  • Question
    How can I beautiful when I wear a hijab with my uniform?
    Community Answer
    You can still look great with a hijab! If you are at the right age, I would recommend using subtle makeup, like lip gloss or a bit of contour. I would also recommend making your eyebrows and lashes look great. Apply castor oil or Vaseline to your eyelashes every night and they will grow, and pluck your eyebrows regularly to make sure that they are neat. Also, apply cucumbers to your eyes for 15 minutes to reduce eye bags and dark circles. It will also give you a glow. But mostly, hold your head up high and be confident.

    Community Answer
    I go to a Catholic school as well, and I don’t advise breaking rules, but pay attention to the dress codes and go to whatever extent you can. I like to style my hair, throw hair ties on my wrists, and wear a braided belt. Looking for loopholes may be an option, but don’t go crazy!
  • Question
    What should l do if l wear a jumper?
    Community Answer
    Make sure the jumper fits properly, otherwise it will be loose, baggy, and shapeless. If the one you have is too loose, try altering it to make it fit tighter in areas you want to accentuate. Try wearing a collared shirt underneath so that the collar from the shirt sits on top of the neck of the jumper. Whether you wear a shirt underneath or not, you can always roll up the sleeves on the jumper to give it some more style.

    You can use bracelets and necklaces and hair accessories that match. Just make sure not to glam it up TOO MUCH. You don't want to overdo it.

    How should I wear my hair if it is shoulder-length?
    Community Answer
    My hair is also at my shoulders. I like to wear low ponytails with some strands pulled out at the front for a more carefree look. You can also do a high ponytail. Another easy one is half-up/half-down. You can always use a scrunchie or some other colored hair tie to spice it up.

  • Question
    If my dress code does not allow my to cut my hair stylishly, how can I make my hair look good?
    Community Answer
    Make your hair soft and voluminous with conditioners and shampoos. Apply coconut oil every night to make it thicker and healthier, and avoid using heat at all costs. If you have straight hair, braid it every night and undo them in the morning to achieve wavy or curly hair (if you want). Experiment with hairstyles that will frame your face shape and make your jaw line stand out.

  • Question
    How can I look good if I wear a hijab, and my school doesn't allow me to wear makeup?
    Community Answer
    You could try to get away with wearing some natural makeup. If that isn’t an option, I would recommend going for a funky color or pattern with your headscarf, and, if you can, roll your skirt up a little (but not too far).
  • Question
    How can I keep my shirt tucked in all day?
    Community Answer
    There are a few options. First, you can wear a belt or tighten it if you already do. This can help keep the shirt from slipping out. If you want to be super crafty, you can actually sew it to a pair of bike shorts and wear it like a baby jumper. If that feels like too much, it's really easy to just safety pin the hem of the shirt to the top of your pants.
  • Question
    What if the other girls make fun of me? I know a lot of the time people say to ignore them, but at some times it can be difficult to!
    Community Answer
    I know it can be difficult, but it's really the best way. If you want to stand up for yourself, just say something back along the lines of, "I look great, why don't you worry about yourself!" If you can project confidence, you'll be a lot less likely to get picked on. And of course you can always tell a teacher if things are getting out of control.

    Anusha Kirankumar
    Community Answer
    Style it up a bit! I have short hair, which I wear in a half-up half-down hairstyle. If you have long hair, I would suggest a side braid, bun, or a twist at the top of your head, like the article says. You can also wear cool scrunchies, headbands, and other hair accessories.
