I am pleased to announce the release of Alya Designs' FIRST video tutorial!

A lot of hard work went into the making of this tutorial. I wanted to make sure that the video is short, simple and easy for you to follow. 

In this tutorial, I am using a square hijab (tudung). The style uses easy techniques. Step-by-step instructions are included in some scenes. If you need elaborate explanation on some of the steps, simply scroll down for more info.

If you are a hijab newbie or want to learn how to style your hijab properly, this tutorial is for you. :)

1. Start off by wearing an inner scarf to keep your hair in place.

2. Wear a Tudung Structure to make the peak of your hijab stay up. Place it upright near the hairline. Make sure the label is on your left when you put it on. 

I am using a 12" Dark Brown Tudung Structure to match the colour of the hijab.

3. Take a square hijab and fold it diagonally to form a triangle. 

4. Place the hijab over the Tudung Structure. Make sure both ends are of the same length.

The hijab used is made of chiffon. It's flimsy and can be difficult to style. Using the Tudung Structure will help to keep hijab in place, and not to mention it gives an illusion of a slimmer face. :p

5. Fold the two sides.

6. Gather the two sides and pin them together with a small brooch around the neck area.

I prefer rectangular shape brooches since they are more secure. Fancy shapes like flowers are beautiful but they often scrape my chin and have the tendency to come off when I eat or even sneeze!

7. Take one side of the hijab and bring it up towards the top of your head. 

8. Pin the edge of hijab with a ball head pin. Pin in downwards.

9. Pull the other side of hijab to the opposite shoulder. Pin it in place with a big brooch.

10. Style complete!

To make it easy for you to know what items are used for this style, I've compiled them in STYLE STUFF.
