I haven\u2019t come up with a reasonable way to tie a scarf quickly and neatly without suffering from \u2018scarf head\u2019 and have it look nice. I watch the videos, they are detailed and complicated, often requiring many pins and headbands and mirrors.<\/p>\n

The other thing is that of all the people I see wearing hijab, there are two styles that I really like. One style is called \u2018tichel\u2019 style, where the scarf is tied so that it looks like a big bun in the back of your head.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

This particular scarf is sold by Sowers of Hope on Etsy<\/a> and at Sowers of Hope Boutique.<\/a><\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

The other style is where you wrap the scarf tight against your forehead right at the hairline with or without an underscarf and then have a bump at the crown of your head\u2026and wrap the tails around your neck. \u00a0The closest photo I\u2019ve found to this is here, named the Turkish Style.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very close to just buying a cloche. \u00a0I have a long history of loving hats, and I used to wear them all the time. \u00a0Then when I started dressing the way I thought I was supposed to dress, and less like my own personal style, I got away from them. \u00a0Lately I\u2019ve been window shopping hats and have found a new love of the cloche style. \u00a0There are some very beautiful hats made from all different materials.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

I like this budget friendly one made by\u00a0 ShabbyCloche on Etsy<\/a>\u00a0so I can throw it on, tuck my hair in and go.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

And this handmade hat by Behida Dolic,<\/a> pricey, but sooo beautiful!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure it would be appropriate though. \u00a0What are your thoughts? \u00a0Does wearing a hat to conceal your hair and ears meet the hijab \u00a0 requirements? \u00a0How do you deal with the scarf when you don\u2019t wear hijab full-time?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
