Mo7gbat – Learn to tie tons of new hijab styles

I recently discovered Mo7gbat, (they should get an English interface up soon…) a product of 6 instructional cds with videos on how to tie different hijab styles. Really awesome. You’ll learn everything from the latest Spanish wraps, to Turkish style, and to Gulf style and everything between. This is really a must for all hijabis, both the ones that are all new to hijab and need to learn some basic wraps, and also for those of you that are tired of the same old hijabs every day….

The videos are in Arabic, but it is quite easy to understand most of the instructions without any knowledge of the language. Here is some of what you can expect, but there’s much more to it:

Artistic bobby pins as hijab pins

A very creative reader sent me this hijabilicious tip on how to make beautiful hijab pins of bobby pins;

There aren’t any specific “hijab” shops anywhere near me… So I’ve had to make do with safety pins and those boring ball tip pins to hold my scarves in place. One day, I came up with this idea (maybe i’m not the first.. ?) to use bobby pins. But since I’m a crafty sort of person, I wanted to spice them up a bit.

I bought some thin wire and some tiny beads and went crazy with them. I pulled one end of the wire through the end of the bobby pin and slipped the beads on over both ends of the wire so that it would sort of loop around and be more stable. Then I’d wrap the wire back around the top part of the bobby pin (the flat side works best) with the beads in groups of three or four… Really, you just need to experiment with it. I’ve made some with flowers on them as well, by looping the wire outwards. All you have to do is wrap the wire around into the shape you want and string beads on to it.

Pretty neat, huh? It looks cute, and so does the person making it too, masha’a Allah! Thanks for the great tip, I hope some of you guys found it useful too :)

Hijab on Ebay, Hijabi Tips

Premade hijab styles – Hijab Caps

For those of you that find yourself with a mess on your head each time you try to be creative with the hijab, or for those of you that are in a hurry, premade hijab style caps could be the solution. These styles don’t even require an underscarf, and they will stay on your head for sure. You can find cheap, nice hijab caps on Ebay, here are three of my favorite stores;

Asia Factory Outlet:

This store has got excellent service, fast shipping and gorgeous products.

Colorful Scarves:

This store specializes in making a cute “rose” on the back of the cap. It looks really neat, and can be used as an underscarf for that extra bump (gulf look)… This seller ships super fast, and his/her products are beautiful!

Primadhirana Collection:

I have yet to bid on this seller’s products, but it looks 100% safe, with a 100% satisfaction rate, and more than 1500 sells… The hijab caps comes in a variety of styles and colors.

My own Ebay rules: Avoid buying from a seller that has got less than 20 sales. Also do avoid buying from someone with less than 97% positive feedback. Never leave feedback until you received the item. Don’t be a hothead. If something takes time, or if something is not right, contact the seller in a POLITE way. Most sellers are more than willing to help solve smaller issues. Happy bidding.

Would you wear hijab caps?
