For Muslim sisters who pursue dignity and comfort, linen fabric hijabs (headband) is an ideal choice in hot season. It is naturally breathable, moisture wicking, and perfectly meets the needs of faith and practicality.
However, the unique fiber characteristics of flax also bring challenges such as shrinkage, wrinkling, and slipping. How to keep your beloved linen headscarf company for a long time, always showing elegance and cleanliness? This deep protection guide is written specifically to safeguard your faith and beauty.
1. Gentle cleaning
Hand wash in cold water
Key point: Always use cold water (or up to 30 ° C warm water). Hot water is the primary cause of flax shrinkage.
Method: Pour cold water into the basin and add neutral or mild specialized detergent (avoid strong detergents, bleach or softener products). Gently press and stir the headscarf, soak for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly with water.
Treat gently and avoid harm
Key point: It is absolutely forbidden to rub, twist or scrub with force, as this can cause fiber breakage, pilling and deformation.
Method: After rinsing, gently press with your hand to squeeze out excess water. Do not wring dry like a towel.
Natural air drying and shape preservation
Key point: Avoid high temperature baking in the dryer! Natural drying is the best choice.
Method: Gently shake off the headscarf, shape it, lay it flat on a clean towel or hang it in a cool and ventilated place (avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading and becoming brittle). Ensure that it is completely dry before storing.
2. Wrinkle resistant and smooth
Ironing while wet yields better results
Key point: Ironing works best when the headscarf is slightly wet (about 8 minutes dry).
Method: Set the iron to the “linen” position (high temperature) and make sure to turn on the steam function. Ironing should be done from the inside of the headscarf (in contact with the skin) or covered with a thin cotton cloth, moving at a constant speed to avoid staying and causing burns. Ironing along the fabric texture yields better results.
Storage anti wrinkle tips
Key point: Proper storage is the key to reducing wrinkles.
Method: After completely drying and ironing, fold or lay the headscarf neatly and store it in a drawer or special box. Avoid squeezing or stacking heavy items at will.
3. Stable wearing
The wonderful use of inner hat/headscarf straps
Key point: Solve the problem of linen’s smooth surface easily slipping off.
Method: Wear a lightweight cotton or mesh under cap to increase friction between your hair and linen fabric hijabs.
Use Hijab Magnet/Magnet Pin: Secure the headband or clip to the hair or inner hat, then cover it with a linen hijab to provide additional anchor points.
Choose appropriate styles and materials
Key point: Some styles and blended materials are less likely to slip off.
Method: Choose linen fabric hijabs with elastic edging or anti slip strip design. Consider linen blended products (such as those containing a small amount of cotton or viscose) that increase grip while maintaining the advantages of linen.
4. Daily care
Sunscreen and fade resistant
Key point: Intense ultraviolet radiation can cause flax to turn yellow, brittle, and lose its color.
Method: Try to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Choose a dark place to store.
Anti friction pilling
Key point: Reduce friction with rough surfaces such as backpack straps and rough chair backs.
Method: Pay attention to the daily activity environment and make adjustments if necessary.
Rotating use
Key point: Avoid using the same headscarf too frequently.
Method: Prepare more items for rotation, so that each linen hijab has a “rest” time to extend its overall lifespan.
5. Special stain treatment
Timely treatment: The earlier the stain is treated, the easier it is to remove.
Local cleaning: For stained areas, gently tap with cold water and use a small amount of neutral detergent. Do not rub extensively to prevent the spread of stains or damage to fibers.
Stubborn stains: Consider using a mild stain remover suitable for linen fabric, and be sure to test it in an inconspicuous place first.
Seeking professional assistance: In case of difficult to handle stains or valuable headscarves, it is recommended to consult a professional laundry shop.
