New Trendy Fashion Hijab Styles

The scarf is an important part of a muslim woman’s outfit. But,as the trends and styles change. there are peculiar styles associated with regions and the right hijab style to fit your face shape. The amazing videos with step-to-step guide and pictures below will help.
There are mainly three broad hijab styles known to the arab/asian world:

• The Saudi shayla
• The Indonesian
• The Egyptian

All other new,trendy styles are labelled under “hijaab” the new hijaab takes into consideration the fabric used, your face shape and sometimes can be used to tell which age bracket you fall into.
The Saudi shayla is usually done with a long rectangular scarf. It is wrapped around the head amd tucked or pinned in place at the shoulders. It is the common style in the gulf region

The indonesian, also referred to as al-amira is a two piece veil. it consists of a close fitting cap usually made from cotton or polyester and an accompanying tube like scarf.

The Egyptian has taken over the modern muslimah’s wardrobe. Its so modern and fashion forward as the scarf they use are very colorful and stylish and they use a lot of accessories. Its done like a wrap and sometimes with two or more veils.

 Apart from the origin of these new hijab styles, let’s take a look at what style fits what face shape. misshijabi.com did a great job by making this illustrative post. See them below;

•  Heart/Triangle shaped faces look great in looser hijab styles. A tightly wrapped hijab, specifically focused on the top half of the head, only emphasis your larger forehead area, so try to keep it draped in a loose effect by creating gentle folds around this area that fall down loosely around your jawline whilst covering the sides of your forehead to minimise the space and create a more pleasing diamond shaped face.

• Oval faces (being the most symmetric of all face shapes) will 99.9% of the time suit all hijab styles and can work pretty much any scarf shape out there. So really, Dude what are you even doing here? Go away somewhere awesome and stare into a mirror at yourself whilst marveling at your own perfection.

• Long/rectangular face do not opt for a style that clings tightly around your face as it only emphasises your elongated head. Instead you can try shortening the length by pulling your undercap down your forehead so it cuts at least a quarter of the length off your face. Expose your cheekbones as far back as you can to create some much needed width to your face while also choosing hijabs with ruffles and volume/detailing at the sides of your head to further create an illusion of width. Don’t add volume to the top of your head or expose your neck as this only extends the length of your face and drags it down

•  Round faces should also avoid the Egyptian/Spanish hijab styles that expose the neck, especially if you have a double chin or chubby face in general (no matter what your face shape). It doesn’t flatter at all and just makes you look like a fatty turtle head as it puts the focus straight on any chunkiness you have in that area.

• Square faces should not wear a tight style pulled right back under their chin that leaves their square jaw jutting out. It just makes your jawline look even more masculine. The typical Turkish style hijab that involves a square scarf pinned tightly under the chin and covers the sides of the top of your head looks horrible on square faced women as it turns their face into a heavy triangle. It seriously just pushes out a square jaw and loses all femininity instantly.
