The ladies here love to exaggerate the shape of their head under the hijab by poofing their hair with gigantic flower clips. The stylist in this series of photographs has a hijab bump. I see bigger ones around campus every day. This is helpful to know so that when you go to a store that sells hair accessories and you see those huge flower clips, you know what they're for. In fact, you will hardly ever see the flower clips themselves out in public, because as far as I know, their main purpose is to be concealed under the hijab. You can see a tutorial for the Gulf (khaliji) hijab style here to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
Today we were at The Discounts (some super awesome dollar-store type places in Ajman) looking for UAE National Day swag and I saw some of the biggest flower clips I've ever seen. Magdalena agreed, reluctantly, to model them for me so you can get an idea of their scope.
I promise you, this is one clip. ONE.
Magdalena is not impressed.
So now you know what's hiding out under those hijab bumps. In case you were wondering.
