What makes a lycra scarf different?

Lycra blends contain elastic fibres, so the fabric stretches slightly, springs back into shape and wraps comfortably around the head. That stretch helps the hijab stay in place through the day, which means less readjusting. Simple wraps also come together quickly and look tidy.

When is a lycra scarf a good choice?

It suits long workdays, university, travel and any activity that keeps you on the move. If you need a hijab specifically for exercise, take a look at our sport hijabs.

How do you choose colour and print?

Plain shades such as black, beige and navy go with almost everything. Subtle prints liven up single-colour outfits. Light tones brighten the face on sunny days. For other fabrics and textures, browse our full range of scarves.
