Moja hijab guide: every fabric and shade explained

Moja is the only hijab brand we carry. How the fabrics differ, which one to buy first, and how to find your shade.

Moja hijab guide: every fabric and shade explained

Laura Veils carries one hijab brand, Moja. We choose every fabric and shade ourselves in Dubai and photograph each one in its real colour, so this guide is the same advice we give on WhatsApp every day.

Which Moja hijab should you buy first?

If you are new to Moja, start with georgette. It is matte and opaque, it grips the cap so it does not slide, and it comes in the widest range of shades. Then add a jersey for busy days and a modal for the summer.

Moja georgette: the everyday hijab

Georgette has a soft, grainy feel that holds a shape. It works as a neat wrap or as a loose shayla pinned at the shoulder, and it looks right at work, at the mall and at a family dinner.

Moja jersey: no pins, no slipping

Moja jersey is a Turkey bamboo jersey. It stretches, wraps close to the head and stays in place on its own, so it is the one for the school run, the gym or a long drive.

Moja modal: for the summer

Modal cotton is soft and breathable, and the crinkled texture means it never looks creased. It is the coolest Moja hijab for a UAE summer.

Chiffon, satin and organza shimmer

These are the occasion fabrics. Chiffon is lighter and floatier, satin has a soft sheen, and organza shimmer adds a quiet sparkle for Eid, weddings and henna nights. Wear sheer fabrics over a cap.

Not sure where to start? One black georgette and one jersey cover almost every day of the week.

How to find your shade

Open the Shade Studio to see every colour side by side in every fabric. Black, almond and navy are easy neutrals to start with, and our guide to choosing a hijab colour for your skin tone helps with the rest.
