Hijabis! If you're hijab is ruining your decor, maybe you need to change the way you wear it, because maybe it's not your style. As unique humans, we have different traits and a face shape too. So, if you're mistaken on wearing a hijab that is not complementing your face shape, this is the time to change the way, and you will see everything sorted. Let's figure out the best hijab style for your face shape so you could make a real difference.

1. Round Face Shape

Hijab Style: Volume and Angled Draping

Having an innocent round face can give you amazing looks, but for wearing hijab, you have to practice a little effort to make your hijab resonate with your face shape. To elongate your face shape so you could create a better hijab look, you have to bring angles and balance your natural, soft curves. Choose a hijab style that adds volume at the top and drapes at an angle. You should have to wear your hijab a little higher, adding height and making your face appear longer.

  • Try: A turban style or a hijab that’s loosely draped around your chin.

  • Tip: Avoid tight wraps that cover your cheeks. Instead, opt for hijabs with volume at the crown to create more angles.

2. Oval Face Shape

Hijab Style: Versatile and Balanced

Lucky you, with an oval face shape, any hijab style can complement your face shape. It is because every face shape has to give a hijab look, which makes the face look oval. The versatility of this face shape is unlimited! You can pull off just about any hijab style. Your face has balanced proportions, so focus on enhancing those natural features.

  • Try: A simple wrap or a draped hijab that hangs loosely on the shoulders.

  • Tip: Go for softer, natural drapes that don’t overpower your features.

3. Square Face Shape

Hijab Style: Soft, Flowing Drapes

So, if you've got a square face shape, softening sharp angles of your face will elevate the game. Opt for hijab styles that add softness and roundness around your face. A more flowing style will add flow and help balance the stronger features of your jaw.

  • Try: A hijab with a loose drape at the sides or a soft, layered wrap.

  • Tip: Avoid sharp angles when wrapping the hijab, and instead focus on softness with rounded drapes.

4. Heart-Shaped Face

Hijab Style: Full Coverage with Volume

Gotta a heart-shaped face? In this face shape you have a forehead that is wider and narrower than the chin. Goal is the same to balance out the proportions! For this option to add volume at the sides of your face to balance the narrow chin and hide the extended part of the forehead. 

  • Try: A layered hijab style with volume around the sides, or a loose wrap that drapes at the neck.

  • Tip: Avoid styles that add too much height at the top of your head, as this may accentuate your forehead.

5. Long/Rectangle Face Shape

Hijab Style: Soft and Rounded

A long face shape benefits from soft, rounded hijab styles that add width and balance out the length. The key is to avoid hijabs that are tightly wrapped around the face, which can emphasize the length.

  • Try: A hijab style that covers the neck and adds volume on the sides, like a loose wrap or a draped scarf.

  • Tip: Avoid tall, sleek turban styles as they can elongate your face even further.

6. Diamond Face Shape

Hijab Style: Full Coverage with Volume at the Chin

Hijabis with a diamond face shape, what your face looks like is that the angles of your cheekbones appear prominent. A hijab that offers fuller coverage at the jawline and adds balance will work best for you.

  • Try: A hijab that wraps fully around the chin with volume at the sides to soften the angles.

  • Tip: Angular styles are more likely to ruin your look, opt for soft, rounded wraps.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
