Okay so I'm back.
Where was I?
Aaaah...Turkish hijabs!
In my last post, I posted a lot about the background of the hijab and some videos showing how the Turkish hijab can be worn.
One of the main details which i missed out, however, was getting the cap (front part) of the Turkish style hijab perfect. I wear my hijab in the Turkish style occasionally and Alhamdulillah it usually turns out fine. However, I always find that the front part either never sticks up right, or stays well during the day.
As you may have already noticed, the Turkish style hijab has a pointy, or sticking up front cappy bit (Please do let me know if you know the proper name for it). This cap bit is quite difficult to achieve, soooo....I found a tutorial on YouTube showing how to get it right. The tutorial is done by 'EbdDesign' who gives good advice and tips on hijabs.
Here is the video link:
Well I hope that was helpful. At the end she mentions maybe hair spraying your hijab. This actually does work, and if it does stain, it can just be washed off when you wash it.
Another way you could hold the cap up is to use a piece of plastic, fold it and insert it into the cap, to give the rounded shape. You could then hairspray the hijab, and take the plastic out. or just leave the plastic inside.
The sister doing the tutorial used a pointy pin to fasten the hijab at the neck. I have done this before...when i couldn't find a safety pin (I'm always misplacing things), and to tell you the truth, I found it quite uncomfortable. I do prefer safety pins, and find that if you overlap your hijab and the put the safety pin on, then the hijab will not get damaged.
Anyhowww....I kept looking for YouTube videos for Turkish hijab tutorials. And ave just realised that I have been writing this post for almost an hour! And the reason for that is I kind of get carried away once I start looking for tutorials on YouTube. I started to look at one tutorial, which led to the next, which led to the next, and the next (there was quite a few 'nexts'), and then I returned back to writing this post....and they all lived happily ever after. Hehee!
Anyways....before I keep torturing you with my dry sense of humour, i shall proceed...
Here is another link also from EDBdesign:
This is a basic tutorial. But I like it, as she shows the hijab from all the way round, especially showing a new way to pin it at the back.
In the video info, she has written that you can get good silk hijabs from the designer Armine. And tadaaaa....Armine has its very own tutorials!
I really do like the hijab used in this tutorial, and the style seems quite easy to do.
I do find the model kind of freaky at 32seconds. She's so still like a mannequin, and then randomly she smiles. Quite scary! Lol!
That bluey hijab is beautiful! (I want it!)
I love how she hasn't folded the front part of the hijab, and the cap doesn't have to stay up. It would be quite easy to create the point without having to fuss with getting the fold right.
Okayy...That's all the tutorials I could find for the Armine hijabs. I know, I know...I've just bombarded you with tutorials. But I think they are all just too cool to miss :)
And if I might add...the second to last pink flowery one is gorgeous (I am a pink fan :)).
Rightio...I shall stop this post here, and InshaAllah be back very soon with more hijaby stuffs :)
