- Hair can be a massive part of a woman's identity - even for those women who choose to cover it.

Hair is a major facet when it comes to how we express ourselves - even if that means covering it as part our religious identity.
Hearing a hijab doesn’t mean that Muslim women don’t style their hair. This is why Huda Quhshi created Le ‘Jemalik spa, as a space where women who cover their hair can still be pampered.
“The hijab is how I practice my faith and it’s how I express my identity. So, as a Muslim woman, if you see my walking outside in my hijab, you immediately know I’m a Muslim woman." Quhshi explained. “The salon, it gave them a safe space where they can feel accepted because, before this, we never had a space that we can practice our faith and get beautified at the same time.”
Orthodox Jewish women like Zelda Voltov also choose to cover their hair, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t express themselves stylishly with the help of wigs. Voltov was frustrated by the old-fashioned styles that were available to her, so she created Zelda Hair as a way for Jewish women to conceal their hair, while still being able to wear stylish attractive wigs.
She explained, “The general idea is that we have a full stock of wigs and a woman would have an initial consult - we would discuss color and size and texture and we would pick from various different pieces in the salon.”
You can conceal your hair but still make it your own - as these awesome entrepreneurs prove.

Can we give props to this RADIENT pregnant host?? YESS GIRL
Hettie Petra
Because you don’t see pregnant hosts a lot.
I'm not Muslim by any stretch of the word but I really appreciate that she thought about her culture and her community and provided a service that was lacking. Kudos girlfriend
Hudas explanation to why she wears the head scarf was beautiful and her scarf collection is goals 🧕🏾💓
Elijah Gwayumba Well hijab isn’t simply covering your hair. It is essentially a command, but not in the way people think. For example I am considered a “hijabi” by some because I try dressing modestly but prefer not to cover my hair.
I believe in free speech but I'm super disappointed that people are using the comments section to bash people's religion and how they choose to demonstrate their faith.
people love disguising their hatred and bigotry as free speech 🤷🏻♀️ its really sad
@@agustinabarrios4234 It's still free speech
Yeah frick women's rights, fairy tale stories are more important
@@rosannaberckley5515 she literally explained that no one forced her to wear a hijab in this video.
@@dinolandra I would only support the wearing of hijabs if they forced men to do so equally
I chose to wear my hijab. No one can make me wear it or take it off. But to be real, there are women who are forced or heavily pressured. It’s not fair to make it seem as if it’s a choice for every woman.
I agree. Some women are actualy being forced to wear a hijab by their family or feel social pressure. I think that this video wanted show the positive side about wearing a hijab since most of the stories are about muslim extremism.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t a man make this rule up for a women to wear a hijab?
When I was in school, one of my male friends bumped into his younger sister as we were all out for our lunch break. He walked up to her and slapped her across the face because she was walking without her headscarf on ☹️ really upset me to witness that. She clearly didn’t have a choice.
Asha Chaudhary 😔
Asha Chaudhary That’s so disgusting I swear it would be a brawl if anyone lays hands on me let alone a male how disgusting do you have to be.
My family is orthodox Christian, and we have to wear a “netsela” on our head to cover our head. It’s not as tight as a hijab, but more like a loose scarf.
On church or everyday? Where are you from? Just curious.
Bloody Marine only in church, forgot to mention I’m Eritrean. In Tigrinya (eritrean language) the scarf is called netela. My family is orthodox Christian.
My dad’s family is Greek Orthodox Christian. Most don’t cover their hair, though some do. In the U.S. it doesn’t seem common for me to see veiled women in church. I was told it’s because they wanted to fit in with modern American society.
Sarah Pipakis yeah I think it’s different from culture to culture. In my culture women are very modest and covered up. But not our hair unless we are in church. The priest won’t say anything if you show up uncovered tho. I don’t cover cuz I’m 15 and not very religious myself. But I do respect everyone that does.
My grandma told me of when a girl forgot her headscarf for church and they helped pin a doily to her hair. Most of the scarfs were small by then so it didn't stand out that much.
Has she heard about lace front wigs? That would help to make the wigs look way more natural.
There is backlash in the community for hyper realistic and supposed "gawdy/show/glamorous" wigs. That's the struggle. Like rabbinical leaders shaming women and pressuring them to wear more wiggy looking wigs in their enclaves.
@@LM-ki5ll wow that's very interesting to know, but understandable. I guess the whole point is to stray men away from intrest.
@@cookie22100 It's rooted in Tzniut a code of modesty. It's mandatory in Hasidic/Ultra Orthodox/Orthodox and even Conservative branches of Judaism and each branch and community has their own kinda ideas and ideals regarding presentation.
I even follow it in a different way and I grew up with a hippie rabbi who did Tai-Chi during services and was vegan lololol
@@LM-ki5ll thank you for explaining this point, i was also wondering about the same issue. I believe practicing our religion and faith and to be willing to kinda of play a low profile towards our beauty is a huge success and i admire every girl and woman who does; modesty with elegance and pride is not easy; especially with all the temptations around us whether you are a Jewish, Muslim or any other religion.
