hijab“, but I think that some people take the concept of hijab to an unnecessary extreme.
On one hand it is seen as an oppressive, cultural, or otherwise [...]
