I am surprised you use the words "hijab" and "attractive" in the same sentence, because if my knowledge is correct, Muslim women should wear hijab to hide their attractiveness, so it should not be attractive at all. But what I see at least in western European countries, and as the picture you have posted illustrates it, some Muslim women wear hijab, but they use a very provocative make up in the same time.
Sure they are hiding their hair, but women don't seduce with their hairs, rather with their eyes and lips, and those features are usually very well accentuated, so I am confused really, about the role of hijab.

[grega239]

Yea, the contradiction is.. wow. its like using a condom to get pregnant

[Klara-Hitler]

I wore Hijab for 6 years in Iran.

It isn't a fashion choice, it is a religious dress code made specifically to make a woman less attractive, in order to turn men off and make women unable to seduce them.

[BlueCoyote]

Very unattractive. A lot of girls have pretty hair... I wanna see that.

Also, I don't like it when people wear religious symbols in public. I find it a little obtrusive. I'm not saying it should be illegal or anything like that but I still find it obtrusive. When I see a girl with a big crucifix neckless or a hijab, I immediately get turned off. If your private beliefs are so important to you that you need to parade them around in public and make sure everyone sees it, we most certainly don't fit together.

I usually find it attractive. Most girls I've met who wear hijabs have been very feminine and sweet-natured, as well as just being pretty. Especially in comparison to Western women who become increasingly less-so as a result of feminist brainwashing.

I do find it kind of funny that some are saying that it's not supposed to be attractive - attraction isn't a choice and just because it's not supposed to be doesn't mean that men aren't gonna find it attractive anyway. It just doesn't work as intended.

[Anonymous]

I don't think it has to do anything with fashion, or clothing. It has to do with the woman's faith. Yes, she can dress it up, or down depending on the outfit, but its not something someone wears to make it popular. It shouldn't matter if its attractive or not. If you enjoy the company of the woman wearing it, then who gives a fuck.

[hannakaram]

Definitely unattractive.
And the purpose of Hijab and they did it to hide women's beauty, and to be unattractive.
So Men will not look at her.
So if you want to be attractive, you shouldn't wear Hijab.
I really can't understand, how girls can think to wear Hijab to be attractive, even the reason of Hijab is to hide women's beauty.

[who-am-i]

my best friend says the same exact thing!!! like almost the same words thats sorta creepy..
but she is beautiful either way sooo

[hannakaram]

Who wear Hijab must decide first why she will wear it.
For the real purpose of Hijab or as religion sign, like Christmas wearing cross, it's a religion sign that they are Christian.
If she is beautiful by wearing Hijab, she must do something else to not be beautiful, to much with the real purpose of wearing Hijab.
But if she will wear it as religion sign that she is Muslim, and she doesn't care about the real purpose of Hijab, so she will put Make-up, wearing leggings with Hijab and do what she like to be beautiful.
In Islam, Hijab is for hiding the beauty, so men will not be seduced by looking to her.
You can't put Hijab with beauty.

[who-am-i]

so you are saying that she dress like a hobo because she is naturally beautiful?
she rarely wears make up, she always wears modest clothing
why can't you put on hijab with beauty

[CubsterShura]

Hijab is not meant to be attractive or unattractive. However it would definitely look good on someone if the color flatters her skin, or the pattern suits her outfit etc.

[CubsterShura]

And some of my hijabi friends are really beautiful.

[Noora1]

Can I answer this question even when I’m a hijab myself, or... 😅

[curiousnorway]

Yes.

[Noora1]

In how I see it, it has nothing to do with whatever that person wears a hijab or not. If that person is generally attractive then she will be seen as attractive whatever she wears the hijab or not.

[who-am-i]

you are very pretty mahallah (thats the word right?)

[who-am-i]

or is it mashallah

[Noora1]

@who-am-i
You can say it as masha’allah or mashallah. by the way thanks 💕

[who-am-i]

oh okay ty

[Noora1]

Your welcome.

[performerwannabe]

For whatever reason people wear it, it's their choice and I respect it. I will never bash someone or judge them for wearing it.
With that being said, I don't like anything that hides someone's hair, I feel like hair is a small part of who we are.

[Tron5678]

It isn't a fashion thing pls just because a few designers show it off on the runway doesn't become a part of fashion. Its a religious dress and that's it

Forcing it to become a fashionable thing is not going to make it more acceptable in the western society.

[MlleCake]

I find many hijabi women to be quite beautiful and the ones I have known have been very nice people.

It certainly doesn't make them look ugly to me.

Even if I find modesty standards like this to be sexist.

[vald9inches]

yes very beautiful

[MlleCake]

@vald9inches That's not Hijab.

[vald9inches]

@HaveNoName someone's feelings are hurt lol i am just pointing out the obvious

[vald9inches]

@MlleCake yea but its a slippery slope! If it was a pure islamic government every women would be covered up this way and guess what? Every women that wears a Hijab would be ok with it... just saying...

[MlleCake]

@vald9inches You know, I can disagree with what is behind a custom (it's pre-Islamic custom that some adherents of Islam, Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism adhere to. Modesty practices play a role in many world religions) and still not call the people who follow that custom ugly.