Right like where’s the scalp on those wigs
I love Huda’s personality!! She’s so classy and elegant💛💛
Being in a muslim salon was probably one of the most eye opening moments in my life. When she took off her robes and hijab with the veil showing only her eyes (everything all black), she looked like a million dollar CEO right down to the immaculate hairstyle and Louboutin stillettos! They definitely take care of themselves whether you get the opportunity to see whats under the veils or not ❤
Yes.
Although I agree with women deciding to wear head coverings as a way to practice modesty and “keep something only for your man” but I literally NEVER hear any men concerned about preserving something for their woman. That’s where I have concerns.
It's not a concern. Our men do preserve themselves for their wife's, their modesty is just less obvious than ours. If their aren't they aren't practicing the religion properly. As far as Islam goes anyway
@@subekennedy9554 what do they preserve for the women?
@@subekennedy9554 and furthermore i never said i was talking directly about Islam or religion.
Then you haven't been in the right circles. A lot of guys I knew growing up (conservative Christians) talked about staying pure for the woman they would one day marry.
Andrea Anderson the idea that that’s the “right” circle is absurd. There is no right or wrong circle when it comes to personal decisions like that.
Woah that hair salon looks beautiful
Very! A smart business idea too.
It is so gorgeous.
Huda' s dimples and eyelashes are gorgeous! Masha Allah
She's wearing fake lashes
Do muslim women remove their scarves at home in front of their family or just their husband? I loved Huda's scarf collection. She is so classy!
They remove it in front of their siblings, half brothers, sons, offspring of siblings and half siblings, father, step father, step sons, paternal and maternal grandfathers and above, paternal and maternal uncles, nursing sons (any infants who had been nursed for a least certain time by them), nursing brothers (if she was nursed for a least certain time by a woman that's not her mother who also nursed another infants so they become nursing siblings), and also in front of grandchildren and their offspring.
They take it off in front of other women and men who are relatives that they can't marry (called mahram) like fathers, brothers , uncles, etc
TA Lindsay we go free hair in front of our immediate family members and husband only.. but we aren't meant to go free hair in front of our brother/sister in laws nor our first cousins and so on but we can uncover in front of our bio parents, mother and father in laws, grandparents, siblings, uncles/aunts, biological children, nephews and nieces and pretty much everyone who we cannot marry in Islam.. (technically muslims aren't allowed to marry our brothers/sister in laws but women still need to wear the hijab/cover up in front of our brother in laws because he's not a permanent mahram (mahram means someone whom u cannot marry, derives from the word haram.. so haram to marry) but our father in laws are permanent mahram so even if we divorce our husbands, we have no obligation to cover our heads in front of their fathers, same goes for the husbands and our mothers and so on
You can remove it in front of the people who you can’t marry such as uncles grandfather and siblings. And of course other women can see your hair. A big misconception is that we cover our hair in our home. No we don’t.
Yes of course! It's like wearing a coat when you go outside and take it off at home unless there are other males who aren't related to you(and male cousins included) but you can take it off in front of your husband, father, uncle, grandfather, father and grandfather in law, nephews and your sons or husband's sons
‘Hair is everywhere’
Me: *looks in drain* they sure got that right
Lottie AE tehehe
Those Orthodox Jew women must be some type of hair wizards if they take care of two sets of hair everyday.
Charleigh LaRocca no not really
I’m Sephardic orthodox Jewish and we wear headscarves like Muslim women. Ashkenazic women wear the wigs. They run about 5k and get matted after a few months because they rub against your back all the time. It’s very high-maintenance and not for the faint-hearted lmao
@Glen CoCo Which black women? Speak yourself. I have no time for that nonsense.
Glen CoCo I’m a black women and don’t say that we don’t all wear wigs uuughg
@@jacijune Millions around the world. Let's not pretend that's not true. BTW, I'm black and don't wear wigs either
Im orthodox christian and wear headcovering... i wish we had a place like this where i live.
In church only ?
@katieGonzalez Maybe you can be the lady to provide that service in your community. Good luck!
@@lolliadia7766 there are some who cover in church only but also Christians that cover all the time
I covered my hair for Holy Week and *loved* it. I'm thinking about doing it semi-regularly.
@@lolliadia7766 u wear it full time. Its not a rule but alot of women do it.
I'm a Christian and I cover my hair with wigs and scarves as a way of modesty and expression of humility before God. Seeing this is comforting and gives me a boost because where I am now, I know no other women who practice covering their hair for religious reasons. Good on them for being true to themselves and our God.
Destiny Gough I'm a devout Christian as well and I wear wigs every time I leave the house, I am happy to hear there are others out there like me, I wish she could have included a covering Christian woman in this as well to see another perspective.
@@modestmidwestmomma9988 I'm one too.your not alone
I want to do this.
I don’t understand why a Christian woman would cover their hair in public. Which religion are you? I’m curious.
Rebekkah Driver cause the Bible says to cover your hair. “But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.”
I Corinthians 11:5-6 NKJV
“But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.”
I Corinthians 11:15 NKJV
Some women cover their heads some don’t
These three women are beautiful ❤️
Glad to see people from different religious and cultural backgrounds able to share their stories
Alexis Lauren 💕❤️
thank you for posting this video...gives people a chance to have a better understanding of other peoples culture/religion.
This is so dope, I’m not Muslim I actually wear the hijab as a Christian out of modesty and celibacy but this video, is so amazing, and reminds me to stay encouraged in my head covering journey. 🖤 thank you for this.
