Modal vs. Jersey Hijab: Which Is Right for You?
Jersey and modal are two of the most popular everyday hijab fabrics. They feel and wear differently, and many women keep both.
Jersey hijab
Jersey is a stretchy knit. Our jersey hijab is 95% cotton and 5% spandex, $10, and comes in more than 20 colors. The stretch helps it stay in place with fewer pins, which makes it a good choice for work, school, and busy days.
Modal hijab
Modal is a soft fiber made from wood pulp. A modal hijab is lighter than jersey and drapes more loosely. Our ombre modal hijab is $15, has a lightly crinkled texture with fringe edges, and comes in 12 two-tone colors.
Quick comparison
- Hold: jersey grips and stays put; modal needs a pin or two.
- Look: jersey looks smooth and neat; modal looks soft and relaxed.
- Weight: modal is the lighter of the two, which many women like in Houston's heat and humidity.
- Price at our store: jersey $10, ombre modal $15.
