An independent, growing directory of hijab and modest-wear brands. What each is known for, who it suits and roughly what it costs. We name the trade-offs too, not just the good bits.
Lately one thing keeps coming up in our messages and all over TikTok: the instant chiffon hijab. The kind that goes on in about 30 seconds, with a sewn-in undercap and built-in magnets, so there are no pins and nothing to slip. We were sceptical, so we tested the hyped ones. One brand kept coming out on top, and it is the first one in the list below.
An instant chiffon hijab with a sewn-in undercap and built-in magnets, on in about 30 seconds with no pins and nothing to slip.

If you have only ever fought with slippy chiffon, this is the easiest fix we know.