Princess Kicki but if your a Christian you don’t need I understand why Muslims do but as a Christian you shouldn’t. Wear one god is against it because you are dressing like your from a different religion. And also in Christianity it’s not unmodest to not wear a head covering so
Respectfully, you can be a Christian and cover your hair. There's nothing in the Bible that says a woman is not allowed to not cover her hair
At the end of the day. What you believe and what you feel comfortable inregards to what you're wearing matters.
• N O L E E • I don’t think that’s sound advice my friend. It is not a law but it is prescribed by the Apostle Paul as you can see in this passage. We are free of the bondage of the law yes that’s true. This young lady is not entangling in the law, she is practicing this out of some form of modesty and this is her choice. Between her and the Father.
“But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.”
1 Corinthians 11:5-6 KJV
Princess Kicki Princess Kicki Even though It is not mandated by law but prescribed the Apostle Paul as you can see in the passage below in certain times and uses. So in a sense I think this is a beautiful personal choice but we always want to make sure we are doing things how the word of God says and not creating our own doctrines. In a sense that would be like going against Him. Just always remembering that we all have to work out our own salvations as the Bible says but also recognizing that salvation is a free gift and doesn’t have to be earned. So anything we do for God is through our convictions, free will and not through obligations understanding that we can not earn our salvations or work for it. It is a Gift of God throw the work Jesus did on the cross. As long as that’s Understood I think what ever you choose to do for the Lord is beautiful. Just keep anything you do in secret and in private between you and the Father. The world never need to understand or know. Keep it private and sacred between you and he.
As an Apostle of God through Jesus Christ Paul speaks on behalf of God and represents Jesus Christ while in an Apostolic State.
Take a look at this scripture taken from the New Testament. Written by the Apostle Paul. It is prescribed by the apostle for woman to cover during prayer and prophesying.
“But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.”
1 Corinthians 11:5-6
So you see these are the only times you really need to do it. Anything you choose to do beyond that is your choice. Whatever you do I would encourage you to stay true to the Word otherwise we end up creating our own religions and our own doctrines. I always say stick to the Word of God and you can’t go wrong. You are not mandated to wear it all the time but specifically during times of prayer and prophecy. Just wanted to share that with you. What ever tot choose to do is between you and God. Listen to him always and follow His word.
@@delancey3181 what would you tell MARY the mother of Jesus.?
Huda's scarf collection is goals 😍
I never understood the hate of hijabs. Every abrahamic religion has a variation of covering women’s hair.
Yes! I love them
I appreciate this video. This is so true. I'm a Christian but I practice Headcovering as its referenced in 1 Corinthians 11 and I have never felt more beautiful than when I wear my scarf
People need to get out in meet people from different cultures.2019 please
Truth!
YHess
@FIRE but religion and culture are interconnected. You can call yourself a Jew without believing in God because it's a culture and ethnicity all in itself.
FIRE GOD EXISTS SO
Michelle Singleton facts !
I've never heard of this jewish wig thing
Bateman Furfur only the orthodox
i live in Brooklyn so many of them do wear wigs after marriage but like the person said its for the very conservatives not all wear wigs
Orthodox Jews
she should get lace fronts in her shop
scruncheese they want the wigs to look fake if that makes sense? apparently they is some backlash for them looking too real
She has lace fronts 🙂
There are certain Christian denominations that won't cut their hair, dress modestly, and will not adorn themselves with makeup or jewelry for similar reasons of faith. Other Christian faiths believe in wearing simple hair coverings. I find these similarities fascinating and such a beautiful way a woman
expresses her faith. 💛
This was a great piece. We need more content like this. I believe if we understood more about our differences, then we could break down barriers of misconception and intolerance.
Also, kuddos to the radiant expectant mom.
Former Pentecostal 🙋🏽♀️ that was me and when my hair was cut short right before I was reconciled with God I started covering my head as it was my praying closet and then, was lead to fully cover my hair. Now as a Catholic I cover my head in mass and am feeling called again to fully cover my head. Ppl forget that the culture for the earliest Christians was Jewish and head coverings were so common until within the last century. I pray more of us can go back to much of our roots
Absolutely love the hair salon. If I had a place like this I would 💯 go there all the time.
I'm a Christian woman who veils completely when outside the house, because I believe God wants me to do so. When I cover fully. I feel very blessed and protective.
Christian head coverings next please 💘
People : WE BELIEVE IN FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND FREEDOM TO WEAR ANYTHING WE WANT
MUSLIMS : wears head scarf on her own will
People : NANIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
🙄🙄🙄
American Enigma _ the issue is that I personally kinda don’t believe that they do choose and even if they did choose I think it’s a poor model for daughters and sisters.
AmousecalledStanley u are ignorant on this matter my friend , IT IS MENTIONED TO COVER UR MODESTY and women use scarves etc and dress modestly and do it by their own choice coz they want to feel spiritual and also they don’t want to show their body ...... it is mentioned is Islam “ there is no forcing in Islam “ ....
