You just opened your mail and got your hands on a gorgeous new VELA Hijab—that perfect blend of luxe fabric, stunning prints, and effortless flow. Let’s be real: keeping your hijabs fresh, smooth, and looking brand new takes some effort. The moment you unwrap a new hijab, the challenge begins! From stubborn wrinkles to fabric snags, hijabs really go through a lot!
No worries—these essential hijab care tips will help keep your hijabs looking fresh and flawless for years to come!
1. Wash With Love (And The Right Method!)
Not all hijabs are created equal, and neither is their care routine. Just like our skin care routine, our hijabs need their own care method. Here’s a quick breakdown:
🫧 Chiffon & Modal: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent or use the delicate cycle in a laundry bag.
🌿 Jersey & Bamboo: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.
⚡ Satin & Silk: Dry clean or hand wash with extreme care—these materials are delicate!
2. Say No to Fabric Softener! 🚫
Fabric softener might seem like a good idea, but trust—it coats your hijabs, making them lose their breathability and softness over time. Stick to a gentle detergent to keep them fresh and flowy. With these simple steps, your hijabs will stay as good as new!
3. Dry Like a Pro
Air drying is your best friend! Lay your hijabs flat or hang them on a padded hanger to avoid weird creases. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading (because nobody wants a dull hijab).
4. Wrinkle-Free Magic ✨
For silky-smooth hijabs, steamers are game-changers! If you don’t have one, use an iron on low heat and always place a thin cloth between the iron and your hijab. When in doubt use a wrinkle-free spray. No direct heat!
5. Store With Care 💕
To avoid snags and creases, fold your hijabs neatly or hang them on velvet hangers or what I would like to call them, hijab ladders/stands. Drawer dividers also work wonders for keeping everything organized!
6. Pin Smart, Not Hard!
Pins are lifesavers, but they can also be fabric enemies. Use no-snag hijab magnets or ultra-thin pins to avoid damage. And if you love sharp pins, keep them away from delicate fabrics like satin and silk!
7. Treat Stains ASAP!
Spilled coffee? Makeup smudge? Dab the stain immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not rub! Rubbing pushes the stain deeper. If needed, give it a gentle hand wash ASAP.
Keep Your Vela Hijabs Fresh & Fabulous!
Taking care of your hijabs doesn’t have to be a chore. With these simple tricks, you can keep your Vela Hijabs looking flawless, feeling soft, and lasting longer. Because a well-loved hijab is a happy hijab!
