What is Hijab?
The rules for hijab are discussed in the Hadith, an oral tradition which accompanies the Qur'an and helps proscribe the ways of Muslim life. According to the Hadith, men and women should behave modestly in situations where they meet each other. Modest behavior includes averting your eyes from someone of the opposite sex, speaking with respect to one another, and not touching members of the opposite sex.
The Hadith also includes rules for dressing. Both men and women are directed to cover themselves when they are in public areas. For men, following hijab means that the body should be covered at a minimum from the navel to the knees in loose, thick clothing. Some interpretations of the Hadith suggest that the covering should be longer, from the navel to the ankles. All agree that the modest covering should be worn at all times, including prayer.
For women, the rules of hijab are more complicated. There is a great deal of debate in the Muslim world about how strict the rules are for women. Some Muslims interpret hijab as a minimal covering of the face and body, while others believe that hijab requires a complete obscurement of the entire body in heavy garments. In a basic form, the Hadith states that women should cover their bodies in loose, thick clothing to prevent the shape of the body from being seen. Hair and the upper chest should be covered, a rule many women accomplish by wearing a headscarf, also called a buknuk or khimar.
More strict interpretations of hijab include an understanding that the face should be covered as well. Perhaps the most enveloping is the Afghan burqa, which not only covers the face but also covers the eyes with a netting sewn into the burqa. Another alternative is the boushiya, a veil which covers the face entirely but still allows women to see. In other countries, a niqab is used. A niqab is a scarf which is tied over the face but has a small slit for the eyes. Tied over a headscarf, it covers the entire head.
There has been much debate over hijab in the Muslim and non-Muslim world. Some critics feel that hijab is very restrictive for women, while some Muslim women say they actually feel more comfortable in hijab. Most non-Muslim countries have ruled that if a woman chooses to wear hijab, she should be permitted to do so. Muslim policewomen, lawyers, doctors, aerobics instructors, and teachers can be seen wearing hijab in many countries.

How to Wear The Hijab: "Side Twist" Style
Salam ladies! We are kicking off the beginning of how Hijabis can wear different styles for their Hijabs. The first of these styles is called the "Side Twist" style. The end product is a twist on the side. Here are the steps to get this amazing look.
1) Start off by getting a Shayla style Hijab, not square but rectangular and tie a knot at the back of your head.
2) Grab one side of the ends of the Hijab and wrap it around your neck.
3) Wrap it until it reaches the top of your head, pin it down.
4) Bring a very light weight Hijab and put it on top of the hijab you have on already.
5) Make the exact same knot that you did at the first step with this light weight hijab.
6) Seperate the hijabs into two different sections.
7) Start wrapping by grabbing one side of the different hijabs. Make a twist with the two hijabs.
8) Close the two hijabs by tieing a knot at the end.
9) Finish up by picking up the twist and pining it to the side of your head.
There you have it, great style for special occasions. How do like this style? Would you ever wear it?
