Hijab Review:

Floral Frenzy was the first one I tried on, I was immediately attracted to is rose pattern and colours which are deep and stunning. The scarf itself was good size, quite wide and long in length. The middle of the scarf has a red seam running through it, which adds to is uniqueness. I tried it on a few times, and came to the conclusion that it was more secure with a underscarf bonnet on, due to the silky material and needs securing with pins. I wore a black underscarf, and firstly wore it wrapped around my head in a basic style (above pic)

Secondly wore it a  different more casual way. I pulled the scarf back at the neck, and then brought the scarf round to the front, with gold hoop earrings for a more funky look (above). This is a style that you can adjust to make it looser/tighter around the neck, and wear a highneck top with if desired.

The Purple Dust scarf was a more evening/occasion one, although I am sure you could also wear it casually depending on how you accessorize it. I loved this colour, and also the border at the front of the scarf. I firstly wore this again, in a basic wrap style, with the black bandana, and gold hoop earrings. With a generous width and length, it allows for some layering at the top, and bottom so while you can see your earrings, the neck is covered.

I then wore it with a black rose detailed head band, to see how you could add other accessorises to it for an occasion. I literally pulled the headband over my head as you normally would, before wrapping the final layer of the scarf.

I Love both of the scarves, they are unique in their own way and also affordable. Floral Frenzy (£8) can be found on their facebook page here, whilst Purple Dust (£10) is also available in different colours here

At the moment they operate through their facebook page which you need to make sure you like to see all their updates, and their new stock.

We wish Al-Hayah all the best in their new business and inshallah lots of success :)
