How to tie a scarf on your head like a Muslim?

Such a thing in the wardrobe as the Muslim hijab involves not only wearing it on the shoulders or neck. A scarf tied beautifully on your head will look no less stylish at any time of the year. This will add some charm to the image. You can not just tie a scarf on your head, but learn how to decorate your headdress in an original way.

Are there any design rules?

There are no special rules in the design of headdress. Here you must rely entirely on your taste and originality. Eastern women, when wearing a hijab, try to hide all their hair under it. European beauties do not have to follow this rule. You can leave all the curls open or let out a few strands.

You can wear a scarf on your head at any time of the year and in any weather. In the summer, fashionistas prefer materials such as chintz, silk or cambric.

To prevent the material from slipping through your hair, wear a special cap underneath it, called a bonnet., it is sold in boutiques that sell hats. In winter, thick fabrics and knitted items replace thin ones. You can wear a scarf with any accessories, but elongated earrings look especially original, drawing even more attention to the image. An original brooch or hairpin on a headdress will add some zest and make the look more romantic and oriental.

IMPORTANT! English needles, hairpins or hairpins will help secure the structure on the head.

What are the different ways?

There are many interesting ways to tie a hijab or stole:

• braid;
• tourniquet;
• a box;
• with extended ends;
• multilayer;
• woven into hair.

Tie a triangular scarf

Such scarves are classic, so they are the easiest to work with. If you don’t have a special triangular scarf in your wardrobe, use a regular rectangular one, folding it diagonally.

1. Place the fabric in the center of your head and hold both sides of the fabric against one cheekbone.
2. Twist one end into a flagellum.
3. After this, press it to your neck.
4. Holding the material on one side, pull the other end of the fabric near your ear.
5. Wrap the scarf around your neck, without pulling the fabric, while holding the flagellum.
6. Gently straighten the remaining part and leave it, it should fall beautifully.

Method with a tourniquet

No less original is the method of tying a hijab with a tourniquet. This way you can cover your entire head or leave your hair open. Let's consider both methods.

1. Take a scarf or a beautiful stole and twist it into a tight rope, starting from the middle. Wrap the resulting tourniquet around your head from the forehead to the back of the head. Tie the ends of the fabric in a knot or pin them with a beautiful English needle. The ends can be hidden inside or left free under the hair.
2. The second method involves covering the entire head with a structure. Carefully fold the scarf into a triangular shape and place it on your head. Bring the edges back and tie them. Carefully wind the strands from both ends and direct them to the top of the head, where the strands should also be tied into a knot.

"Box"

Eastern women often tie a cloth on their heads so that it is shaped like a box. A scarf with a border is perfect for this method. What you need to do:

• twist the bottom of the fabric;
• fold the narrow part in half and pin off the ends with a needle;
• tie a knot from both sides;
• fold the tip of the fabric and pin it to the fabric;
• form a shuttlecock and pin it on the other side;
• unfold the flounce, pin both sides of the fabric;
• take the right side of the shuttlecock, secure it with a pin, wrap it around your neck and pull it in the opposite direction;
• take the remaining part by the tip, pin it in the center and secure;
• Pin the fabric on the sides and secure it along the chin.

IMPORTANT! This method of tying is preferred by Muslim women who are over 45–50 years old.

With the ends extended

A hijab with extended ends will cover not only your head, but also your neck. That's why This method of tying is suitable not only for summer thin fabrics, but also for woolen and down products for the winter season.

2. Grab the right side with both hands so that the fabric forms a hanging triangle shape.

7. Pin the left side to the right side and secure the end to the other.
8. Place it in the center and secure with a safety pin.

Braided into hair

In the summer, a scarf woven into the hair looks original. A thin rectangular fabric is suitable for this. How to proceed?

There is another way to weave a scarf into a braid and still cover your head. Tie a cloth on your head in the form of a bandana, and weave the remaining hanging ends of the scarf into your hair, as in the first option. The braid can be left hanging down the back, thrown over the shoulder, or twisted into an original cone. You can tie a beautiful bow or knot from the remaining ends.

With drapery

A draped hijab can be tied in two different ways:

• oblique drapery;
• double drapery.

Bias drapery

Double drapery

2. Throw it over your head and secure the long part at a distance of 25–30 cm from the edge on both sides.
3. From the folded part, form a flounce around the forehead and pin it with needles.
4. Next, we form a fold from the narrow part of the scarf, also above the forehead.
5. We wrap the other side of the fabric around the neck and pin it.
6. The end of the scarf is attached so that it hangs beautifully over the shoulder.

Multilayer

Another common way to beautifully tie fabric on your head is to use layers. You will need a scarf with beads all around the edge.

1. Place the edge over your face and secure the fabric on one side.
2. Next, position the edges evenly and pin on each side. Leave approximately 40–45 cm.

Beautiful knot

Eastern style requires covering the entire head with material. A beautiful and original knot will help to decorate the design on your hair. Once you have put on the scarf, tie the ends tightly at the back. Twist and wrap into flagella into a cone.You can fasten the material so that it does not fall apart with bobby pins or a pin. In addition to the knot, you can tie a multi-layered bow, and hide the small ends under the fabric or leave them hanging.

How to pin a hairpin correctly?

Any hijab, scarf, or stole can be transformed by adding a beautiful brooch or hairpin to the design tied to the head. Accessory can be attached to any part of the scarf: side, back, center, front. Most often, the knot is closed with a hairpin or the hanging folds are pinned up. Choose a bright or shiny hairpin and then your look will turn out more sophisticated and festive.

IMPORTANT! We recommend adding the accessory only to a one-color scarf, as the pin may get lost on a product with a print.

Interesting colors of scarves

Muslim women prefer modesty in their clothing, but this rule does not apply to hats. The fabric can not only be plain; bright materials are often used, decorated with floral prints, beads, rhinestones, sequins, and hand embroidery. The most popular color combinations:

• gold + pink;
• white + blue;
• emerald + silver;
• plum + black;
• coral + white.

In addition, tricolor fabrics are often used for hats.

Matching Accessories

In addition to hairpins, you can use other products as accessories to add individuality and charm to your look. In summer, it is appropriate to wear sunglasses with a scarf tied on your head. Of course, this will distance the Muslim image and add a European touch to it. Often modern women of fashion wear long earrings with a scarf on their heads, wrap the structure with a long thread with stones or sequins, and decorate it with fur or leather straps.
