With all the beautiful options to choose from here at Haute Hijab, I want to make sure you choose the fabric that's perfect for you and your lifestyle! Read (or watch) on to find out what hijab fabric is best for you, when to wear them and how to care for them to ensure you get the most out of your Haute Hijabs!
Everyday Chiffon Hijabs
The fabric that started it all! Our signature Everyday Chiffon Hijabs and Printed Hijabs are made of medium weight polyester and perfect for everyday use. The airy nature of chiffon makes it perfect for hotter weather and its elegant drape lends itself to effortless professional and formalwear looks. We recommend the use of an underscarf, particularly under the wrap, to avoid slipping due to the smooth nature of chiffon.
We also offer several colors in our Recycled Chiffon, seven to be exact! These hijabs were produced in partnership with Waste2Wear. Our recycled chiffon hijabs are made from 7-8 recycled plastic bottles to help reduce our carbon footprint while giving you the same sleek, polished look that's as light, crisp, and easy to care for as our signature chiffons you know and love. It has that same medium-weight feel of our Everyday Chiffons, and each recycled chiffon comes with its own QR code explaining the origin of the waste, the environmental report of production, and how it is made. They drape beautifully are are perfect for everyday looks as well as dressing up for more formal events.
Our chiffons work great with our No-Snag Hijab Magnets for that sleek, polished look!
Care instructions: Machine wash warm with like fabrics and colors. Tumble dry on low. For make-up or oil stains, spot treat with stain remover. No ironing needed.
Fabric content: Everyday Chiffon 100% Polyester; Recycled Chiffon 100% polyester made from 100% recycled plastic bottles
Premium Jersey Hijabs
Our Premium Jersey is a cult favorite and earned us the #KingofJersey title due to its perfect weight, stretch, size and quality. The best option for working out and for all things casual – think of it as your “go anywhere” hijab you can throw on and go! No underscarf or pins needed for this perfect fabric. Stock up, you’ll want this essential in all the must-have colors.
Care instructions: Hand wash or machine wash warm only with other scarves in like colors. Tumble dry on low. For make-up or oil stains, spot treat with stain remover. Due to the nature of the stretch fabric it will shrink up in the wash. Once ironed, it’s as good as new!
Fabric content: 95% Viscose, 5% Lycra
Bamboo Wovens
Our superior Bamboo Woven is made of a sustainably-processed bamboo woven fabric that feels like soft cotton and is beautifully soft to the touch. These wraps are great for everyday use and the styling options are endless with this versatile fabric, especially with it even being able to be styled without pins. Our superior quality Bamboo Woven will not pill after washing! Fold and put away immediately after use to avoid wrinkling. Wear our wovens all day, every day and especially during warmer months, as they feel light on your head and comfortable. Be sure to pair with our No-Snag Hijab Magnets to keep your woven hijab in the best of condition!
These beauties come in standard size – 74" by "27" and some of the colors also come in our maxi size – 78" by 39."
Care instructions: Hand wash or machine wash warm only with other scarves in like colors. Wash dark colors alone to avoid any possible color bleeding. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. For make-up or oil stains, spot treat with stain remover. Due to the nature of the woven fabric it will shrink up and needs a warm iron.
Fabric content: 100% Bamboo
Heritage Collection
Our Heritage Collection are silk twill hijabs that draw inspiration from Islamic architecture and heritage. They are specially designed with a subtle sheen and elegance that mimics the vintage hijabs of designer brands like Chanel, but are created to be worn as hijabs. We infused our brand’s vintage legacy with Islamic art elements to create the Heritage Collection. Each piece celebrates the Muslim woman confidently owning her heritage as she strides boldly into the future. Wear these to all your special occasions and formal events or as that special touch for an everyday outfit.
Care instructions: Safety pins are not recommended for silk hijabs as they may snag and create holes in this fine fabric. We recommend using our No-Snag Hijab Magnets, or a silk straight pin.
Dry-cleaning recommended. Alternatively, hand wash in cold or lukewarm water with mild detergent, and lay the hijab flat to dry. Iron the hijab on the reverse side of the fabric, ensuring the iron is on the lowest heat setting. Steam is not recommended as it may cause watermarks. Store your silk hijabs in a safe place free from insects and moisture.
Fabric content: 100% Silk
Perfect Satin Hijabs
Smooth and shiny with a liquid drape, our Perfect Satin is perfect for formal looks or anything that calls for something a little extra special. Our satin hijabs come in a medium weight that never feels heavy. Due to the smooth and slippery nature of satin, we recommend the use of an underscarf or non-slip hijab style. These lovelies are great for formal events but also are a dressy touch to any casual outfit.
Care instructions: Machine wash your satin hijabs in warm water with like fabrics and colors. Tumble dry on low. For make-up or oil stains, spot treat with stain remover. Iron on the lowest setting and on the matte side of the fabric – never the shiny side, as this can cause permanent damage.
Fabric content: 100% Polyester
HH Sport Hijabs
No more compromises! We created the HH Sport Collection with four styles - the FlexFit, Criss-Cross, Tech Wrap and Tech Cap. Each of these hijabs are made from groundbreaking S.Café tech fabric that offers incredible cooling, odor-repelling, moisture-wicking and breathability benefits you have to feel to believe. They have ergonomically designed seaming and come in two sizes (except for the Tech Wrap) to provide a secure and comfortable fit. These sport hijabs are also designed to feel completely weightless so that you're free to focus on your workout. Wear them when working out, doing any outdoor activity or even just to run errands around town, because they look and feel good!
Care instructions: Gentle machine wash cold inside a care bag. Lay flat to dry and do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean.
Fabric content: 38% Ice-cafe Nylon, 29% Polyester, 19% Nylon, 14% Spandex
Ultimate Underscarves
Crafted with leading fabric technology for comfort and coverage, our Criss-Cross and Classic Ultimate Underscarves are made of a beautifully soft, breathable jersey with built-in skincare benefits such as sun protection, moisture-wicking and anti-bacterial properties. A third style, the Barely There Underscarf, uses all-over poly net for lightest possible styling. Our Silk-Blend Satin Underscarf is specially designed with a satin on the inside and more ruching at the back to accommodate and protect natural hair. Our underscarves work well under all of our hijabs, but especially are great with our chiffons (Everyday as well as Prints), Heritages silks and our satins.
Care instructions: Machine wash on gentle cycle or hand wash with mild detergent. Lay flat to dry. 
Fabric content: Criss-Cross & Classic (front): 95% Bamboo & 5% Lycra; Classic (back) and Barely There: 100% Polyester; Silk-Blend Satin exterior: 94% Bamboo Viscose Jersey, 6% Lycra; satin interior: 64% Naia Acetate, 34% Silk, 2% Spandex
