The right hijab style for a round face makes the face look longer and slimmer without makeup tricks. The principle is to create vertical lines: add height on top and let the fabric fall long below the chin, instead of wrapping tightly around the cheeks.
Key rules for a round face
- Add volume on top. A voluminous inner cap or folds on top add height to the face.
- Let the fabric fall below the chin. Draped ends create a vertical line.
- Avoid tight wraps around the cheeks. Pressure on the cheeks makes the face look wider.
- Create vertical lines at the sides, for example by draping fabric to one side rather than wrapping in a circle.
- Choose flowing fabric, such as a soft pashmina, not stiff fabric that puffs out at the sides.
- Match the color to your undertone. The right color makes the face look brighter.
Hijab styles to try
- Layered pashmina: one side draped long, the other pinned over. It creates diagonal and vertical lines.
- Voluminous square scarf: folded into a triangle with volume on top, ends falling in front.
- Simple turban: great for casual occasions; add height on top to lengthen the face.

Hijab colors that flatter
Style sets the shape, and color sets the mood. The hijab sits right around the face, so its color strongly affects how your skin looks. Here is a real hijab color recommendation from Kira:
