00:00Ramadan Kareem, this is Rabia Zee, designer from Dubai.

00:09I'd like to take you through a few different styles of the shayla and hijab for this season.

00:15They're fun and playful.

00:17It's definitely stuff you can do yourself at home.

00:20We're going to start with the base, a headband and cotton jersey.

00:23Just slip that on to give it the volume, which most of us prefer in the Gulf.

00:29For more volume, we use more than one.

00:32Then the headband goes over, covers the plume, and that's the base.

00:36Style one is our signature jersey wrap.

00:40I'm using a net jersey.

00:42You want to even out both sides, place it right in the center, and you just simply wrap it around.

00:49The beautiful thing about the jersey is you don't require pins.

00:53It's our most popular look.

00:54You either let this hang, or if you want more volume,

00:57take the other side and we do the same thing.

01:00Just go over.

01:02This is another signature look.

01:04It's called the bandana hijab.

01:06This is a fitted jersey sports hijab, and it's different than the other one-piece hijabs

01:13because this was draped to the shape of the head for a better fit and a better fall.

01:20This is also great for sports, even if you don't have a base on.

01:24Then you take a wrap.

01:26Preferably, I would go with prints.

01:29I would go with bright colors.

01:31Put the wrap over, then you just bring it right back.

01:34Very simple, very easy, and simply that.

01:37You just tie it like a bandana.

01:39You can give it a bow.

01:41You can leave one side longer.

01:47This is a great way to break down the print.

01:49It's a fun, young, hip look.

01:51Great for traveling as well.

01:53This is also a wrap.

01:55This is made of pure silk.

01:57Because of Ramadan, we've actually made it longer so that it has a better coverage.

02:02You can really play around with the color and see which one's your favorite,

02:06which one suits you better.

02:08That's what I like about the tie-dyes.

02:10It sometimes feels like every time you can have a new scarf on

02:14depending on where exactly you start your scarf.

02:17It's best to have a base, a cotton jersey base,

02:21because silk tends to slip.

02:24We again take this side and we go over.

02:30Just to show you little fun ways you can dress up your shayla.

02:35You can do them by things that are lying at home, like a headband.

02:39You can use a brooch.

02:40If there's any crystal involved, then it does look better with a line.
