Finding the Right Hijab Material for You

Finding the Right Hijab Material for You

If you’re just starting hijab, been trying the same style for way too long, or just want to test out another material, we’ve got you covered! 

Because hijab is so personal, it may take some time to figure out the perfect material for your face type. With enough time and experimenting, you’ll find the styles you love best. And remember, it’s totally okay to love more than one hijab style. It makes wearing the hijab that much more fun.

Here are some tips we’ve learned over the years on how to find the right hijab fabric for you. 

1. If you like the professional, “put together” look - we recommend Chiffon. 

Chiffon hijabs are the best for this kind of look, simply because of how they drape and frame the face. Chiffon is a material that is very often found in women’s business clothing as well, which is why a lot of women associate this fabric with professional outfits. 

With the proper undercap, Chiffon hijabs are quick to wrap and style. We recommend using our Adjustable Tie Underscarf and Hijab Magnets to get the look you’re going for. 

2. If you’re unsure of your face shape, and want to try a few styles, we recommend trying our Chiffon Hijabs

Chiffon hijabs are a great example of a material that works well with a large variety of styles. Because chiffon hijabs are so lightweight, they are able to frame various different face shapes. A lot of people who are unsure if they like rectangle hijabs vs square hijabs often try our Chiffons because they are easily wrapped as both. Be sure to check out how to wear a rectangle hijab as a square hijab - it'll expand your hijab wardrobe by a great deal

3. If you want an easy wrap and go hijab, try our Modal Hijabs

Our Modal hijabs are high quality and our most convenient fabric to wrap. These hijabs can be worn with an undercap or without, depending on your style preference and are considered to be non-slip. They are lightweight, soft, and look put together simply by tossing them on and securing with a hijab magnet of your choice. 

A lot of students, working women, and overall busy ladies prefer these hijabs due to how convenient they are to wrap. Most ladies wash them and then air dry them. The key is to hang them after so they minimize wrinkling afterward, and ready to wear when you need to go out. 

4. If you’re looking for comfort, try our Jersey Hijabs 

The perfect hijabs for women looking to be comfortable enough to take a nap. This material is a part of our latest collection and comes in a large variety of colors. The key to jersey is styling them in a way that works for your face shape, so be sure to check out a lot of tutorials and Tiktok videos for inspiration on how to wear them. 

5. If you’re looking for a cool fabric that doesn’t budge, try our Malai Lawn 

Malai Lawn is a cooling rayon material, ideal for hijabs. This fabric is meant for those who want a fabric that stays in place and keeps them comfortable. Our plains in this fabric sold out, but we do have a lot of designs in stock such as the Constellation, Make Your Unconventional Beautiful, and Origins (Custom Country) hijabs.
