How to tie the 'jilbab' properly

How to tie the 'jilbab' properly

Square jilbab

* Fold fabric in a triangle * Place scarf over your hair * Leave one side longer than the other side -- this will give you coverage over the chest area * Pin your scarf at the chin * Alternately, bring one side of the scarf and pull it under your chin, then over the side of your face, framing it * Pin your scarf at the top of your head * This style offers coverage of the chin, and drapes nicely over your chest and frames the face

Wrap jilbab

* Use an underscarf if you would like * Place wrap jilbab over your hair, leaving one side longer than the other * Pin at the base of your chin comfortably * Pull the longer side of the jilbab under and over your chin, so the wrap frames your face delicately * Pin with your favorite jilbab pin at the top of your head or use a straight pin * Use your favorite decorative underscarf or another scarf underneath for decoration, and follow the directions above * Then, instead of pinning at the top of your head, pull the wrap jilbab over your shoulder and pin

Twist turban wrap

* Place wrap jilbab over your hair, leaving one side longer than the other * Pin at the nape of the neck or simply hold firm, and twist the fabric * Take one side and bring up * Then bring the other hanging fabric and bring up * Tuck loose fabric inside of bun of fabric; there is no need to pin, it should hold in place * Wrap another headscarf over your twist wrap
