How to take care of your hair when you wear the Hijab? It is essential to take care of your hair. Whatever the type of hair (straight, wavy, curly or tightly curled), our hair is confined under our headscarves, we must take care of it to keep it healthy.

How to choose the least irritating hijab for your hair?

It is true that wearing a veil can damage hair in the long term. However, there are materials that can help you limit hair breakage, such as silk.

Indeed, silk is synonymous with softness, it prevents hair from being damaged easily and also protects it. In addition to being a natural material, it is hypoallergenic. You have understood, this material will be your ally for healthy hair!

For women who wear the hijab, your Ina Collection shop will offer you silk hijabs. Discover, now, a large choice of Medina Silk Hijabs.  In addition to being your ally for your hair, Medina silk hijabs give an elegant and comfortable look thanks to their high quality fabric. 

This material is the ideal alternative to silk. Your hair will be able to breathe better than with a pashmina hijab, which is mainly made of cotton. Choose a hijab made of silk or Medina Silk, which will preserve the beauty of your hair while remaining fashionable.

How to avoid damaging your hair under the headscarf? 

Hair is considered one of the symbols of a woman’s beauty, and it is important not to neglect this asset. We tend to forget to pamper our hair due to lack of time, knowledge or simply laziness.

We suggest 5 steps you should not neglect before putting on your hijab:

1- Detangle your hair with a brush or a wooden comb. The latter will limit hair loss and above all will style your hair in a less aggressive way than traditional brushes.

2- Apply a serum that will deeply moisturise your hair for the day.

3- Opt for satin scrunchies. They preserve the length and avoid hair breakage.

4- Don’t pin your hair back. This is the last thing you want to do, otherwise you’ll lose your hair more easily on your forehead.

5- Favour protective hairstyles like braids. Your hair won’t get caught in your scarf.

By applying these steps, you will find your hair less dry and damaged. It is obvious that the result will be seen in the medium term. The more you opt for these steps, the better the results will be. Patience is the key to success.

When and how to do your hair routine? 

In order to achieve beautiful hair, it is important to establish a quick and simple daily routine that will do your hair a world of good.

First of all, you should avoid unnatural products as much as possible. A 100% natural hair routine without preservatives and silicones will do your hair the world of good.

Before developing your routine, remember that your hair needs to be moisturised and nourished.

To carry out this routine, create a mini schedule for yourself, don’t overload it (don’t impose too many things on yourself, otherwise your routine won’t last in the long term).

Find products that suit your hair type (dry, curly or frizzy hair)

Zinc supplements can also help.

Our tips for taking care of your hair

We have selected 10 tips for you:

1- Remove the scarf when you are at home. You are not in a public space, so you can leave your hair free.

2- Massage your scalp. This will stimulate hair growth and give you hair volume.

3- Use a silk cap when you only have a cotton scarf for example.

4- Tie a turban or scarf when you make your home care preparations.

5- Opt for a shampoo adapted to the nature of your hair.

6- Avoid the Chignon hairstyle that is too tight under your scarves.

7- Do not tie your veil or cap too tightly. This is not good for your blood circulation.

8- Favour satin pillowcases, to avoid damaging your hair while sleeping, and they are good for your face.

9- Rinse your hair with cool water, your curls will come out even more beautiful.

10- Use a headband when you don’t have a scrunchy or if your hair is in your face. The aim is to avoid the usual elastics that tend to break your hair.

Use a homemade hair mask

With all the precautions and care we apply, we all need a little hair boost from time to time to bring our hair back to life. Even better when this little boost is 100% natural! With our 4 homemade hair mask recipes, there are no nasty surprises, just results. And to make them even more spectacular, treat yourself to this treatment break once a week, and leave it on for at least 20 minutes each time, under a warm towel or even a  shower cap to open up the hair scales as much as possible and make the mask penetrate deeply.

Always use quality ingredients, without additives and organic if possible.
