Summer is here – Alhamdulillah!

But with sunshine, heat, and long days comes the question:
What can I wear on my head without sweating or having my hijab constantly slip?
Of course, the hijab stays – but how we wear it makes all the difference in summer.
That’s exactly what today’s all about: lightweight fabrics, fresh care – and why our Bonbana® undercap is your perfect summer buddy. Let’s go!

Breathable fabrics – your summer must-have
Before we get into colors and styles, let’s start with the most important part: the fabric.
Because if your hijab isn’t breathable, you’ll feel like you’re in a sauna within 10 minutes – and none of us wants that.

Here are our top picks for hot days:

• Cotton & linen – the classics. Natural, airy, and perfect for the heat!

• Jersey – stretchy, soft, and super comfortable, even when you're moving or working out.

• Modal – feels like a mix of silk and cotton. Lightweight, breathable & sweat-friendly.

But here’s the thing: the fabric alone won’t help if what’s underneath is making you sweat.

Many conventional undercaps are made from thick, synthetic materials that trap heat and barely let any air through. Especially in summer, that gets uncomfortable fast. Your scalp can’t breathe, and your hair goes flat. So… what’s the solution?

Your summer solution: the Bonbana® undercap
We’ve all been there: bonnet on, hijab wrapped – 5 minutes outside, and you feel like you're in a steam room.
Not with the Bonbana® undercap! 

Why it’s a summer gamechanger:

✔️ Ventilation holes let your scalp breathe – bye-bye heat!
✔️ No slipping, no sticking – even if you sweat.
✔️ No pins or needles needed – especially with jersey or textured hijabs, your scarf naturally “grips” the undercap.
✔️ Lightweight and flexible

In short: you stay cool – and so does your hair.

Caring for your summer hijabs the right way
To keep your scarves fresh and beautiful:

• Wash regularly but gently – hand wash or delicate cycle with mild detergent

• Air dry – but avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading

• Store loosely – not too tightly folded, so they stay fresh and airy

Light fabrics, proper care, and the right undercap – and you’ll feel amazing even at 30 °C.
