3. If you have a round face, let the hijab remain a bit loose around the sides to flatter the face. You should also show more of the forehead and style it in such a way that the face appears narrower from the face sides. The scarf should also be a little loose.

4. Choose a tight Turkish style or regular Pashmina style hijab to look great if you have a face that is oval. The oval face is however easy to flatter with different styles and you should therefore have an easy time wearing your hijab and looking great.

5. Pin the hijab just below the chin to as to increase the jawline if you have a face that is heart-shaped.
