Side Pin
Starting simple and in the familiar, you can get a classy. But casual look by folding your scarf over your head and pinning it to the side.
Fashion blogger Basheera Tahan, Essay Writing Services, says “It’s very simple to do and gives you a bit of a fresh look with some volume when you’re done.”
Layered
If you want move volume then a layered look is definitely worth looking into. Another simple to do look with a light scarf. You simply need to give the illusion of layers without actually piling on the scarves. Make sure you have a scarf with enough fabric before you start. And pile it up till you’re happy with the style.
Turban
This is perfect to show off those nice earrings you just got or as a way to keep your neck cooler during the hot summer. Simply tie your scarf marginally behind your ear cartilage to create a basic. But at the same time classy turban style that will make your earrings pop.
Knotted
This one requires a bit more work, using either multiple scarves twisted together. Or a weaved headscarf you want to wrap it firmly around your head and pin it in place. This gives a twisted style with a trendy vibe.
Inner Cap and Scarf
Perfect for bad hair days or being worried about your hair coming loose from the wrap. An inner cap gives a classy look that keeps you comfortable for your whole day. If you pair a contrasting cap to your scarf you can create bold and clean looks. That of course will add some variety to your look.
Chest Covering
If you need a chest covering scarf, look for something with a lot of fabric. Keep the top tight to your head while letting the fabric drape across your chest and shoulders. This also gives a pretty laid back and airy look to your hijab while keeping you modest.
Turkish Style
For something very different try looking a Turkish style hijabs, you need a cap to use in order to wrap the scarf into it. No pins required. It has a more defined look and if you get a good thick silk scarf can add some shape that will suit any type of face.
Eastern Wrap
