Hijab is what people are commonly known as veils or scarves which are mainly worn on the head. It is mainly used by the Muslim women to cover their head. In fact, the word ‘hijab’ itself means ‘cover’. One can find different forms of hijab though. For Muslim women, wearing a hijab means showing a form of modesty. This has also become a part of their cultural practice.
There are different shapes of Hijab available like rectangle, square, plain and printed. In fact, varieties of fabric are also used to make these like chiffon, viscose, knit, georgette and satin. One has to match them with their dress and their face shapes to add elegance to their look. There are hijab online stores from where people can choose verities of hijabs so that they can mix and match with whatever they are wearing it.
But the question is why a woman should wear hijab? Many Muslim women do that because they believe that God has instructed them to wear it to fulfil the command for modesty. Again, for many Muslim women, wearing a hijab is a matter of choice which they can make after they reach puberty. One can also wear a hijab along with a loose fitting cloth which is not at all revealing. Some Muslim women wear them to convey their identity as this is a major mark where they can get stereotyped. But to many women, wearing a hijab is also not a matter of choice. To them, it is something which is compulsory because their religious faith and belief ask them to follow certain rules when it comes to their clothing guide. For them, it is definitely not a personal choice, they have to wear them to belong to the community and show faith to them. This may be termed as a compulsion where they are almost forced to wear a hijab but that is totally a debatable issue.
If you do not know how to wear it properly, then you have to know that it is not a very difficult thing to wear a hijab. First, you have to fold the scarf into a triangle and then place it on your head with one side longer than the other and one under the chin. Then you have to take the longer side to wrap it from behind your head and then bring it to the other side. Then put the scarf behind your head and then at the shoulder.
One can make their own fashion statement by wearing a hijab. Just because; you are covering your head with a scarf does not mean you cannot do it with a style. Wear a proper headgear or a headband on a plain hijab to bring a perfect twist in it. You can also wear some colored pins to tie up the hijab. This can also add some color break if you are going for a plain hijab.
