A beauty blogger shares her go-to hair care hacks for Hijabi girls.
Many women cover their heads with hijabs, niqabs, and khimars today. And just as it always happens under any hair wrap, the hair gets susceptible to dryness and breakage. So, you may ask yourself – how do I wear my hijab and keep my tresses healthy and strong all the time? A Muslim beauty influencer knows the answer and offers her ultimate hijab hair hacks for your at-home care.
After wearing a hijab all day, your hair surely craves some loving and caring touch. And even if you still don’t know where to start in your hijab hair care, there are some easy steps you can follow right now. A lifestyle blogger and content creator, Leena Snoubar, dishes on her tried-and-true Hijabi hair care tips.
To all the hijab-wearing queens out there, have a peek at the top five hair care hacks!
One basic hair care tip for Hijabi girls is to use silk scrunchies instead of those regular (and so tight!) hair ties that cause too much tension around the hairline and lead to breakage and fallout. The same goes for the silk pillow. The hair just glides across the pillow with no tangles, allowing you to sleep without damaging your hair. And the best thing is, it’s also good for your skin. A double benefit, indeed!
Don’t pull your hair straight back when tying it under your hijab. Instead, alternate your hair parting – switching between side and middle parts every day. This trick helps to redistribute the tension on the scalp and prevent hair breakage.
Hair serums are the holy grail in the hair care universe. So, whether you experience hair thinning while wearing a hijab or want your locks to grow thicker and healthier, consider investing in these products. Leena Snoubar suggests using OUAI Scalp Serum and Divi Scalp Serum to stimulate hair growth and make sure your scalp gets all the nourishing elements that prevent dryness.
A scalp massager is another great tool for a cleaner and healthier scalp. You can use a shampoo brush with silicon bristles on your wash days to get rid of dandruff and stimulate blood circulation. It’s a great exfoliation technique for greasy-prone locks and a sweaty scalp under the hijab.
Choosing the right hijab undercap is the easiest way to avoid breakage, frizz, and split ends caused by friction between your hair and the hijab fabric. The beauty influencer is rooting for natural materials like cotton or silk that are breathable and eco-friendly.
