they also sell jersey hijabs which imho don't need any pins to stay and are breezy and suitable for any season..

Assalamu Alaikum

Not sure where you're living, but if you are in the US, there are stores like kohl's, burlington coat factory, or any other department stores that sell cotton scarves that can be worn as a hijab..they're usually in the purse section of the store.

As for wrapping the hijaab, here's what I do..

1. If your hair is long, tie your hair in a low bun/ponytail, make sure your hair is secure in the front and the back.

2. Since you have an amira hijaab, I'm guessing it's 2 pieces, right? Put the smaller piece on, and if it's loose a little bit, you can use a large safety pin or hair tie to tighten it from the back.

3. Take the cotton hijaab or your long hijaab and secure it under your chin with a safety pin, then pull it back so it's tight around your head and it's not protruding from the front. You should have one long side and one short side of the hijaab now dangling on each shoulder.

4. Take the long side and continue wrapping it around your head slowly making sure you straighten it out as you go around..once you can't wrap it around anymore, secure a pin on the side.

5. If it's not covering your chest properly, just pull the part that's wrapped around your neck and adjust it.

That should be it (: When I wore hijaab, it took me a few times to get it 100% right..just practice in front of the mirror a few times when you're not busy, and you'll be able to get the hang of it. Everyone's head is shaped differently too, so maybe one way may not work as well for you as it would work for someone else. There are also hijaab websites that sell nice hijaabs, if you need any of those sites, let me know.


As for wearing long sleeves, why not try wearing a abayah? You could also wear nice sweaters or long cardigans. When the fall and winter seasons begin, just stock up on long sleeves since that is usually when they are sold..and when those seasons are almost over, they usually go on sale for really cheap if you are tight on money. So be on the look out for those types of sales. There's also islamic clothing online shops like http://www.shukrclothing.com/interna...aspx?sh_nrdr=1 which caters to muslimahs. (:

Let me know if none of what I said helped, I'll try to help as much as I can inshallah.

Here's a video on what I was trying to explain, start it at 3:13. The only differences is instead of holding it together under my chin, I put a safety pin, and when I wrap it all the way around (usually twice or 3 times is enough) I pin it on the side with a bobby pin. And then the part under the neck can be pulled down to cover your chest, giving kind of a draped look. There are other videos of more complex styles, but I think hijab should be simple and not attract a lot of attention.



Here's a really good website for hijaabs:

Also, if you know anyone who goes overseas a lot, you could ask them to bring some back with them. They're usually inexpensive in middle eastern countries and some asian countries.
