Why We Reimagined the Hijab Cap from Scratch?
Share
Let’s be honest, most hijab caps haven’t evolved in years. They’re often made from the same stiff materials, fit too tightly, trap heat, and worst of all, pull at your hairline throughout the day. The result? Slipping, scalp discomfort, and in the long term, real damage to your hair.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
At Sitra, we started with a simple goal: create a hijab cap that actually protects your hair. Not just one that looks good or stays in place but one backed by science and designed with your comfort in mind.
We took real feedback from hijabis and paired it with insights from dermatologists and trichologists. The result? A cap that supports long-term scalp and hair health.
Here’s how each detail works:
1. Stretchable outer shell ensures a secure fit without needing to tighten painfully.
2. Satin inner lining acts as a friction barrier, protecting strands from breakage, frizz, and scalp irritation.
3. Structured front band without satin offers grip exactly where you need it—without slipping or pressure marks.
💡 Did you know? Research shows that tight, non-breathable headwear can contribute to traction alopecia and scalp inflammation, especially along the hairline and crown. And poor ventilation or prolonged sweat buildup under the hijab may even trigger telogen effluvium (stress-related shedding).
That’s why Sitra’s design choices aren’t random. Every layer has a purpose, to protect your roots, soothe your scalp, and let you go through your day confidently.
