Ways to Wear Hijab Underscarves: Hijab is an Arabic word which means a barrier of partition. In Islam, however, it has a broader meaning. It is the principle of modesty and includes behavior as well as a dress for both males and females.
The most visible form of hijab is the head covering that many Muslim women wear. Hijab, however, goes beyond the headscarf. The hijab is the mark of piety, is an act of faith, a symbol, for all the world to see. The purpose of the article is to help females understand, especially those who are new to hijab, what an under scarf is, various types of underscarf and how to wear it. Some hijabis get by wearing under scarves, while for some but it’s crucial! For some, the benefit of an underscarf is keeping your hair from constantly coming out of your hijab and keeping the hijab secure. Depending on the kind of hijab you’re wearing, an underscarf is important to keep your hijab in place. They also come in handy when pinning your hijab down.
Everything You Need to Know About Hijab Under Scarf
There are many types of under scarves out there in the market. They are made of a variety of materials and come in different shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, and designs. How you choose to wear is a personal preference. Mixing and matching your underscarves with your outer scarf and hijab outfit can be fun!
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.

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.
