The culture of Hijab and its religious importance:

  • Stay modest and confident at the same time
  • These last two things might seem paradoxical, but in truth, they’re not. Both of them are equally important. Whatever you wear, however, you choose to wear your hijab, whatever pins you use to keep it all in place, be modest.
  • Don’t use the hijab as an excuse and think that your work is a Muslim is done; be the best person you can be.
  • The whole point of hijab is to be modest, and there is no point of covering up your hair and neck if your actions aren’t humble. So Be modest, but at the same time, be confident. And by confidence, I don’t mean ‘strut-your-stuff-down-the-runway- confidence, but courage and fearlessness.
  • The transition to becoming a hijabi isn’t an easy one. The people around you may or may not be supportive. Sometimes the ones you think will be supportive will be aghast at your decision and try to convince you otherwise. Sometimes the ones you think will mock you will cheer you on and tell you how happy they are.
  • People may change how they interact with you; it might be the people closest to you or the people you see randomly. But don’t let all that bog you down. Stand by your decision to be modest. Explain it to people. Be proud of yourself. When people ask you about your hijab, answer gracefully and humbly. Keep your chin up and keep smiling.
  • More important than the clothes, the scarves, the pins, the accessories, etc. is your desire to be the best you can be for Allah. Be true to your intentions to please Allah and may He reward you. Here are Simple Makeup with Hijab Tutorial and Hijab Makeup Tips.

↓ 9 – Bonnet Hat

The bonnet hat is a relatively new addition to the underscarf range. It is made of a stretch lycra/spandex type of fabric, normally polyester. It is designed in a pull-on style, much like a hat, hence the name. The bonnet hat is elasticated at the back to accommodate any hair or hairstyles but it is usually more comfortable to let the hair out rather than tuck it in. The bonnet-hat is very easy to wear, it really is as simple as slipping it on over the head and tucking in any stray wisps that escape.

↓ 8 – The Lace Bonnet

This is a tube-like bonnet-type underscarf with a hard flap just above the forehead, it opens from both ends.  This caplet ensures the scarf placed above it stays in place, creating a neatly framed look for your face. It is normally made from polyester lace and is stretchable to fit.

The main advantage of a lace bonnet is that it is very light and thin. Very useful for Hijab styles that are voluminous and bulky. To wear, it is usually easier to pull completely over the head so it falls around the neck, and then pull back over the front of the head where it will take all the hair with it, giving you a hair free fit.
