Modesty Doesn't Make You Any Less of A Girl/Woman

Ok, so just to remind you, I'm only a fresh hijabi, since June to be exact. I hate to think that the only reason I would really care for my hair, as in making it look nice would be well, just so that it looks nice in front of other people. I really do love to care for my hair, style it etc, blah, blah, blah. I liked all the different things I could do with my hair, all the different styles I could twist it into, the clips and pins to decorate it.


So I'm going to try and get back into that again, it's just hard with how busy I've been lately, and whenever I do find a minute I usually like to spend it doing something else that I haven't been able to do in a while, like watch TV, hang out with friends, see that movie that came out a couple of months ago....

As hijabis we have to remember that we are no different than any other girl on the planet when it comes to beauty. Just because we decide not to show it off to the world, doesn't mean we have to be modest about it at home too. Actually at home is the one place where we should be able to show off all we want. We're in our privacy, we can do what we want within the boundaries that Allah has set for us, and I think we forget that we should take full advantage of that.

All of those clothes that you see these social icons wearing, that you secretly wish you had, go out and buy them and wear them at home! I think you have the most freedom if you're married. I'm not married so I wouldn't know, and this is only my assumption. Even though we don't have to wear hijab around our dads, brothers, and other women, we still have our 3wra, or aioura, to cover. If you're married, that no longer applies really. So get as dressed up as you'd like. Go out and buy those jean short shorts, with that cute halter top and strut your stuff around your house all you want. You don't need lingering eyes of strangers to make you feel confident about yourself, wearing clothes that make you feel that way is even better!

Don't feel like wearing hijab, or becoming a hijabi, means that you have to forbid yourself from these things. In the privacy of your home, you're free to do what you want when it comes to your clothing and hair, just don't forget about your 3wra. Which is perfectly fine, don't forget that guys have 3wra's too ;p. So we're not alone when it comes to that boat.

Go out and buy the outfit that would go perfectly with those earrings that you haven't worn in ages. It's your right and you should take it!



Salam girlies! See you soon inshallah!
