JAKARTA - Different types of fabrics also fall on the body. This also applies to the hijab. Not only the style and style, the hijab material also determines how the hijab looks on your head and how it frames your face. Choosing the right hijab material can help make everyday work more comfortable.

The famous Indonesian fashion designer, Ivan Gunawan shares his tips for choosing the right material to use as a hijab. As quoted from the Femina page, Friday, April 30, the following is how to choose the right hijab material.

Not Tangled

One of the things that is important to note is the neat appearance of the hijab. Moreover, hijab is used on the head, so you have to choose a material that is anti-wrinkle even though it is used all day long.

Ironing the hijab before wearing it so that there are no more fold lines is important. However, the type of material chosen can affect the final appearance. Choose an easy-to-iron material like voal or satin that is easy to iron and doesn't wrinkle easily.

Not hot

The tropical climate in Indonesia does make hijab users often feel hot and sweaty. Not only the hot sun and the humidity of the air, the selection of an inappropriate hijab material can add a stuffy feeling to the head.

Choose a hijab that has large fabric fibers that allow your scalp and hair to breathe. Even more so for those of you who use a multi-layered hijab.

The stuffy air can certainly trigger sweat, and if not treated properly, in addition to producing an unpleasant odor, it can also trigger dandruff and hair loss.

Doesn't Fade

Fading can be the most annoying thing. There are materials that fade when washed and also give unwanted colors to other materials around them, on the ciput or the inside of the hijab, for example.

Apart from color contamination, fading also sometimes makes the color of your hijab fade. As a result, the hijab worn will look dull. Because it becomes important to choose the right material.

So, how to solve it? Don't throw it away, wear it, but on a matching colored inner side, avoid mixing it with white so that the fading doesn't spread. And remember, separate them when you wash them.

Not slippery

Using a slippery hijab is really annoying. The slippery hijab print material often falls easily and has to be adjusted in position many times. For your own convenience, you should avoid choosing slippery materials when choosing a hijab.

The use of ciput or deep like 'ninja' can help you deal with the slippery material directly in contact with the hair which of course makes the hijab fall off easier. Another trick is to use a pin so that the position is steady and does not change position easily.

Can Hear Well

This one thing is often not realized. When wearing a layered hijab, the sense of hearing is often closed and it is more difficult to hear. This is because the fibers of the material are too thick and tight, so that the sound waves are filtered many times before they reach the sense of hearing.

For that, choose a material combination that still allows you to hear well. Besides of course it feels lighter, your ability when communicating at work is of course very important, not to be hampered by a combination of inhibiting materials.
