AWESOME REASONS I LOVE HIJAB/ABAYA

HIJAB: Head covering worn by Muslim women. Similar to a hood
ABAYA: Long, loose cloak-type cover worn by Muslim women. 

9) I never have to worry about rain ruining my hair. 
 
8) It's comfortable and simple to dress each day.  I never have to worry about bending over and revealing my back or anything.  

7) People approach me with ridiculously interesting, border-line offensive, questions.  "You know you don't have to wear that here?" "Do you eat camel for Thanksgiving?" "Do you have hair?" etc.

6) I look like I go to Hogwarts.  Or I look like a dementor.  Or I look like a ninja.  Regardless, it's awesome.

5) I'm unique amongst my friends, and I love that.  It's a representation of who I am. It's a part of me that I love so much!

4) My ears are never cold in the winter. :)

3)I can hide my earbuds and stay entertained during a boring lecture, and no one would ever know. I told this to someone once, and he replied, "That's cool! I wish I was Jewish!"  ...
2) No bluetooth headset? No problem! With any lightweight phone, my hijab allows me to have a handsfree device when I have  other things to carry while chatting.

1) I can "dye my hair" everyday.  I have over 100 hijabs of many different colors and styles that look fancy on any regular old day.  I like looking fancy.
