How to tie a hijab beautifully

Each religion has its own canons about the appearance of believers and rules of their behavior. In Islam, for example, a woman must cover her head to show her respect for the faith and to cover the beauty of her hair and neck.

One of these head coverings is called a hijab. Bizarrely and unusually tied on the head, the hijab immediately gained the interest of the greatest fashion houses and became part of the image in new collections, to which fashionistas responded. However, tying a hijab beautifully is not an easy task. Its length, as a rule, is at least 1.5 meters - how to cope with such an amount of material, and even so that the result is beautiful?

How to wear a hijab correctly

Perhaps the word “hijab” brings to mind the image of a black, boring scarf tied on the head in a shapeless knot. But this is fundamentally wrong - modern hijabs have a variety of colors, which can make the image incredibly beautiful, gentle and memorable. It will not be easy to master the technique of beautiful knots right away, but these skills are worth it.

In addition to different ways of tying, there are also basic wearing rules:

• You should not wear a scarf over loose hair. They should be pulled back into a ponytail or bun.
• The edges should cover the forehead and no part of the hair should be visible.
• The finished knot is attached to the back of the head or under the chin.
• If you choose a scarf made of transparent fabric, then you need to put a cap on top so that your hair is still covered.
• Hijab cannot be combined with open, revealing clothing; it dictates a modest style and covered parts of the body.
• The main feature of the hijab is a tight covering of the forehead and chin line, and loosely curled edges.

If you plan to wear this scarf when traveling to Muslim countries, you should review your entire wardrobe in advance - here it is customary not only to cover your head, but also to cover your arms and legs with long clothes.

REFERENCE: The Holy Scripture itself - the Koran - says that the hijab on the head should “come from the heart,” which means that a woman should like its fabric and colors.

How to tie a hijab beautifully: ways

To diversify the daily covering of the head with a stole, many options for tying it have been invented. Most common The usual mounting option is on one side. The procedure is as follows:

• You can wear a special cap over your hair, which will securely collect your hair and allow you to work freely with the scarf.
• The hijab is placed on the head and fits tightly along the forehead.
• It is secured with a pin under the chin, leaving flowing edges on the shoulders.
• The left edge of the scarf needs to be thrown over your head and the tip secured at the back of your head.
• The right edge passes through the neck and also extends over the left shoulder.
• The edge of the right edge of the hijab is fixed at the left side of the chin or left temple with a beautiful brooch.

Another way is to tie the hijab under the back of the head. In this option, the neck and chest will be hidden, and the scarf will be secured in an interesting and laconic way:

• The hair is pre-tied into a bun.
• The scarf is placed on the head so that one end is longer than the other.
• Following the line of the forehead, the scarf is secured under the back of the head.
• The short tip of the hijab wraps around the head and is secured at the temple.
• The long end of the scarf first wraps around the neck and then is attached to the back of the head or at the opposite temple.

ADVICE! You can use different methods of tying, taking into account weather conditions - if it is very hot, then a tight bandage around the neck will cause discomfort. Here it is better to decorate the neck with the flowing material of the hijab, and secure only its edges.

If a hijab is usually tied to cover the neck, then some methods allow you to cover the chest as well. In this case, the scarf looks like a stole and can be not only an accent in the image, but also an essential part of it. To get a beautiful bandage, you need to do the following:

• Put the hijab on your head so that its central part is at the back of your head, and from there the edges of equal length fall down.
• Fasten the scarf to the back of your head, as if you were wearing an artificial chignon.
• Throw all the material over your right shoulder.
• Straighten the edges of the stole in front of you, leave one loose, and take the other under your chin, wrap it around your neck.
• The part of the scarf that wrapped around the neck should be secured at the back of the head or at the temple.
• Lightly throw the remaining free edge over the neck to the opposite ear and secure it at the temple.

This method allows you to achieve a gentle and harmonious look, especially if the lower part of the outfit is matched to the hijab.

The options listed are basic and do not limit your imagination at all. There are also methods of tying scarves in the form of a braid, or with large knots. Thanks to its impressive length and width, this stole can be experimented with very successfully.