I understand why u think so ! You have seeen only Media pics of THOSE UNCULTURED AREAS WHICH FORCE WOMEN TO WEAR THOSE BLACK BURQAS AND SUCH ! That’s not Islam ! That’s LOW EDUCATED CULTURAL IGNORANT PEOPLE !!! And that’s not only in Islam in whole world there are STUPID UNEDUCATED A*holes .... not religion fault !
And also role model ? Bro wearing lingeries is not the only role model thing to do ! A women should have a choice NOT TO SHOW HER BODY IF SHE DOES NOT WANT TO ..... Thats a role model and confidence girls need to be taught ! They can dress with freedom however they want ... and do not have to show their bodies to gain social validation
AmousecalledStanley I do think, before you comment on something, you should search for the information first. Every family is different, so do every muslim family. There's some family who forced their daughter to wear hijab, but there's also some family who give a freedom to their daughter to wear hijab or not. But the religion it self doesn't force a women to wear a hijab, it's a choice, whether you want to follow it or not. If you search Indonesia, we have the most muslim citizen than any other country. But not all muslim women in here wear hijab, like me. I do have some friends who choose to wear hijab since middle school even though their mom not wearing it. I'm not wearing a hijab, buy my mom wear a hijab, she never even once forced me to wear a hijab. Just a week ago, one of my friends decided to wear a hijab (she's 21 now), her mom choosed to wear a hijab when she's turned 58. So again wear a hijab is a freedom of choices, but it also depends on the family and the culture. if you only see the example as in ISIS, again ISIS not Islam. If you only see the example in middle eastern family, again it's part of their family culture, but not all of them are being force..
sorry for my english skill, I'm bad at english
AmousecalledStanley the thing is it’s not about YOUR believe it’s about MY believe ♥️
So, choosing to wear hijab is more cultural than religious? I thought Islam make it compulsory or "wajib" (which means you are sinning if you do not do the command) to cover the aurah (parts of human that should be concealed from some people). And the aurah that relates to physical body for women after puberty is her whole body except face and hands.
Im inspired... I want a Christian salon now
This is a gorgeous way to see how all women are beautiful inside and out. Covered, wigged, laced...the unique way we practice our religion...and how we develop our faith with our coverings. Such a reminder to love each other from the inside out.
One time I was at a subway when I was 7 and i saw a guy with dreadlocks or braids (I dont remember) and I literally believed that each strand of black peoples hair grew like that
I am literally so stupid I cant believe it
gloria sucks a toe HAHAH SAME
😂😂😂
Awww lol 😂
Lmfao
Not stupid ,you were young in no one told you,u assumed it like a child.
But people rash black women for wearing wigs ehhh
Gold right😭 i get drug for my “hair hats” and I only wear afro wigs similar to my hair texture and I’m loced under my wigs! But 🤷🏾♀️
Right! People just like to harass black women, then we react, we get called angry.
Thank you!
This video is good for all wig wearers
Same with weaves. White women are starting to wear weaves more and more yet no one gives af but when I do it ppl are quick to call me Shaniqua and make fun of me
As much as I love her starting her own wig business, those wigs are tragic. The hair line is way too harsh and the partings are clockable from a mile away.
The thing about Jewish women wearing wigs is that they’re supposed to look obnoxiously wiggy. They don’t want men thinking it is their natural hair.
Also she said those wigs were very basic until it is customized for each woman
Shay Hawk 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
She makes all types.
Some people want the front lace and others don’t.
There’s a lot of different opinions about which is the best way to cover your hair. And each with their own pros and cons.
Like with a scarf it doesn’t look like hair but it’s also doesn’t cover your entire hairline and it slides off.
With a wig it doesn’t slide because of clips but it’s hard to tell if you’re married or not.
So people choose what they’re comfortable with or what’s common in their community.
Some people go for a front lace. Others prefer the hard line so it’s obvious it’s fake. Some pull 4 fingers worth of hair from the front and flip it over.
Some where a hat that covers the crown of their head and leave their ends loose.
It’s *very* nuanced.
I don't wear a hijab but still a proud black Muslim

Her hijab collection is 💜💜
I love how beautifully she dresses her makeup is wonderful
This report should win some kind of reward! Im a teacher and I love tje way it was organized, the subjects and the reporter. All 3 women were marvelous examples of intelligent, beautiful and powerful women. I would love to share this video with my students. Thanks sharing!
Covering hair is not a Muslim thing. It is all religions.
she didn’t say it was just muslim ...hence why they featured someone who is jewish
So why are only Muslim women persecuted for it?
Muslims are the largest population who cover their hair tho.
In my very conservative christian denomination, I have never been encouraged to cover my hair. It is not an all religions thing.
Yep- most religions are very misogynistic at their core.
When someone can explain to me why a little girl has to wear a black fabric bag in 80 degree heat while her brother wears normal clothes.
Yesssss girly ily and I’m yemeni too, love that yemeni women are really getting out there
I lived in Amsterdam in a neighborhood with lot of immigrants from all over the world ( I loved it), and my favourite grocery shop was Arabic one. One day I came in wearing a big shall all around my head and neck ( it was cold) that covered my hair completely. This time I got special treatment and the whole display of respect :))) It was funny.
So Muslim man would treat women completely different if they have they hair covered. Then I realized the subtile pressure that Muslim women feel in their communities even if they live in the western countries.
majda vojnikovic i think they thought you were a convert. Muslim treat converts with lots of admiration
@@sarahbeaux-arts7141 it is possible.