It's not a slippery slope to approving of keeping women in purdah. It's just a recognition that not everyone lives as I do and I don't have to be 100% hateful to them all the time.

Beautiful women wear all kinds of clothes, always influenced by society, religion, culture, no matter where on Earth they are. You can be beautiful wearing anything.

[vald9inches]

its as you said its purdah its not clothing it is meant to cover them all up along with their humanity as if they are farm animals or material possessions. They are not women or human anymore. We live in the 21st century and have no need for such barbaric backward inhuman "traditions". i understand you want to respect cultures but to call inhumane acts as culture is a grave mistake

[MlleCake]

@vald9inches I still don't have to say it's ugly though, and choose not to.

[HaveNoName]

@vald9inches sorry to burst your bubble but no, it does not do anything to my feelings. I just don't like ignorant comments, and ignorant people imagining their opinions matter.

[vald9inches]

@HaveNoName hardly ignorant i lived in the middle east for many years and know by first hand experience what their religion is all about. I am sorry to inform you but you are the ignorant one who is virtue signaling in a petty attempt to gain recognition for ideas you don't own. pretty sad and pathetic if you ask me lol

[HaveNoName]

@vald9inches what's with the "lol" after every statement?

[HaveNoName]

No wonder you couldn't differentiate between a Hijab and a Burqa.

[HaveNoName]

To be honest, looks like some dude is sitting inside that full body cover... Not that it's relevant to the topic.

[vald9inches]

@HaveNoName none of what you said is relevant lol

[tartaarsaus]

Not for me. One of the most attractive things of a woman to me is hair. Beautiful hair looks absolutely amazing. Take it away and you lose that appeal, making it not attractive to me. So no, hijab is not attractive to me.

[Anonymous]

I'm not a Muslim and dont agree with the Muslim religion but I think hair scarfs can be attractive if worn a certain way like in a bun and sometimes with cute floral designs on it. If you decorate yourself with earrings and make up and wear a floral maxi dress it will look cute too.

[NickoN]

disgusting,
religious relic from 15 centuries ago imposed on women to subjugate them and to belittle them

absolutely abhorrent, it should be banned in all western countries
if you want to wear it go to an Arab country where they still stone women and show off your "hijab fashion"

[9teen]

Hijab isn't supposed to be attractive. It's there to decrease attractiveness as the neck and the hair of a woman play a big role in attraction.

[9teen]

Make up and hijab are very contradicting though.

[monkeynutts]

That picture is not fair, because that girl is hot, but mostly I would never even bat an eyelid at a girl wearing one, it's OK, she won't be attracted to me either.

[curiousnorway]

It was only pictures like that on Google. Anyway, very many Middle-eastern people looks good in my opinion and that applies to both genders. I've seen very many beautiful Middle-eastern in real life and it's quite common among people between 20 - 35 there.

[Lynzerilee]

The purpose of it is not for the girl not to attract men's attention to her beauty (of her hair) so whether it is attractive or not counteracts its purpose.

[MaelaK]

It can bring forth someone's eyes and highlight their facial structure so it can look very pretty on some girls.
When it doesn't look particularly pretty, it just looks neutral.

[SendMeFood29]

(18 M Protestant) I think it's attractive for a multitude of reasons (Even though it's not supposed to). A few are:
1. It accentuates a woman's facial features via contrasting colors, and makes the face appear more angular/feminine, which many people find attractive
2. Due to it being a religious symbol and a "Don't hit on me" sign, it adds appeal via unattainability, which, whether you're respectful or not, hits somewhere instinctually (Not saying it's a go ahead to initiate incessant flirting).

[11110000bbbb]

The Hijab is not supposed to be attractive.

[Boredbbyy]

^^^^^

[wondelrand123]

whats the point then?

[curiousnorway]

I know. But if that's the case, then I'm curious on why some women use makeup and tries to look pretty in it.

[11110000bbbb]

@wondelrand123 To cover and please Allah swt.
Our Bodies are not supposed to be known to men,
There are people who believe hair is the most attractive feature on a woman.
So it should be covered.

And Some women wear makeup with it because they are struggling with their Iman or Faith.
Some have never understood the meaning

[wondelrand123]

oh ok i understand

[11110000bbbb]

@wondelrand123 Marriage is the main thing that makes it appropriate for a man to see hair and body shape.

[wondelrand123]

ahh i see, cool

[Bonitaermosa]

Not for me... but for others would be ok. Thats cool. In both ways.

[jonesjessica812]

Nice rack, and I need sum Latina brain right now

[Bonitaermosa]

@jonesjessica812 lol!! Thanks

[Janieyu]

well its not made to please or for estethic causes but in my opinion it keeps the mystery and it has a charm :p special espcially for round faces :p

[Naydyonov]

Russian headscarf is fine, other ones no. If a Russian woman wears a headscarf it's because she wants to and it doesn't matter if she takes it off. It's to keep hair from getting dirty while do house work and working on the field.

[Dutchman90]

Not my thing. However I respect the reason of wearing it, their religion!
