How to tie a hijab from a scarf

Hijab is a traditional Muslim headscarf that completely covers a woman's head and neck. Before you learn how to tie a hijab from a scarf, it is worth talking about the small intricacies of wearing this headdress for women.

How to tie a hijab from a scarf

To ensure that the headdress stays securely on the head and does not slip, a special cap (cap) or wide bandage is always worn under it. It hides the hair well back, does not slide onto the forehead and fixes everything, even the smallest hairs.

Hair must be collected at the back of the head in a bun. This is necessary in order for a protrusion to form. The hijab will not move off your head. If there is not enough hair, you can use a special roller. It is sold in the store along with scarves and scarves or in the department with combs and hairpins. The roller is attached to the hair using bobby pins and creates a comfortable projection.

Before you wear a hijab, you should think about your outfit in advance. A dress that is too open or a sleeveless top will not look aesthetically pleasing with a hijab.Clothes should not be bright, calm colors, without unnecessary details. Then the image will turn out to be very gentle and discreet.

Classic method (with fastening at the back of the head)

To tie a scarf this way, you need to throw it over your head. One end should be shorter. On the forehead it is straightened and tucked so that it fits tightly to the forehead, covering the hairline. Then the edges of the scarf are secured under the back of the head using a bobby pin or hairpin. The edges are straightened and wrapped around the head, carefully hiding the first layer of fabric. At the end, you need to straighten and fasten both ends and secure with a needle or bobby pin.

Important! Sometimes, with this way of wearing a hijab, it can slip through the hair and slide down. It will be convenient to secure the material directly to the forehead with a pair of invisible ones. It looks unusual.

With fastening on one side

The scarf is draped over the hair. The length of both ends should be the same. The hair is hidden under a special cap. The material is attached tightly under the chin using a needle.

The left end of the scarf is wrapped around the neck and secured to the back of the head with a pin. The other end is carefully covered over the entire head and also to the left side. Then the right edge of the stole is carefully attached to the side on the right side using a needle.

Good to know! Instead of a needle, a brooch will look beautiful.

With fastening on the forehead and sides

The method of attaching the hijab to the forehead is very unusual. It's easy to put on. You need to collect your hair under a cap, which is worn under the hijab. Then you need to throw the scarf over your head as usual, putting a towel on your wet head. That is, the head is lowered and the side of the scarf is distributed crosswise directly on the forehead.

Having secured the top edge with a needle, wrap the rest of the scarf around your head.The edges should also be attached with a needle.

Side mounting

Place the material over your head so that one end is shorter than the other. Then fasten it on the sides, framing the contour of the face. Attach the short part on the opposite side, and wrap the long end of the scarf around your neck. The material is nicely distributed in folds at the front.

For reference! The fabric for making hijabs must be dense and of good quality. In the east, women prefer silk. But it is not convenient enough, as it slips very much through the hair. Translucent materials such as chiffon are not permitted.
