You wear your hijab with pride and confidence. That's wonderful, but it also presents a bit of a challenge for your hair. Here, we'll show you how to give your beautiful hair the attention it deserves and how to care for it properly.
Did you find your perfect hijab at LIA and order the matching bone at the same time? Just like with your headscarf, you've made a great choice for your hair. We'd love for you to get in touch and give us feedback on your experience with our products. We always have helpful information for you to use in your daily life and to ensure you feel comfortable with our products. Today, we're giving you valuable tips on hair care under a headscarf.
5 tips for women who wear headscarves:
- Sleeping on silk or satin pillowcases
This isn't about showing off, but about pampering your sensitive hair. Silk or satin pillowcases help the scalp regulate sebum production. Ordinary cotton pillowcases unfortunately don't do this. Instead, they absorb the oily secretions so much that the sebaceous glands produce even more. Over time, you'll notice a significant difference.
- Buy high-quality, breathable hijabs
Scarves and headscarves made of polyester are a thing of the past. Now there are plenty of hijabs that allow your hair and skin to breathe. At the same time, materials like cotton, silk, and jersey are opaque. Hijabs made of bamboo viscose are the ultimate in softness and sustainability. They are beneficial for your hair and the environment in every way.
- Give your hair a break
Seriously: Your hair needs some sunshine and fresh air too. Otherwise, it suffocates from the many hours it spends under a hijab during the day and, at best, only gets artificial light in the evening. You should really go outside without a head covering every now and then. This way, it gets vitamin D and oxygen. Do you have a secluded spot where your hair can enjoy some fresh air and sunshine? Another idea: Have a casual chat at a friend's house who has the right garden, balcony, or sheltered terrace.
- Wash hair infrequently and with halal products.
Only cleanse your hair as often as necessary. Depending on your hair type, this should only be done every two or three days. Otherwise, it will dry out and lose its natural moisture. Use only natural care products that do not contain any questionable ingredients. You can be absolutely certain of this if you use halal cosmetics for your hair.
- Use rich hair oils and masks
These hair care products will help you strengthen your hair. The vitamins and proteins contained in olive, argan, or almond oils protect against breakage and give your hair a healthy shine.
