How to Style Your Hijab According to Your Face Shape
Share
🌸 For Round Faces
If you’ve got soft cheeks and a sweet round face, you’re not alone — it’s one of the most common shapes! The trick here is to add a bit of length so your face doesn’t look too “puffed up” in photos or the mirror.
Go-to styles:
Try draping your hijab a little longer on the sides or go for that under-the-chin wrap that flows down. It helps create a bit of a frame. Just avoid styles that add too much volume around your cheeks — no one wants that “balloon” effect.
Fabric tip: Chiffon or georgette is perfect — it’s soft, flowy, and won’t add bulk.
🛍️ We recommend: Everyday Lightweight Hijabs – easy to wear and flattering.
đź’« For Oval Faces
Ah, the oval face — lucky you! This is the most versatile shape, and you can pretty much pull off any hijab style you like.
Style ideas:
Try a turban for that fashion-forward look, or keep it classic with a neat wrap and an undercap. Whether you pin it or let it drape, you’re golden.
Fabric tip: Go ahead, experiment! Satin, cotton, chiffon – it’s all fair game for you.
🛍️ Our pick: Premium Chiffon Collection – soft, graceful, and dressy.
đź”· For Square Faces
If you’ve got a broad forehead and a strong jawline, you’ve got a beautiful, bold face. Your goal is just to soften the edges a little.
What works best:
Loose, flowy hijabs that curve around the face. Try folding the front into a soft V or round shape. And definitely don’t tie it too tight under the chin — it can make the jawline stand out even more.
Fabric tip: Modal or silk blends work like a charm — they drape well and don’t stick.
🛍️ Shop suggestion: Soft Modal Hijabs – gentle and flattering.
❤️ For Heart-Shaped Faces
You’ve probably got a broad forehead, sharp cheekbones, and a cute, narrow chin — what a combo! The aim is to balance the top and bottom of your face.
Style ideas:
Pin your hijab slightly off to the side to “break up” the width of your forehead. Go a little loose around the jawline to soften the point at the chin. Just avoid styles that pull everything back too tight.
Fabric tip: Lightweight pleated styles or soft viscose work beautifully.
🛍️ Try this: Pleated Elegance Hijabs – structured but soft.
đź“Ź For Long or Rectangular Faces
If your face is longer than it is wide and more on the slim side, the key is to create a little width.
Best styles:
Go for wider wraps with horizontal folds or layers. Avoid anything that adds too much height — like high-top turbans or extra long tails. A square drape or side layer will balance things out.
Fabric tip: Cotton blends or slightly thicker fabrics add volume in all the right places.
🛍️ Best bet: Classic Jersey Hijabs – cozy and balanced.
🧕 Some Real-Life Tips:
✔️ Always wear an undercap – no slips, and it makes styling easier.
✔️ Magnetic pins save your hijabs from tiny holes.
✔️ Choose hijab colors that go with both your outfit and your skin tone.
✔️ Don’t forget – your smile is your best accessory.
đź’¬ Common Questions
Can I wear a turban with a round face?
Yes! Just pair it with a low drape at the neck and skip the top puff.
What’s a universal hijab style that works for all?
A soft wrap with an undercap. It flatters every face and never fails.
Should I think about my makeup while styling hijabs?
Absolutely. Some hijab styles really bring out your cheekbones, eyes, or lips — especially with the right colors.
đź’› Final Thought
Your hijab should reflect you — your mood, your energy, your beauty. When you know your face shape, it just makes it easier to pick styles that make you feel confident and comfortable. There’s no “wrong” way — just the way that makes you feel good.
