'Camel-hump' hijab?!

Let us begin with a brief explanation of what the hijab is for all those readers who have no idea what it is. The hijab is the extra piece of clothing which Muslim women wear on their heads to cover their hair and neck for reasons of modesty. That’s a pretty simple, watered down version of the exact purpose behind the hijab, however that does not mean it holds any less importance.

We are all pretty aware of the recent hairstyles which are quite popular at the moment; the messy-bun or a puff which seems to grow out of the back of ones head. What has happened is that the highly volumised  hairstyles have evolved and adapted in the form of extra big, I quote "volumised hijabs", which are layers of material, one on top of the other. Everyone has their own opinions on how nice or not nice this version of head dress looks. Personally, I prefer the simple hijab, which serves its purpose perfectly without the need to stand infront of the mirror for hours every morning trying to get it done perfectly, just as you would have to with your hair. I think one of the greatest advantages of the hijab is that you don't have to worry about your hair every five minutes, or worry about it getting wet in the rain. If you're wearing something that requires hair spray in some places, you are initially screwed in that sense.

It has many religious purposes and is compulsory to be worn by women in Islam. The secondary purpose, however useless is seems to be at this moment in time is that the hijab has now began to speak out as a fashion statement.  Of course there is nothing majorly wrong with wearing the hijab and looking nice at the same time, but the amount to which some girls are literally mounting their hijabs on to their heads in the morning, is becoming ridiculous. How could one seriously wear a hijab of that size and not feel absurd? I’m pretty sure that a hijab that climbs at least half a metre above their head, cannot be as comfortable as they make it out to be. Not to mention the fact that there is a problem of hearing, sometimes even with the simple head dress that we wear, so how on God's green earth can they wear such a thing on their head AND hear things clearly?!

Okay, maybe I am being a little harsh. There are a few people who can pull off the look and make it look decent, but some people need to really pull down that construction site off their head. It looks like a remake of the Eiffel Tower but for something ridiculous like the first World Record of the 'head-Eiffel Tower'. I can't help it, I'm sorry but a lot of these styles are ridculous and screamed to be ridiculed.
