Best hijabs on Amazon, from jersey to chiffon

A hijab is a head covering worn by Muslim women and a sought-after clothing accessory for many.

With so many colours, materials and sizes to choose from, there are many decisions you need to make when choosing a new hijab - and we're here to help.

Choose breathable and comfortable fabric and consider your own personal needs, advises TikTok influencer Ruhi Akther. “Juggling life with four children and working full time I look for an easy to wear hijab style according to the weather and where I'll be during the day," she says. "So, it’s got to be versatile but chic."

From square Turkish hijabs that measure 90 x 90cm to long-length rectangular styles that can go up to 200x70cm, hijabs come in various sizes and measurements but ultimately the size you opt for is a personal preference.

Hijabs can come in varying fabrics including popular chiffon, soft jersey, muslin, silk and georgette. Slightly heavier materials like viscose are popular during cooler seasons, whereas silk and chiffon are favoured in the summer.

Styling a hijab is an industry that’s rising in popularity and is evident in the rise of influencers doing so on social platforms. Styles include:

The Amira is ideal for beginners with its easy slip on hijab

The Esarp, a square piece of silk material that can be worn as a headscarf and styled appropriately around the head and shoulders which originates from Turkey

The Turban style, pinned or unpinned

Akther says evergreen colours like black, white, blue are essential. Otherwise, let seasons, events and your own personal style dictate the colours you go for.

It is essential that hijabs and the under-cap are washed regularly because they are in contact with the hair so weekly washes for all the hijab worn throughout that time is a must.

Always check the information written on each hijab fabric whether it is machine washable, hand wash only or requires dry-cleaning.

There are several ways how the hijab could be worn and can be styled according to a person's preference. Here's a simple over the shoulders hijab style guide:

1. Wear an under-cap over the head

2. Drape the hijab on over the under-cap to keep the scarf in place

3. Material should hang over the shoulders with ratio of 50:50

3. Secure in the middle underneath chin with a pin or hijab magnet

4. Drape the right side of the hijab over the left shoulder

5. Drape the left side of the hijab over the right shoulder
