Three Islamic clothiers are holding sales right now. They are Rebirth of Chic, Al Muhajabat, and Islamic Boutique.

Rebirth of Chic sells youthful and trendy modest clothing styles that are often a little on the expensive side. But, right now they’re selling all of their inventory at discounts of up to 65%-off to make room for their own collection which will debut in a few weeks. Click here to have a look at what’s still in stock.

Al Muhajabat sells a mix of modest clothing items. Some are traditional abayas while others are designed with the modern Muslimah in mind. Their sale gives you 10% off your order… Click here to check them out!

Last but not least is one of my favorite Islamic clothiers, Islamic Boutique. Like Al Muhajabat, Islamic Boutique sells both modern and traditional modest clothing styles-but, all of their designs are in the form of abayas and jilbabs. To celebrate Ramadan, Islamic Boutique will take 15% off your order. Be sure to visit their website before the end of Ramadan to take advantage of this sale.

Happy Shopping!

Islamic Haute Couture

2007-08-31T00:45:00Z

Tesettur fashion can be considered as haute couture for Muslim women. Designed in Turkey, Tesettur designs usually feature long jackets and matching pants done in fabrics like satin and denim. Unfortunately, Tesettur outfits are only available abroad, but with a few mouse clicks, you can find comparable replicas of those beautifully suited looks.

This luxe outfit by Spiegel is a really nice option to the Tesettur outfit above. It features a beautiful scarlet red trench coat that is lined in animal print and a classic wide-leg pant in brown. Finish the look with brown pumps and a red and white silk hijab.

How to Choose the Right Henna for Hair

2006-10-14T17:10:00Z

There are so many different types of henna powders out there. How do you choose?
Henna is exported from several countries. The most popular henna’s come from Morocco, Yemen, India, Pakistan and Iran. Sometimes a shop might carry several types of henna powders. You might wonder do different henna powders give different color results? The answer is no, as henna always dyes only reddish tones(if there is a claim of other color results then the henna is not pure).

Different henna powders have different textures and dye release times that play a role in which henna to choose.

For great color the following factors must be met when choosing your henna powder:

-Freshness. It must be very fresh.
-Body Art Quality. This means that the henna leaves harvested for this quality, are the best of the plant (top leaves with most dye content).
-Finely sifted. No one wants sticks and sand in their hair. It is just too much trouble to wash out.

Here is a brief description on each henna powder we currently import.

Jamila Henna Powder

Jamila henna powder has the longest dye release. To prepare for your hair, after mixing it (please view our henna for hair guide), you will allow this to sit for 12 hours. Then you will apply it to your hair. It originates from Pakistan.

Yemeni Henna Powder

Yemeni henna powder after being mixed, needs to sit from 8-12 hours before hair application. It originates from Sana’a, Yemen.

Moroccan Henna Powder

Moroccan henna powder has the quickest dye release. After being mixed, it only needs to sit for 2-4 hours before hair application. It originates from the Western Sahara of Morocco.

Indian Henna Powder

Indian henna powder after being mixed, needs to sit for 8-10 hours before hair application. It originated from Rajasthan, India.

Personally I do happen to have a preference for using moroccan henna powder for hair and nails because the dye release is so quick. It gives great color! I can just mix and apply.

Indian henna powder is also a very popular choice amongst clients.
