Behind the Screen: Hijab styles and spring!

Behind the Screen

The weather is warming up quite a bit and over the last few days it has been in the high 30’s which has really lifted my mood.

I’ve been really busy with work and plan to get back to filming more hijab fashion videos and hijab style tutorials, but I wanted to know if there are any specific topics you’d like me to talk about on video or even certain hijab styles?

A very generous reader sent me a book of hijab styles from Egypt that I plan to incorporate into the tutorials, but I have to admit some of them look a little odd and seem like they’ll take up too much time.

I personally am not a fan of over-the-top hijab styles because they don’t look good unless you’re going to some super fancy party or are a tween, and I honestly don’t have more than 3 minutes to get ready without someone needing something from me it seems. :)

But I guess that’s where things differ at least in the U.S. versus the Middle East.