Sarah Beaux-Arts hmmm what she experienced is same with me and I've always been a Muslim so..
I life in all Muslims country so most women wear hijab and I’m one of them
I experienced the opposite
If I was in line with women who wears makeup and let her hair down they’ll let her cross the line and treat her kindly so they can flirt with her while I’ll get the rude no smiling yelling treatment
It’s horrible how women will get treated differently because of their appearance
Nada S what country are you in lol?
Such a heartwarming video. Huda's idea is great and I wish we had this kind of salon in France (we have the same name and I've never felt this happy and proud about my first name. Feels good to feel represented.) Also, I learnt a lot of things about Orthodox Jews- I didn't know about the wigs! Zelda is wonderful too and she made me want to buy a wig ahah. May God help them continue their work because we need more women like them. I wish them the best. 💞
I love the idea of veiling though I very rarely do it.
Why anyone thinks that modest women are insecure or doing it for others, I don't know...
because there are women who have said when they decided to stop wearing their covering they were shunned or attacked by their family and community. recognizing the hijabi salon owner's intentions for her business shouldn't underscore the experiences of those women i mentioned.
DoveLady I know that. I mean in general when women are modest. :)
DoveLady totally agree. I think the different Muslim communities and families have an influence on whether a woman is ostracized if she decides to not cover. I have a Pakistani friend who chooses to wear a hejab while her sister doesn’t cover and both choices are fully accepted in their family and community. That said, there are women who are more of less forced to be modest.
DoveLady I recently took off my hijab because of an assault I faced last year. I’ve not faced any black lash, but I’ve had non Muslims call me a hypocrite. Go figure. I do miss it though.
A lot of women were shunned by their familie BECAUSE of the scarf.
This reality is more common than otherwise.
I dont know one single woman who were forced to wear hijab, but dozens who were critisized or worse by their muslim or nonmuslim familiy members.
i never knew that about jewish women and wigs
I'm not sure if I could do this. My hair makes me feel confident and I love trying new styles. I don't just want to keep it to myself though.
That's absolutely fine that's why not every girl I know wears it you be you boo
MiC DrOp BAM!
I think I. Their case the coverings makes them more confident. It is to prove to themselves that their belief is what makes their lives special in a way. To them it’s more about self worth than looks.
I have a friend who is Muslim. Her parents fixed her arranged marriage. After her marriage her husband told her to wear a hijab. She was such a free spirited soul. She never even tie her hair before marriage. Her hair was thick black long hair.
Many Muslim women don't have the luxury to choose if they want to wear a hijab or not in Bangladesh. I have seen many girls to wear hijab just because their family told them.
Tbh hijab fabric patterns are way prettier then my hair will ever be anyway.
I really enjoyed the video. It opened my eyes for different prespectives that I had never tought of. Thank you. Continue this awesome work!
I love this video! It’s the freshest, most beautiful empowering video on this topic. And I Love the energy of the presenter. Thank you! You guys are amazing.
Yay! Bay Ridge! Thats a neighborhood right next to mine :)
@0:44 omg yes finally someone who understand for one that we actually have hair under here and 2 that we ACTUALLY take care of it lol
I am a Christian and cover my hair. I choose to cover out of respect for God and my fiancé. I cover while in prayer & in worship. It feels so freeing to me
Not the christian faith just your own personal choice nothing to do with jesus.
OMG I love the curly one
Tje woman at 4:47 has such a good wig!!! It looks so natural
I'd be happy to see men from the same religion covering their hair or body as well. Fair, right?
Orthodox Jewish men are expected to cover their heads as well, ESPECIALLY when worshipping. Catholic men are expected to cover their heads as well. Whether or not they actually do is a different issue.
Actually Muslim men have a dress code too, no tight pants and shirts which describe details about their body parts. They should dress modestly
@@CherryVanityRawr Yep and they have rules about covering their bodies as well.
@@CherryVanityRawr wait I never knew catholic men had to cover. In the Bible it says it’s a disgrace for a man to do so
I found this educational, thanks for sharing
I loved this. Huda has such an innovative business idea and I’m sure ppl will try to replicate it. Love it!❤️💕
I know it their religion but I’ve always wanted to see how these beautiful women cover and keep their hair away in the hijab, and what they use to tame the hair and keep it healthy
Hijabs looks so fashionable and cute
I wonder if Huda’s salon services Muslim women with all types curly hair. 🤔
I can bet you they don't. As a black woman from a Muslim family, I've been to a few Muslim women's salons owned by Arab women and each time they had absolutely no knowledge of curly/coily hair.
Salons owned by Ethiopian, Sudanese and Somali women usually cater to curly/coily hair.
Tranquil Lee most Somalis wouldn’t know how to deal with type 4 / Afro hair , I wouldn’t bother wasting your money on it.
If the staff are Arab, probably not. They usually have straight to loosely curled hair, so they wouldn’t know how to deal with kinkier/coiled hair.
One of my relatives has 4c blonde hair. We're egyptian, the salons we go to are a hit or miss. But some Arab women actually know how to deal with kinky hair. Rare as it may be.
