About our modal hijabs
Modal hijabs from Chowdhury Dress are made from premium soft modal — a breathable, lightweight fabric loved for its silky drape and gentle feel against the skin. Generously sized at 180x100cm, they give full, flattering coverage that stays comfortable from morning prayers to a long day out. As a UK-based modest fashion brand, we ship modal hijabs across the UK and internationally.
Whether you want a calm everyday neutral or a statement printed modal for occasions, our modal hijabs are soft, durable and easy to style without pins. Modal is naturally breathable, which makes it a favourite for warmer weather and for anyone with sensitive skin.
Modal hijab FAQs
What are the benefits of modal fabric for hijabs?+
Modal is exceptionally soft, breathable and lightweight, with a beautiful fluid drape. It holds colour well, feels gentle on the skin, and is less slippery than silky fabrics — so it's easy to style and comfortable all day.
How do I care for a modal hijab to prevent stretching?+
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, and avoid wringing. Gently reshape and lay flat or hang to dry, and keep it away from high heat. This protects the softness and stops the fabric stretching.
Are modal hijabs good for summer?+
Yes. Modal is breathable and lightweight, so it stays cool and comfortable in warm weather, while the generous 180x100cm size still gives full, airy coverage.
How does modal compare to jersey and chiffon?+
Modal is silky-soft with a flowing drape; jersey is stretchy and grips securely without pins; chiffon is light and formal but more slippery. Modal sits beautifully in between — soft, breathable and easy to wrap.
Are modal hijabs suitable for sensitive skin?+
Modal has a smooth, non-scratchy finish that's gentle against the skin, making it a comfortable choice for sensitive skin. Pair with an undercap for extra grip and comfort.
Do you have sustainable modal options?+
Yes — our Organic Cotton Modal Hijab is made from natural, more eco-friendly fabric, for a softer footprint without losing comfort.
