#i think maybe people who wear cotton hijabs might have an issue w the tightness

[send-up-my-heart-to-you]

does wearing your hijab ever get uncomfortable physically? just from the tightness of it. I'm not sure how tight a hijab is because i've never worn one myself, but i had my hair in a bun all day with a bandana over top (bad hair day reasons) and I totally had a headache by the end. or does wearing it daily just mean you've gotten used to the feeling?

thanks :D

i think i have mostly gotten used to the feeling. actually, when i first started wearing it (cause i wear chiffon hijabs) my issue was that they werent tight enough. they kept slipping off and id have to keep bolting to a corner and crouch down to fix it while my friends / family stood around me protectively. or just hold it awkwardly until i got to a bathroom

nowadays, i think the only reason id get a headache is if its hot out and i go out in a hijab. i tend to wear lighter materials but god does it get hot.

i do sometimes get an issue when wrapping my hijab (i do it like the girl in this video except i dont tuck in the loose ends the way she did) when i pull it too hard around my head, it ends up leaving a red line below my chin if i wear it like that. i used to do that regularly (to make it look neat + in an attempt to make it not slip off) and i still have a faintly visible mark on my neck from that lol.

nowadays, tho, i make sure to rewrap it if i feel like its too tight <3