Of course she does All my Yamani friends have curly hair
I've had times of my life that I covered my hair with a hat or a scarf. Some people took it as my fashion and some saw that it is deeper. I'm not affiliated with any religion. I needed that modesty and spiritual ritual to be respectful of myself and other people. Great interviews! Touched my heart💖👍great memories.
Thank you for making this video. I learned so much.
Wait if she said her hair is EXACTLY like the wig hiw is that privacy. Just curious
4:35
It’s not privacy, it’s about showing off the fact that you’re willing to splurge on a 6k wig . I’m Sephardic Jewish and we hold that the wig defeats the purpose. We completely reject the ashkenazic argument. We hold that the only way to cover our hair is through headscarves. It’s sad that a supposedly liberal channel chooses some white girl to speak for all Jewish women
Because we're not looking at her hair, we're looking at the wig. Even though it looks the same, it's the fact that we're looking at the wig
We actually did an entire section on this in a class I took. I'm by no means an expert but my understanding from what I learned is that it's about the modesty of not actually showing your hair that counts. It doesn't matter if it looks like real hair to an outsider because god and the woman know that it's not her real hair.
It seems to be based around the idea that you can have it all. You can keep to your traditional values, while still feeling like you "fit in" in a way that is important to you.
Its just another version of a head covering and at its core, that's what matters.
Em wow never thought that I’ll ever hear such a disrespectful opinion from a Jewish girl. I myself am Ashkenazi Jewish but not orthodox and I know both sides. I have friends who are Sephardi orthodox and some who are Ashkenazi. Both sides cover their hair but they have different opinions on it. Ashkenazim cover their hair with wigs because it’s modest and nothing that would get too much attention, still you fulfill the Mizwa by covering everything. Sephardi doesn’t believe in this and they rather cover it with scarves because they think that a wig is nothing but the same hair. Just try to understand both of us. And btw saying that a Jewish girl is white is hella disrespectful. You as a Jew should know our history, especially the Ashkenazi one. We ain’t white and we never were white. We’re Jews and that’s it. If we were white I don’t think 6 million would get killed in the 1940’s
More power to you both, Ladies! I wish you abundance and contentment and a good life and business. Thanks for bringing this information to us, NT/MANE!
Thank you, NowThis, for creating this great video💕
I love seeing womxn come together to talk about beauty and faith!
i wish christians kept around the head covering or talked about it more
Why its not a Christian thing
@@deesott5123 stop telling people that and read your scriptures and study church history. It is VERY much a Christian thing
Same. I’m disappointed
If we follow those who subscribe to the doctrine of women wearing veils, then it can be argued that the most often cited verse is 1st Corinth. 11:5, which states:
“But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.”
According to many of those who believe women ought to wear veils this verse supposedly implies that a woman’s uncovered head is a woman who does not wear a veil. Such a woman is either dishonoring God, their own physical head or her husband for failing to wear it which implies that they are in disobedience. Some have gone so far as to say it is a sin. Another assumption is that the woman being referred to already has long hair and since they conclude that the covering is a veil then it must be referring to an “additional” covering otherwise it would clash with verse 15 stating that God gave women long hair for a covering. Another conclusion is that women ought to be covered ONLY when praying and prophesying and for men to be uncovered, which would make it seem as though it were something that can be placed on or taken off like a veil. You’ve probably noticed by now it takes several assumptions to reach the conclusion that women ought to wear a foreign object on their heads, despite the lack of evidence.
* Does the Bible really give a clear command that women should wear a veil?
The first thing that everyone must understand when talking about this topic is that it DOES NOT say the word “veil” or “cloth” or any other physical headwear, as far as the KJV is concerned. It surely mentions that the woman’s head should be covered, and no one disputes this, but it does not say that it should be covered with a veil, a shawl, a bonnet, a cap, or any other specific headwear. The verses in question within 1st Corinthians 11 mention the words, cover, covered, uncovered, and covering, but that does not mean we can translate this to mean specifically a veil, a shawl, a bonnet, a cap, or anything else similar. In fact, it would seem more like an adverb rather than a noun. Nevertheless, the word “cover” is unfortunately interpreted by head covering promoters to mean a veil above all other types of headwear, even if there is no evidence to prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. To do so would mean that one is trying to read more into the verse than what is stated and is not truly seeking an exegesis of the Scriptures.
Some have claimed that they are referring to a physical synthetic head covering because the Scriptures seem to indicate that there are two exclusive conditions to wear one and that is when a woman is either praying and/or prophesying. But does this interpretation stand up to logic?
If we were to believe that under certain conditions a woman ought to wear a physical head covering, then it stands to reason that under OTHER conditions a woman should be able NOT to wear one. For example, if you are going to argue that a woman ought to wear a veil because the Bible claims there are two conditions, then it is logical to presume that any other condition would ALLOW them to be without one, like speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, healing the sick, casting out devils, etc.
Now if a head covering promoter should claim that there are MORE conditions, then they admit that there aren’t really “two” conditions thereby nullifying the two-condition argument.
The reasoning behind why the “two-condition” argument is important for veil promoters is because if these words were actual conditions, then it would seem as though the covering were something that can be placed on or taken off. So even though it does not literally or EXPLICITLY say anything about putting on or taking off a veil. Veil promotors form this belief based on what they believe to be IMPLIED and not by a direct statement. Many people like to believe this because they ASSUME that praying and prophesying are two conditions instead of seeing them as mere examples.
