Head Covering in Real Life
March 2017 – When we think of head coverings we often picture women from specific
religious backgrounds with very “old fashioned” or “counter-
Here are some very “every day” and “real life” examples of head coverings for the modern, yet modest, woman . . .
Basic Bandana
This style is especially popular among house wives and busy moms, though it looks good on just about anyone in any setting. It’s quick and simple; all you need is a simple bandana folded into a triangle and tied in a knot at the back of your head. You can even get the bandanas in silky textures with different fun prints for a less traditional look.
Of course, several women complain that the basic bandana makes them look too much like a pirate, which is why I like this particular style, where some of the hair is left hanging out in front for a little “accent” and a more feminine appearance.
Around the House
This wide headband style is also perfect for around the house or for the physically active woman. You can make it out of the same bandanas mentioned above or actually purchase wide cloth headbands, lightweight sports headbands, or even elastic backed headbands if you’re looking for a better fit.
Dressed Up or Dressed Down
Taking a long scarf and tying it in back so the ends hang down long under the hair can be a good “any setting” style. Whether you’re going out in public, or staying close to home this style is both nice and simple. Especially ideal for days when you don’t know what to expect, it’s a really good “any occasion” style.

Head coverings don’t jut have to be scarves and wraps, they can come in the form of hats too! How about a nice cap for sports or outdoor events?
Fashionable Casual Look
This style is one of my personal favorites. It requires a longer scarf, and especially looks good with a scarf that has corner tassels.
Here are a few links for corner tassel scarves on Amazon:

Business Woman
Here is a more sophisticated look that can work well for business meetings or settings that require a more professional look.
Working Woman
If your work place does not allow you to wear hats or head scarves, you could can still wear the scarf around your neck and then put it on during your break periods or in private when you are praying. Wearing the scarf around your neck is still considered professional, and if you tie it loosely it can be very easy to put it on and off depending on the setting you’re in.

Also known as the “rabbit ears”, this style looks really cute and is very simple.

Prayer Shawls
A lot of women have a prayer shawl that they will take with them to church or use in their personal prayer times. If you get a light weight shawl you can drape it over your shoulders and wear it as a normal part of your dress and then lift it up to cover your head during times of prayer.
