Hi Zolace fans! Welcome back to another edition of Hijab Fridays! Today we are bringing you a look that is a little different than what you might be used to. If you're tired of the same old styles day after day, then try this super simple, easy to learn look! And who would have thought you could create this flowing style with just a square headscarf?

Today you will need 1 brooch and just 3 pins. Plus, the Zahra Chiffon Square Headscarf. It's important to use this particular headscarf because of its light material elaborate (to give the flowy effect?)-- other scarves might be too heavy and not work for this. Let's get started!

Step 1: Take your scarf and place it over your head

Take your scarf and place it over your head making one side longer than the other. Here is where you can adjust how much coverage you want on the front, so feel free to experiment with different lengths. Use a brooch to secure the two sides together below your chin.

Step 2: Take the longer side and evenly bring it up

Now, take the longer side and evenly bring it up and around to the back half of your head, and pin it in place.

Step 3: Move the rest of the fabric forward and drape it

Move the rest of the fabric forward and drape it around the front of you, all the way to the back, where you can lift up the back half and place it on top of your head.

Final Step: Adjust the scarf so it hangs nicely.

Adjust the scarf so it hangs nicely, and then secure each side in place with a pin. And that's it! This look has a beautiful flow to it with the hanging sides, it's almost like you have the wind blowing in your hair. It's the perfect mix of elegance and freedom.

Pair It With

Because of the interesting nature of this look, don't overthink it-- try wearing it with a plain outfit. It will transform and uplift anything you wear with it. As an outfit option, today we've paired this scarf with a Keeping the Piece Dress and Greek Goddess Metal Belt. The style options are endless.

Thanks so much for hanging with us today. I hope you love recreating this look! Please share this video with your friends by tagging them in the comments below. Subscribe for more, and we'll see you next week for another edition of Hijab Fridays!
