Hijab Magnets

Hijab magnets hold your scarf in place with two halves that clip together through the fabric, so there are no pin holes and nothing to snag delicate chiffon. Choose a 4-pack in a metallic mix or matte neutrals, or a matte 6-pack in all black, all white, dusty pastels, neutrals with gold or a bright colour-pop mix.

They work best on light and medium fabrics such as chiffon hijabs and modal. Please keep magnets away from pacemakers and out of reach of small children, as they are a swallowing hazard. Wondering which fastening suits you? Compare them in hijab magnets vs pins vs tape.

Where to place your magnets

Under the chin is the classic spot: it closes the hijab neatly without a pin at the throat. At the shoulder, a magnet anchors a draped end so it stays put while you move, and a third can secure a pleat or fold for a more styled drape. Because the halves simply pull apart, you can adjust the look as often as you like without making holes in the fabric.

Fabric weight and grip

Magnets are happiest on light and medium fabrics such as chiffon, modal and jersey. On heavier scarves, use two magnets side by side, or wear a snug undercap underneath so the hijab has something to grip. Our underscarves and modal hijabs pair well with magnets, and you'll find more ideas in our guide on how to wear a hijab without pins.

Choosing a pack

Matte finishes blend into the fabric for an everyday look, while the metallic mix adds a small accent, almost like jewellery. A 6-pack lets you keep a few at home, in your handbag and at work.

Frequently asked questions

Are hijab magnets better than pins?
They avoid pin holes and snags and are quicker to adjust, which suits delicate fabrics. Pins can still be handy on very heavy scarves, and many women use both.
Do hijab magnets work on thick fabric?
They grip best on light and medium fabrics like chiffon, modal and jersey. For heavier hijabs, use two magnets or wear an undercap underneath.
Where do you put a hijab magnet?
Most often under the chin to close the hijab, at the shoulder to hold a draped end, or anywhere you want to secure a fold.
Do magnets make holes in a hijab?
No. Unlike pins, they don't pierce the fabric. To take them off, separate the two halves first rather than sliding them along the scarf.
