What is the Niqab

What is the Niqab

The Niqab is the Arabic name for a face veil and covers the entire face except the eyes.

The eyes are not visible with the burqa. The Niqab can most easily be worn over a khimaar. There are many different types of colors and styles of Niqabs. Usually the Niqabs are sold in dark colors so that it will be least noticeable.

Types of Niqab and fabrics

There are a number of types of the Niqab, namely 1 layer, 2 layer or 3 layer. There is the short version and the long version.

Versions that fall on your back as a triangle or in a round shape. There are also different types of substances in which these come. You tie the Niqab to your forehead using the sewn-in strings at the back of the head. Then you skip the layer or layers (depending on  model). Some Niqabs also have fabric that you can put over your head so that it falls on your back. It is best to experience for yourself what kind of fabric and what kind of design you like to wear most. The Niqabs are generally produced in fairly the same light, supple chiffon fabrics.

With food it is also a matter of experience and becoming good at it. If you are unable to do so, we have a good solution, namely our comfort niqab. This is a simple niqab where the piece of fabric under the eyes is sewn to the headband with elastic bands. This allows you to easily pull the bottom piece of fabric down while eating or drinking. This frees up the face from the eyes to the chin so you can eat and drink.

Niqab combine

It is an option to match your Niqab with your Khimar or with an abaya. It is not customary to combine the niqab with a blouse or skirt. The combination is generally with a black abaya or jilbab. However, it may happen that you want to quickly wear a niqab in an environment where there are many men. But this is not for regular use but for a certain short moment. It is best to use a Half Niqab or a Tie Back Niqab for this. These are compact and always fit easily in your shoulder or handbag.
