Jersey Hijabs: Comfort, No Pins & Everyday Ease
If you’ve ever worn a chiffon hijab on a humid day, you already know the struggle.
It looks pretty, yes — but 20 minutes into your commute it’s slipping, flying around in the wind, or slowly sliding back no matter how many pins you used. Add a crowded metro, a long college day, or an office shift… and suddenly your hijab feels like a full-time job.
That’s exactly why jersey hijabs have become the everyday favourite for so many hijabis in India.
At Tuhfa, our Premium Malai Jersey Hijabs are made for real life : busy mornings, heat, errands, classes, work days, and everything in between.
So, what is a Jersey Hijab?
A jersey hijab is made from a soft cotton-lycra blend meaning it has that comfy t-shirt feel, with just enough stretch to stay secure.
It’s not too heavy, not too thin. It sits nicely on the head, drapes smoothly, and feels breathable even in peak summer weather.
Tuhfa’s version is our Malai Jersey : buttery-soft, smooth on the skin, and made to feel premium while still being practical for everyday wear.
5 Reasons Jersey Hijabs are the Ultimate “Daily Driver”
1) No pins. No stress.
Jersey naturally grips, so it stays in place without you doing the most. On rushed mornings, you can literally wrap and leave.
If you’ve been searching for a non-slip hijabs without pins, this is it.
2) Opaque (no layering needed)
One of the most annoying parts of chiffon/georgette is constantly checking if it’s see-through ; especially outdoors or in bright light.
Tuhfa’s jersey hijabs are opaque, so you don’t need to double layer or worry about “accidental transparency” during lectures, meetings, or travel.
3) Summer-friendly for Indian weather
Indian heat is no joke, and hijab fabric makes a huge difference.
Jersey is breathable and comfortable ; it doesn’t give that stiff, suffocating feel, and it handles daily wear much better for commuting and long days out.
4) Drapes beautifully (even without ironing)
Jersey gives that soft “waterfall” drape that looks put-together without extra effort. No sharp creases, no ironing drama.
Whether you’re going for casual or office wear, it adapts easily.
5) Gym + active life approved
Running for the bus, walking a lot, going to the gym ; jersey stays put through it all.
If you need a hijab for workouts that won’t slip every 5 minutes, jersey is one of the best options out there.
