First and foremost, remember why we wear hijab. It is to please Allah over everything. Here are a few tips to help you survive the heat while in hijab.
1. Choose the Right Fabric: Opt for lightweight, breathable materials like cotton, chiffon, or silk. These fabrics will keep you cooler than heavier materials like polyester or wool.
Our Crimples, Printed Era (NOT Bohemian Prints), Pleated, Opera, Studs, Signature Shimmer, Tassels, Silk-Hues, Lace-Edge, Luxury Georgette and Premium Chiffon, Cleopatra are all recommended for summers.
2. Choose Light Colors: Light colors reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it like dark colors do, so wearing a light-colored hijab can help you stay cool.
3. Use Fewer Layers: Try to wear your hijab in a style that requires as few layers as possible. The more layers, the more heat will be trapped.
4. Keep It Loose: Wearing your hijab a bit looser can allow for better air circulation, which can help keep you cool.
5. Stay Hydrated: It's essential to drink lots of water to stay hydrated in summer. This will help your body regulate its temperature more effectively.
6. Wear a breathable Underscarf: An under-scarf can help absorb sweat, keeping you comfortable and preventing your hijab from becoming damp.
7. Sun Protection: If you'll be out in the sun for extended periods, consider a hijab style that covers more of your skin to protect from harmful UV rays.
Remember, it's all about comfort and maintaining your personal style while also respecting your beliefs.
