Hair care by Hijabis with 10 tips

So, after talking to several Muslim women who have been wearing hijab since puberty, many other discussions have taken place in their homes: about menstruation, hormonal changes, what the hijab means and why the choice is ours. use it A recurring theme continues to resurface, however, no one (or most) has really been able to talk about hair care under the hijab. The fact that we don't see our hair on a daily basis doesn't mean that wearing a tight bun or ponytail to keep them out of sight every day is the answer. Because we seem to give more emphasis to our faces, for example, with all the products of the world to perfect it, but don't we invest in anything related to hair care?

If I think about my day, I spend about 90% of my time in my hijab, if I have a long day at work and I'm late at home, I spend 9 hours after jumping into bed, allowing my hair to breathe in a space moderately open, nothing outdoors (without going crazy) just enough oxygen that an average room can hold without open windows.

Here are 10 tips for hair care for a Hijabi
1. Sleep on a silk pillow.
Not because you are a queen boujiee, even if you are, they say that our hair is much more sensitive than we might initially think, the silk pads help your hair control sebum, an oily secretion of the sebaceous glands. Therefore, traditional and standard cotton pillowcases can absorb sebum during the night, which causes our scalp to produce more oil in the process to compensate for what has been lost. You may not see a change during the night, but it is always a small and constant step that builds up over a long period of time.

2. Know your hair type and which products work well
Therefore, there are hundreds of combinations of hair types, trichology, scalp and hair study organized into categories, so that some products can be better used for certain types of hair. But even then it can be very difficult to tell what works for you, since your hair story is one thing, do you dry your hair every day? (try no) How many times have you colored? Do you need a cut every month? How dry is it? Is it a combination of hair? Find out which products work and which are nothing but tests, errors and recommendations. I would always say that the more the product is natural, the better, the less artificial chemicals in the hair, the more you can begin the rehabilitation and detoxification process of all the chemicals you have collected and collected over the years.

3. Form a routine for your hair type
Needless to say, once you've dropped the products, it's time to formulate your little routine. This can vary greatly, from planning a time of the week when you literally have the excuse that you can't go out because you're "washing your hair" to brush them while it's wet in the shower. The frequency with which you wash your hair also depends a lot on your hair type, some would say that those with straight hair can be washed every day, but use a balm every 4-5 days or one or two for a "light" style . People with wavy or curly hair can wash three times a week while conditioning themselves once or twice. But all this is subject to the type of hair. Find moments of your week, like a daily schedule, to take care of your hair, after going to the gym, after going to a party and straightening up. This is about you. You have the freedom and creativity to build a dream routine for waves of silky shiny curls or straight braids.

4. Test the hijab material and mistakes appropriate to your hair type
Listen, I'm just as supportive of Whitechapel's hijabs as the next person. There is hardly anything modest to spend too much on a piece of cloth. But I think you can say we're right about it. I think it's really an amana to take care of our hair, Allah has entrusted you with your braids, what you want to put is in you. The material is everything, just as we would not use certain types of material depending on our skin type, we should treat the hair in the same way. If cotton suits you, become an expert on hijab cotton. Silk, satin, shirt, find breathable materials for hijab, whatever your subject, think less about what the blogger looks like or tells you to choose, depending on what he seeks to sell you and a lot. More information on what you need. The Hijab style is a very personal choice, not for what it looks like, but for the way it feels.

5. Plan the weather outside in your garden
This is the most serious point that I think I will address: the nature of our environment really affects our skin and our hair in a way that we do not even notice. We are drowning when it is covered all the time, and then we only see the light at night, the artificial light. Your hair will naturally acclimatize. I can only imagine comparing it metaphorically with a plant that never drips, it's just here with its tongue that breathes with such incredible thirst. It is absolutely necessary to leave the Hijab from time to time, if you are in the United Arab Emirates or the Middle East in general, go to the city on its women's beaches. Here in the UK, when the sun comes up, we spend most of the time in the park. Take this time so that your hair feels a little pain, that they feel the wind, that you also breathe oxygen. It can also bring you to another point. Why not try a little gardening to make your hair care routine even more enjoyable? Having a living room and a cup of tea with flowers and roses seems divine, no? If you do not have a garden, ask a friend who is sitting in your own, find a secret roof for a moment, what you choose will give your hair a moment of breathing.

6. Stop pulling your hair back
Many women complain that their hair shrinks after years of using the hijab. I do not think Muslim women have had a problem with time. This is a new phenomenon that has emerged as a result of the YouTube space that can be serious Informed We all remember to have grown up in hijab tutorials, pushing us to tie our hair with braids and bread, by placing a buna (a clip used at the back of the head to create a hijab-like appearance from the back). I think anger originated in the gulf, an emerging trend to make women look longer. But we are in 2018, no longer showing humans that we really have hair under our hijab. We protect what we have, to avoid getting lost, that many girls start complaining and finding micro-needle and microdegradation treatment. Let's start by putting down bread and braids. Put a shelter that you can find in any bookstore or Islamic mosque to repair the hair and deflect your child. 2018 is about comfort, style, health and personal care in hidden places, taking care of the person who is purely yours, and not because others can see you.

7. make a sudden
So, with the fear of being bald in the spirit (the Islamophobes are relaxing, we are not really bald here), a great solution is to cut the fire if you are one of those women too busy to think about the amount ideal of curves. you need in your ponytail, before leaving every day, and you want to hang a hijab without worrying about your hair. I would say that the bang was cut, in fact they are great this season, and women like Claudia Winkleman (my muse of life) really make it culturally incredibly acceptable to wear a bang without looking like a Parisian kid.

8. Try to use oils to stay hydrated.
Your hair is your crown of glory, we do not wear the hijab because it is ugly and carefree. It is therefore easier to cover it every day. Taking care of it can make the wearing of the hijab transforming. Knowing that you have a bed of silk roses on your head and choosing to cover it anyway is the real act of jihad. After having sweated, Betty ended up in a brothel because you never have time to do your hair, do you? Your hair is also reliable as an amanah. Thus, referring to point 2, you will certainly find the right oils for your hair type and will create a process of trial and error avoiding those that leave it dry and bristly and others that drown it in fat .

9. hair masks
I think the hair masks were the fury of 2017-18, it's about taking a little time after a good shower, putting the hair in a little argon oil, to tie them in a good nice towel and sit with a good book breathing the right kind of moisture. There are many masks on the market for every type of hair. See point 2 for how to find a mask suitable for your hair type.

10. braid
This guy goes back to Step 2, your braided hair type is still a very common tool in all areas to keep your hair at bay. Create waves in the very smooth hair that is not always there, giving a little volume, ask frizz or even a way to keep the hair organized under the hijab during the day, so as not to disturb you with rebellious strands . your eyes while maintaining the maintenance of this airline. Braiding and braiding hair is a softer way to hold back hair and they look great without braiding / weaving, even when you're at home, ready to reveal your crown in glory!
