More and more often we can notice how elements of any culture, in this case, Eastern, Muslim, penetrate into our everyday life. So European women adopted the hijab as another head covering. But figuring out how to tie this scarf the way oriental beauties do it, and also not becoming a victim of an experiment and looking truly mysterious and not strange, is not so easy. You will learn about all of the above from our article.
Rules for tying a hijab
The hijab must completely cover the chest and hair. In this way, the girl emphasizes her love for Allah and limits unwanted attention. Therefore, remember that the hair underneath must be collected. Real Muslim women who have thick and long hair use a special cap called a bonnet.
The length of the scarf must be at least one and a half meters, otherwise it will not be possible to tie it beautifully.At first, the technique may seem complicated and incomprehensible, but you will quickly learn and be able to pay attention to your femininity and modesty.
IMPORTANT! Remember that the scarf should not be transparent or frilly - this would defeat its purpose. The most common color is black, but light, delicate shades are also popular. The same applies to its combination with other clothes. Extravagant and bright things in this case will look strange and, at a minimum, inappropriate.
Ways to tie a hijab beautifully
To create an original image, you can use different techniques, including modern and classic.
Classic
- Be sure to put your hair in a ponytail or under a special cap;
- we throw a scarf over our heads, placing it along the line of our forehead;
- arrange it so that one side is longer and the other is shorter;
- tie the edges at the back of the head;
- we draw a short one along the forehead and secure it at the back of the head;
- we fix the long end on the other side at the back of the head, but lower, after first circling it around the neck;

Using pins
For greater reliability, you can use pins. Sometimes they are also used as decorations, if we do not forget about the already mentioned prohibition on pretentiousness.
Pins are attached under the chin or near the ear, but you can pin them in the necessary places to make the hijab look more beautiful and not fall off throughout the day.
