Hijab most simply can be defined as a veil or a headscarf worn by the Muslim women. The word “Hijab’, is an Arabic word, which refers to covering.
An integral part of the dresscode set out in Islam, a hijab is meant to cover the head and chest of the Muslim women.
The women who follow Islam, religiouly wear a Hijab at all times when they are out in the public.
Over the years, the Hijab fashion has evolved and so have the various styles to wear it. A little bit of tweaking here and there, can go a long way in redefining your everyday look.
The brief tutorial identifies three different yet simple styling, that can be done with the hijab. Scroll down for a step by step guide to these quick styling hacks.
Style 1
This one is the most common way to wear hijab. Quick and simple, it is the go-to style for hectic mornings.
Step by Step Guideline:
- Take a square scarf of your choice.
- Place the scarf on the head, with the ends resting equally.
- Take one end across leaving the tail on the opposite shoulder.
- Adjust the fall of the scarf near your ear and secure it with a pin.
- Now, take the other end and take it across, letting it rest loosely on the opposite shoulder.
- Adjust the fall of the other side and secure it with a pin.
We suggest you pick out scarfs in bright colors and prints and add that oomph to your daily dress up. If you feeling like prepping up a little more, then opt to contour your face. Finish your look with a dose of mascara and nude lips. With the hijab beautifully landscaping your face, you are now ready to step out and take over the world.
Style 2
This one did be an ideal one when you are dressing up for an elaborate evening. If you are a girl who loves accessories, then opt for this style for your next big invite.
Step by Step Guideline:
- Take a square scarf of your choice.
- Place the scarf on the head, with the ends resting un-equally, preferably longer tail on the left shoulder.
- Take the shorter tail on the right and gently push it back on the left shoulder.
- Now extend the right tail and wrap it around your neck leaving the tail to set in neatly on the left shoulder.
Add a tinge of glamour to your hijab by placing a gorgeous brooch on the right side. We suggest a modest one for a smaller gathering, and a more attention seeking stone studded one for a grand evening. Prep up your face and for a more define look, we would say, opt for contouring. Do some dramatic eye make-up, with a shimmer eye -shadow and mascara and finish this head turning look with a bright pout.

Style 3
This one can be defined as a more liberal variation of styling the hijab. You may want to wear this when you are heading for a relaxed evening with close ones.
Step by Step Guideline:
- Take a square scarf of your choice.
- Place the scarf on the head, with the ends resting un-equally, leaving a rather longer tail on the left shoulder.

- Now take the longer side on the left, and pull it across your neck.
