Hijab Care Guide
Learn how to wash, dry, steam and store every Amanah hijab without losing its softness, colour, shape or drape. This hijab care guide covers the Classic Light Jersey Hijab, Premium Bamboo Jersey Hijab, Premium Liquid Jersey Hijab, Premium Luxe Jersey Hijab, Premium Viscose Modal Hijab, Classic Soft Chiffon Hijab, Premium Luxe Chiffon Hijab, undercaps and Hijab Magnets.
Always check the product care instructions first. In most cases, cold water, a gentle cycle, mild detergent and low heat are the safest choices. The fabric-specific steps below make everyday hijab washing and storage simple.
Hijab Care Essentials
Use these steps for most Amanah hijabs, then follow the fabric-specific guidance below.
• Wash in cold water with similar colours on a gentle cycle, or hand wash.
• Use a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers.
• Place lightweight modal and chiffon hijabs in a mesh laundry bag.
• Do not wring or twist. Reshape gently while damp.
• Lay flat or hang to dry; use only low tumble heat where the product instructions allow it.
• Store every hijab completely dry, folded or on a smooth hanger, away from direct sunlight.
Treat makeup marks quickly by dabbing with cold water and mild detergent. Test any stain treatment on a hidden area first.
How to Wash Jersey Hijabs
Cold washing protects the softness, stretch and colour of Amanah’s four jersey fabrics.
• Classic Light Jersey Hijab: hand wash or machine wash cold with similar colours; lay flat or tumble dry low; iron on low to medium heat.
• Premium Bamboo Jersey Hijab: wash cold with similar colours using mild detergent; avoid fabric softener; lay flat where possible; iron on low heat.
• Premium Liquid Jersey Hijab: wash cold with similar colours; lay flat or tumble dry low; iron on low heat.
• Premium Luxe Jersey Hijab: wash cold with similar colours; lay flat or tumble dry low; iron on low heat.
Avoid high heat because it can weaken stretch fibres and change the hijab’s drape. Store only when completely dry.
How to Wash a Modal Hijab
The Premium Viscose Modal Hijab is made from 100% viscose modal, so gentle handling preserves its lightweight softness and flowing drape.
• Hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
• Use a mesh laundry bag and wash with similar colours.
• Use mild detergent and avoid bleach.
• Do not wring or twist the fabric; press out water gently.
• Lay flat or hang to dry.
• Steam lightly or iron on low heat if needed.
Modal can develop natural creases during wear and storage. A light steam restores the smooth drape without flattening the fabric.
How to Wash Chiffon Hijabs
The Classic Soft Chiffon Hijab and Premium Luxe Chiffon Hijab are lightweight polyester styles. Gentle washing prevents snags, pulled threads and changes to their polished drape.
• Hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
• Place the hijab in a mesh laundry bag before machine washing.
• Wash with similar colours using mild detergent; avoid bleach.
• Do not wring, twist or tumble dry.
• Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat.
• Steam lightly or iron on low heat if needed.
Keep jewellery, rough zips and hook-and-loop fasteners away from chiffon during washing and storage to prevent snags.
How to Care for Hijab Magnets
Hijab Magnets secure jersey, modal and chiffon without pins, holes or pulled threads. Simple storage protects their smooth coating and reliable hold.
• Remove both magnets before washing any hijab.
• Wipe them with a clean, dry, soft cloth; do not machine wash or immerse them.
• Keep each pair joined when not in use.
• Store in a small pouch or box, away from moisture and hard impacts.
• Keep high-strength magnets safely away from children.
Slide the two halves apart rather than pulling them directly away from each other. This is easier on the fabric and the coating.
How to Wash Hijab Undercaps
Regular washing keeps undercaps fresh while gentle handling protects their stretch and shape. The Premium Bamboo Undercap is 100% bamboo, while the Classic Jersey Undercap is polyester.
• Hand wash or machine wash cold with similar colours.
• Use mild detergent and a mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle.
• Avoid bleach, harsh stain removers and high heat.
• Reshape while damp, then lay flat or tumble dry low.
• Iron on low heat only if needed.
• Make sure the undercap is completely dry before storing it.
Rotate between undercaps instead of repeatedly wearing the same one. This gives the fabric time to recover between washes and helps preserve its fit.
Hijab Care FAQs
How often should I wash my hijab?
Wash a hijab when it has absorbed sweat, perfume or odour, or when makeup and skincare are visible. A lightly worn outer hijab may only need washing after several wears, while an undercap that sits against the hair and skin usually needs washing more often. Gentle, less frequent washing can help colour and fabric last longer.
Can I wash jersey, modal and chiffon hijabs in a washing machine?
Yes. Amanah jersey hijabs can be machine washed cold with similar colours. Use a gentle cycle for the Premium Viscose Modal Hijab and both chiffon hijabs, and place modal or chiffon in a mesh laundry bag. Hand washing remains the gentlest option. Always follow the individual product care instructions.
How do I remove makeup stains from a hijab?
Treat the mark as soon as possible. Dab—do not rub—with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent, working from the outside of the stain towards the centre. Rinse gently and repeat if needed. Test any stain treatment on a hidden area first, especially on dark, modal or chiffon hijabs.
Should I air dry or tumble dry my hijab?
Air drying is the safest choice for every hijab fabric. Lay modal and chiffon flat or hang them to dry, and do not tumble dry chiffon. The Classic Light Jersey Hijab, Premium Bamboo Jersey Hijab, Premium Liquid Jersey Hijab, Premium Luxe Jersey Hijab and both Amanah undercaps may be tumble dried on low when needed. Avoid high heat.
How should I store hijabs to prevent wrinkles and snags?
Store hijabs only when clean and completely dry. Fold or roll jersey and modal loosely, or use a smooth, snag-free hanger. Keep chiffon away from jewellery, rough fasteners and sharp edges. Protect every fabric from direct sunlight and damp spaces, and store Hijab Magnets paired in a separate pouch rather than attached to the scarf.
