Niqab Tutorial

This niqab style will look elegant and at the same time, stay on for almost hours without moving (with normal activity), in shaa Allah! <3

THINGS YOU'LL NEED:

1. Rectangular hijab/dupatta/head-scarf
I use a regular chiffon dupatta (2.75 yards) by folding its breadth in half to make it less see-through.
2. Three safety pins
I use regular steel ones but you can use hijab-friendly ones.
3. Two dress pins
Also known as straight hijab pins.
4. Under-cap

STEP 1:
After tying your hair and wearing your hijab cap, put your head-scarf over your head (already folded if using you're using a chiffon dupatta), keeping one side shorter than the other. The shorter side will be used to make niqab.



STEP 2:
Throw both sides behind you and tie them with a safety pin at the point where the hijab cap ends.

STEP 3:
Bring both sides to the front again. Now make niqab with the short side. Holding the rectangular cloth in front of you, take one side of it and tie it behind your ear, with a saftey pin, securing it through your hijab and hijab cap. Do the same with the other end. By the end of this step, you should have a niqab on your face and the long side should be hanging loose.
(Don't worry about the ugly saftey pins, we'll cover them up with the longer side)

STEP 4:
Bring the long side around your head to the opposite side.

STEP 5:
Pin the long side on top of your head with two dress pins, one on each side of your head, so the hijab stays in place.

TADA! YOU'RE DONE.
