Tutorial Hijab Ala Paris

This post is a continuation of my previous post about how I wrap my hijab in simple style using my square scarf.

From the feedback I got, some people thought that my tutorial is rather hard to be understood because of the lack of the pictures. I'm sorry for that. That issue had crossed my mind before I published the tutorial, but I thought I had made a clear explanation on the tutorial, which in reality, some people think it's still hard to imagine without pictures.

I'm sorry, my lovely Readers. Here, I made some pictures that explain how to wrap the square scarf. Hope it would help and you love the style! :)

I will re-write the step by step on how to wrap the scarf:

1. Fold the square scarf into half (rectangle shape).
2. Put the scarf (that has been folded) on your head with one side of the scarf is longer than another side, and pin it below your chin.

3. Take the edge of the longer side of the scarf, then pull it over your head. Then pin the upper end-tip of the scarf on the top of your head (not too high) with a brooch or any other hijab accessories. 





The hijab wrap will look like this:



It's simple, right? Is this something you'd like to try?

You can see me wearing this style here.

Not like the conventional square-hijab wrap that fold the square-hijab diagonally into triangle shape, this style need to fold the square-hijab into half (rectangle shape). This style is very easy and quick to do, and I love how the scarf drape in the front. It also adds more cover-ups to the bossom area.

Here's the step by step:
1. Fold the square scarf into half (rectangle shape).
2. Put the scarf (that has been folded) on your head with one side of the scarf is longer than another side, and pin it below your chin.
3. Take the edge of the longer side of the scarf, then pull it over your head. Then pin the upper end-tip of the scarf on the top of your head (not too high) with a brooch or any other hijab accessories.

Very simple, right?

This hijab wrap will look like this:

From the back:

Bring the flowing part (of the scarf) at the back to the front, like I used to.

Or, let it be like that, but if you do this, it'd be better to take a bit part of the scarf from the back and pin it on your shoulder to make sure your neck doesn't show up (especially if you wear clothes with low neckline).

In my city, Yogyakarta, square hijab/scarf is the most popular hijab worn by hijabis. And usually they wrap the hijab in the same style, from day to day: they fold a square hijab/scarf diagonally until it becomes a triangle shape, and then they wrap it on the head in the same style like this:

There are a very little variations in how they wrap the square hijab. Or, (this one is also popular) they just wear a ready-to-wear hijab/headscarves with a very limited in variations, too.

Sometimes, or in a special occassion, on the top of the square hijab (after it wrapped on the head) or on the top of ready-to-wear hijab, they put some decorations or accessories, or they do some layering, to make "this same style" prettier.

Pashmina doesn't so popular here. As far as I know, there are just two or three hijab stores that sell pashmina, includes the big stores. Most of them, sell square scarves and ready-to-wear hijab... and also at the local market, most of hijab they sell is ready-to-wear hijab.

I think one of the reasons pashmina doesn't very popular here is because mostly the pashmina have a quite thicker textile-material compare to scarves. It doesn't suit to the hot weather here, and also its basic wrap. Pashmina's basic style usually worn by rolling it up on the head two times, so it would be thick and lots of layer. I think, we should introduce lots of summer-style pashmina here... :) with a thinner pashmina's material, of course.

Rectangle hijab is also rare here. Mostly just the old women wear rectangle hijab with a bonnet underneath.

Below is the video from Amena, a very inspiring lady, that shows us how to wrap a square hijab in asymmetrical style. Before I watch this video from Amena, I think that a square hijab/scarf has a very limited style, compared to rectangle hijab or pashmina. But, after I watch this video, I'm impressed. It's a very unusual wrapping for the people here, but it looks beautiful. Very inspiring! We could experiment with a square hijab to create many of beautiful unusual-style.
