Black Hijabs

Our black hijabs are the quiet foundation of a modest wardrobe: premium jersey that stays put without pins, airy chiffon, breathable viscose and modal hijabs that come with a matching undercap. Pair one with a black abaya for a seamless line, or let it frame your face against lighter colours.

Short on time? The instant jersey and Amira styles simply pull on, while the jersey khimar and the prayer set are ready for salah. Looking for something softer near the face? Browse our grey hijabs or everyday jersey hijabs.

Why a black hijab works with almost everything

Black is the one hijab colour that never has to match. It frames the face cleanly, sits well with navy, camel, white and every print, and makes a monochrome look with a black abaya feel intentional rather than plain. For contrast, wear it with a white or cream abaya or a beige coat – the outline stays crisp and calm.

Choosing the fabric

For daily wear, premium jersey and cotton jersey are opaque, stretchy and hold their shape without pins. Viscose and modal drape softly and breathe well in warm weather, and the modal styles come with their own undercap. Chiffon – including the double-layer Amira – is light and airy, so wear it over an undercap. For weddings and Eid, the long satin and crinkle satin hijabs have a gentle silk-feel sheen; see all satin hijabs.

Keeping black deep and dark

Black fades mostly through heat and sunlight. Wash your hijab inside out on a cool, gentle cycle with a detergent for darks, skip the tumble dryer and dry it flat or over a hanger in the shade. Iron satin and chiffon on a low setting; the crinkle styles need no ironing at all.

Frequently asked questions

What colour hijab goes with a black abaya?

A black hijab gives a seamless, elongating line and is the classic choice. For contrast, soft neutrals such as cream, sand or grey look calm, while deeper shades like burgundy, emerald or navy add colour without feeling loud.

Are black hijabs see-through?

Our jersey, viscose, modal and satin hijabs are opaque. Chiffon is a light, airy fabric, so we recommend wearing black chiffon over an undercap – the double-layer Amira and the instant chiffon hijab with undercap make that easy.

How do I stop my black hijab from fading?

Wash it inside out in cool water on a gentle cycle, use a detergent for dark colours and avoid bleach. Dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun, and skip the tumble dryer, which is hard on both colour and fabric.

Which black hijab is best for everyday wear?

Premium jersey is the easiest: soft, stretchy, non-slip and opaque, so it stays in place without pins. If you prefer a lighter drape on warm days, viscose or the modal hijab with its matching undercap are good alternatives.