* Praying and prophesying were meant to be viewed as examples, not conditions…
Now I can understand how someone can mistakenly conclude praying and prophesying as conditions in verse 5, on the surface, but once you read the rest of the verses in context one cannot reach that conclusion. If they were meant to be conditions then why would Paul say in verse 7…
“For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.”
If the reason for men not to cover their heads in this verse is because he is the “image and glory of God,” then why assume Paul was saying that there were only TWO conditions in verse 4? Wouldn’t 7 override any supposed conditions? Shouldn’t that make you question that perhaps Paul was just giving a couple of examples? But let’s continue.
Verses 8 and 9 give us another understanding that Paul must have been referring to praying and prophesying as examples because he adds the order of creation into the mix.
“For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man CREATED for the woman; but the woman for the man.”
If Paul states that the creation order has something to do with the reason as to why women ought to cover (in long hair) and men to be uncovered (aka have short hair) then we can conclude that this doctrine must be bound in NATURE. That is to say that it must have taken place since the creation of Adam and Eve and BEFORE the manufacturing of veils or hats, and BEFORE the creation of churches, which is another reason why hair easily fits the mold.
This is confirmed when reading verses 13 and 14 when Paul asks you to make an observational judgment that if it is comely (aka pleasant looking) for a woman to pray uncovered (in short hair) and that even NATURE teaches us that a man with long hair is shameful. Why would Paul ask you to think that something as unnatural as a woman without a hat would look off and then say something as natural as long hair would look off on a man? Paul was saying that not being covered in long hair especially while praying looks uncomely and in the same breath he continues and says men with long hair also looks naturally wrong.
* So Is the Covering Long Hair or a Veil? …..
If we examine all the verses from verses 4 to 15 without bias, we should at least agree that at certain points the verses are referring to physical heads and hair. Now some have tried to argue that the covering is somehow Jesus or men (some erroneously add husband here as well). But since the passage in 1st Corinthians 11 already states that the man or Jesus are already referred to as the heads one should not mix things up and add that they are the covering especially when this word is referring to something else entirely, Plus it wouldn’t make sense if we were to replace the word covering, covered or uncovered with Jesus, man or husband.
So, do the words “covered,” “cover,” “uncovered” and “covering” refer to long and/or short hair or some kind of foreign head covering? Some will even say all the above, but if we carefully examine verse 15 we would be getting a clearer picture of what was being referred to in the earlier verses when it mentions these words.
“But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her FOR a covering." KJV
So if the covering is long hair, then the words “covered” or “cover” (which are synonymous with “covering”) should be understood as long hair as well. If that’s true, then to be “uncovered” would mean “short hair.” If so, then we can get a better picture of verse 4 when it says that it is shameful or dishonorable for a man to pray or prophesy with his head “covered.” Note the similarity of verse 4 to verse 14 that’s because they are both referring to being covered in LONG hair.
I have alopecia and use wigs, scarves and hats daily. I expected the assumption that I was Muslim but the many people thinking I was orthodoxically Jewish was a huge surprise, now I get it.
There are also many ways for Jewish women to wear scarves too, it’s just not entirely as common
@@opheliasrue It's actually equally common, if not more. Lol. This kind of thing always confuses me. think about it- most Sephardic and Mizrahi aren't even allowed to wear wigs. In my grandparents generation, it was even rare for ashkenazim that weren't wealthy or from very specific sects. I think we're just so used to certain light being shed on certain communities that even we by into this notion.
I learned things didnt know before, thank you for this!
Absolutely beautiful!💌
Gorgeous and pure 😍.
I don't get why Jewish people wear wigs that look better than their natrual hair. But the way Muslim women do it make sense.
They don't look better, they look like wigs.
She literally explained it
@@jasminevaliente96 still doesnt make any sense honestly. It defeats the purpose of "modesty" and "privacy" If someone is looking at the wig that looks EXACTLY like your own hair....
Jasmine Valiente modesty is about not attracting undue attention to one’s self. If I wear a hat to work and nobody else is wearing one, I’ll attract undue attention. But if I’m wearing a sheitel, nobody gives it a second thought.
@@erldagerl9826what is a sheitel ?
I love when the muslim woman adressed the misconception. I too was never asked by my dad or husband to wear a hijab, yet i do wear it!
Can we talk about how real that wig looks?!
Hair covering is like tisbah.its exists mostly in every major religion.
I like to wear it.when I go to church or mosque...
"If i take my wig off now, my natural hair looks exactly like this underneath"
Wigs as head covers still make no sense to me, even with the explanation in the middle
It's like saying you don't want people to see you in underwear, but then walk outside with a bikini..
Yes, you chose the bikini, but you still show the same thing to others
Therein lies the idea of concept.
The choice to be seen is taken away when someone is in their underwear. A bikini is worn with a purpose and it is clear that that is the final look someone is going for. With underwear the person is still in a state of undress which could make them uncomfortable. Same this with the wig, yes their hair may look the same underneath but their natural hair is not on display which allows them to feel covered and modest.
Gracie I love the bikini vs underwear analogy!
