With Dolce & Gabbana unveiling its new hijabi line, it is apparent that the world is beginning to become more and more accepting of women who decide to wear the hijab, alienating them less and less. In order to help you fully understand these women though, you must understand what they all go through.
Here are some things that hijabis experience:
1. Bad hijab days
Yes, it's a thing!
2. But bad hair days don't exist
No one knows what's going on under here...
3. Spotting another, more evolved hijabi and getting jealous
HOW DO YOU DO THAT WITH YOUR SCARF?!
4. Losing pins
You buy 500 and end up with just one you use all week because you have no clue where the rest are
5. Tans
In the summer, you get tanned and pretty, but as soon as you take off your hijab, it turns into a mask from hell
6. There's no such thing as "spontaneous plans"
You need at least a two hour notice to get ready before you can head out
7. Winter is what you live for
You sweat so much in summer, but come winter you're the warmest girl in the room with your head warm under scarf and your long sleeves keeping you cozy
8. Getting asked for a tragic backstory
"No, I wasn't forced to put it on as a child"
"Yes, I decided to put it all by myself!"
9. Having a million hijabs and still not finding one that matches
You have all colors and shapes of scarves, but there's always that time when you have to change your entire outfit to make it work
10. Employers from the 15th century
"So, are you planning to keep wearing the hijab?" Seriously?!
11. It's impossible to finding a dress you can wear as is
You either have to make 199,902 adjustments to make it #halal or just end up with a mum dress
12. The shock people get when you end up being cool
Because, as we all know, being a ~cool person and wearing a hijab are two mutually exclusive things
13. You're suddenly a representative of all hijabis, everywhere
If you are being criticized for what you're wearing, it's suddenly all women who now don't know how to be proper hijabis apparently
