Busy mornings call for hijab styles that look polished, stay in place and don't take ten attempts. These five work with most of our hijabs, especially plain georgette.
Before you start: wear a soft tie cap or a 4-in-1 tube band underneath. It keeps your hair neat and gives the hijab something to grip, so it won't slide back.
1. The classic wrap
Drape the hijab with one side longer. Secure under the chin, then bring the longer side around the head and fasten at the side. Neat, simple and perfect for the office.
2. The simple drape
Place the hijab evenly, pin or magnet it under the chin, and let both ends fall loosely at the front. Flip one end over the shoulder for a relaxed university look.
3. The pleated front
Make two or three small pleats at the forehead before securing under the chin. It adds structure and keeps the shape all day. Georgette holds pleats especially well.
4. The tucked style
Wrap as usual, then tuck the ends neatly into the neckline or under your abaya. Great for labs, commuting or anywhere loose ends get in the way.
5. The no-pin magnet style
Use a hijab magnet under the chin and another at the shoulder instead of pins. Fast to put on, easy to adjust, and kind to delicate fabric.
Colours that go with everything
