When did you start wearing a hijab or abaya?

[ayeshascollection023]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been curious and wanted to open a friendly discussion: at what age or stage did you start wearing a hijab or abaya? Some people start in their teens, others later in life, and everyone has their own personal journey.

For me, I started exploring modest fashion gradually, trying to feel comfortable and confident while following my personal beliefs. It made me realize how important it is to find styles that suit your lifestyle and personality.

I’d love to hear your experiences — what motivated you, how you felt starting out, and any tips for sisters just beginning their journey.

If you’re interested in seeing some modest fashion options, I also run a small shop with hijabs and abayas designed for everyday comfort and elegance: Ayesha’s Collection.

Are you really interested or more interested in selling us your own.

Good luck with an expensive US online store where no one can touch or feel the fabric quality and so expensive plus the shipping and then also the import taxes tariffs etc even assuming you are a genuine store and not some Chinese rip off. Just saying.

You lack a little bit of subtility....

I'am Christian BTW and my companion Hindu, so no "modest" fashion for us

I happen to glance at the TV screening a shampoo advertisement (if I’m not mistaken). Or it could be advertisement for detergent. If it’s shampoo, then it’s formulated for hijab wearers. If it’s detergent, then it’s for washing the hijab, I’m not sure.

But I heard clearly towards the end a female voice saying (something like) “wearing hijab makes you more beautiful”. I was thinking what happened to the purpose of wearing hijab? As I understand, women wear hijab so as not to arouse men.

Therefore, if wearing hijab makes a woman more beautiful, is it more likely to arouse men?

Well,
I totally understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate your honesty. It's definitely challenging to run an online store, especially when it comes to fabric quality, shipping costs, and other logistics that can make online shopping a bit tricky.

To clarify, my main goal is to create a space for women to explore modest fashion that makes them feel both comfortable and confident. I started Ayesha's Collection because I wanted to provide pieces that reflect the everyday elegance and practicality many of us look for. It’s never just about selling — it's about creating something that feels personal and meaningful to others, too.

That being said, our prices are among the lowest in the market, and we also offer free shipping on orders over $50 in the USA, which I hope makes things a bit easier for anyone looking to try out our pieces. I know the experience of shopping online can be a bit daunting, but I put a lot of care into selecting quality items that I believe would be worth it.

I completely respect that everyone has their own preferences and experiences when it comes to shopping, especially online. If you ever decide to check out the store, I hope you can feel the same level of care I put into it. And I’m always here to chat or help if you have any questions. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Then it would seem you do misunderstand the purpose and meaning of wearing hijab. The real purpose. Not the one on TV to sell shampoo or detergent lol

Btw smoking doesn't make you a better musician or rally driver.

And using tampons doesn't make you able to waterski skydive.


Lol

Free shipping in the US. Wow. Great.

But you are advertising on an expatriate forum in Indonesia the furthest country away from US which has a lot of customs taxes and tariffs on imports. So free shipping doesn't work for us and we have to also pay an extra 30-50% in tax on top of the invoice price plus the extra shipping. And women usually prefer to buy hijabs in person by feel and touch. It's not the same as buying a dress or shoes.

Anyway good luck
