How to Maintain Healthy Hair While Wearing a Hijab

Wearing a hijab daily can sometimes present unique hair care challenges. From reduced airflow to friction and tension from certain hairstyles, your hair may require a little extra attention to stay healthy, strong and vibrant. With the right routine and carefully chosen fabrics, you can protect your hair while remaining comfortable throughout the day.

Opt for Loose, Protective Hairstyles

Tightly pulled buns and ponytails can place unnecessary stress on the hairline and scalp over time. Choosing looser styles, such as a low bun or braid, helps minimise tension while keeping your hair comfortably secured beneath your hijab.

Choose Breathable, Quality Fabrics

The fabric closest to your hair can have a significant impact on comfort throughout the day. Lightweight, breathable materials help reduce heat build-up while allowing your hair and scalp to remain more comfortable.

Long Awaited. Highly Sought After.

Our hijabs have earned a reputation of their own—pieces customers seek out, return for time and time again, and often struggle to find elsewhere. After years of being available exclusively in-store, they are finally available online.

From breathable modal and signature everyday jersey to luxurious fluid silks, each fabric has been chosen with intention for its comfort, drape and longevity. Our jersey hijabs, in particular, have become a customer favourite for their softness, effortless styling and secure fit, making them ideal for everyday wear.

Alongside carefully curated selections, you’ll discover exclusive house-made designs, developed in-house, produced in limited quantities and crafted to the same exacting standard as our abayas.

Never Cover Damp Hair

Before putting on your hijab, ensure your hair is completely dry. Covering damp hair can trap moisture against the scalp, which may contribute to irritation, discomfort and weakened strands over time.

Give Your Hair Time to Rest

When you’re at home, allow your hair to breathe. Letting your hair down and gently massaging the scalp can help relieve tension and support overall scalp health.

Keep Your Underscarves Fresh

Underscarves naturally absorb oils, perspiration and daily build-up. Washing them regularly helps maintain a cleaner environment for both your hair and scalp.

Prioritise Scalp Health

Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Consistent cleansing, hydration and occasional deep-conditioning treatments can help maintain stronger, healthier-looking hair in the long term.

A Thoughtful Approach to Everyday Wear

Simple habits practised consistently often produce the best results. Combined with premium fabrics that have been selected for comfort and performance, caring for your hair while wearing hijab can become effortless.
