There are many different ways to wear a Hijab properly. When it comes to Islamic clothing, though, a lot of modernization has taken place; there are essentially five styles to wear the Hijab and these are underlined below.

First style

In this technique of wearing the hijab, a pashmina shawl is placed over the head with one side shorter than the other side. Then, using a safety pin, the two edges are folded back behind the neck and pinned together. When pinning, the scarf front should look smooth and neat. Then, take the longer scarf edge and bring it around under the chin and take the scarf all the way to the other end. The hijab should fall evenly around your shoulders and there must be no creases on the front portion of the scarf. Once the placement is satisfactory, you should pin the other edge of the hijab to the portion around under the neck.

Second style

In this technique, the method of wearing the hijab is the same as the first style. However the difference is that in here, the finish is smoother and neater in appearance. The hijab front portion is pinned onto the back of the person's head instead of in the front as in the first method.

Third style

This is a very popular and smart style of wearing the hijab. These days there is a wide range of oblong hijabs available at various stores selling wholesale Islamic clothing. You can use such hijabs or a scarf in this third style. In this method, place the Pashmina shawl on the head with one side long and other short. Fold the scarf behind the head and pin the two edges at the nape of your neck behind the head. As in the earlier methods, ensure the hijab front is smooth with no creases. Take the longer scarf edge and bring it around under the chin all the way to the other side. You can now pin the hijab under your ear or on the head side as per your individual preference. You can also pin the hijab at the back of the head for a cleaner and smarter appearance.

Mona Hijab

This is a new kind of hijab style, which is only available online. Thus, the best place to get such hijabs would be in online shops which specialize in wholesale Islamic clothing. This is a single-piece hijab comprising of underscarf with stretch material and a scarf attached to it. Once you place the underscarf on the head, the attached hijab will fall smoothly and naturally around the head so you only have to wrap it once and pin it on the front or back of the head.

Turban styled

This is a very new design when it comes to wearing hijabs. In these exclusive designs, the Kuwaiti Amira is a good choice. In such a style of wearing hijab, the person has to tie the hijab ends on the back of the head and bring the edges again to the front, fold the sides and swing all around the head. All excess parts of the scarf have to be tied underneath or the other end can be tucked at the side. You can also add another scarf to the turban as per individual preference.