@@AmberCarey100 talk about it all you want it doesn't make sense anyway
@@ang5798 just because you are not able to grasp the idea behind it, doesn't mean it makes no sense. Even if it would make no sense (which it does) they can wear whatever they want to without you needing to criticize their choice of covers. There are also a lot of orthodox Jewish wives who instead of a wig wear a scarf, same concept, different execution. Your choice of words sounds very rude and insulting, sorry to break this to you.
that's because its not about the surface level looks type thing. if your hair is covered fully, it's covered fully.
Proud of being muslim and wearing my hijab💕
This is honestly so great.
6:07 (right one) the Ana Wintour wig 🤣. I kinda want one for myself, just to be able to change my hair color and texture.without fuss (& I'm not even Jewish)
I love that this video highlights that women who cover their hair have the freedom to do things just for themselves. Wearing the hijab is what allowed me to finally shave my head for medical reasons, dye my hair for the first time, get a pixie cut, experiment with pink hair, and feel free as everything grew out. I wouldn't have had that freedom otherwise.
Where did she get her lilac pant suit? I ADORE it. In SW Florida it is so hard to find modest clothing :(
I think a head scarf would prevent a lot of hair drama. Plus, UV protection!
Wow so educational! I always assumed it was for men. Thanks for sharing knowledge.
I am forced to wear hijab but I admire my muslim sisters who do it by choice
Zu Sh Do you live in America ?
ashley peek yep
@@anyaperceives Elder Muslims in my community support it. But thanks for the support
Zu Sh This is why it is difficult for the non-Muslim world to believe that wearing a hijab is a choice.
@@razm.3135 In most cases, it's not a choice. I am a former muslim, and growing I was pressured and forced to wear the Hijab, because it was my mother's religion. Sure you have more freedom in western countries, but if you were to not wear the hijab in predominately Islamic countries, there would be serious consequences.
Where did the Host got the dress from its precious
Love this video!
Women can wear whatever they want, hijab and all. But stop lying it's not about men!!! If it was only about faith then why is it forced in other countries to the point women who aren't even Muslim wear it in those countries???? Even in Orthodox Christianity when u go to a monastery they ask u to cover your hair. They don't ask if your Orthodox first because it doesn't matter. It's all modesty and being less tempting to... MEN! Sure the hijab can represent faith but let's be honest of another important thing it represents; keeping men eyes away.
Andromeda uh.. yeah, that's the point.. modesty.. just because we do it for one reason doesn't mean there can be other reasons behind it... it doesn't have to be one or the other.
@@kishinumaayumi I agree it's not just one reason women were hijabs, but the woman in the video literally says 'Men have nothing to do with the hijab' that's just not the true cause of modesty.
Andromeda, I think it's important to be able to distinguish between what our religion teaches about wearing hijab versus what an individual family or a repressive regime may teach about wearing hijab. One can not speak on rules within someone's family, but as for Islam, it doesn't under any circumstances give a man the right to tell a woman what to wear ( hijab included). If a woman decides to put on a hijab because her husband or father request so, it is her descion to wear it out of respect for their request.
As far as countries that require non Muslim women to wear hijab, there are only two that I'm aware of, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. While we can say it is wrong and that the women are being oppressed because they're required to wear hijab in public, who are we to judge the laws instituted in another person's country just because they don't coincide with our own ideologies and beliefs?
If women need to cover their hair to keep men away it says there's a serious issue going on within their communities.
Oh sweetheart- its all a facade to control woman and keep females oppressed and silent.
Dont believe me? Hows Iran doing lately?
As a former LDS woman, I felt like, I was covering myself for God. Then I grew to believe that I was just indoctrinated from birth. To say it's all your choice and that family tradition, church and community stigma, and the quality of partner you're trying to attract doesn't factor into your choice to cover are lies you tell yourself to maintain the illusion of autonomy. Women shouldn't be forced to cover or uncover by law, everybody should practice their faith freely as long as it doesn't hurt others, but saying that it's all our choice completely, to cover for God, is a misrepresentation of how religion works and what it means to people. Covering is a very difficult calling to live with. I did it out of obedience and submission to the will of the lord, but I found my relationship with God didn't suffer from uncovering, my relationship with my church family did, very rarely outright to my face, but in subtle ways that slowly pushed me to the fringes of my community. I suppose this representation of covering is nessasary to normalize and destigmatize it to the non or less litigiously religious, but it is certainly painting covering with an overly simplistic, everything is hunky dory brush, to those of us in strict religious communities fighting for destigmatization of different spiritual expression.
Why does your (legitimate, but personal) experience have to mean that all others experiences must be the same? Two people can eat the same food and one loves it, and one hates it. Being human means that our experiences are our own- you should not presume to know, "the truth" when that very well may not be anything like what either of the women are experiencing. It's not fair and it's incorrect. And that doesn't take away AT ALL from what you went through.
I LOVE the high neck dress you are wearing at the beginning and end - can you say where it is from? ❤️
WOW! All of these women are AMAZING, including the host!
I didnt even know the jewish woman was wearing a wig. Its a good wig
Nice. I don't subscribe to Islam but i cover my hair for respect and Love for THE MOST HIGH!!
Yes! :)
now that's how you make a good video with a good content
Hijab is beyond Just covering the hair ,
