Why do Hui women wrap their heads?

Hui people think this is a shame for women and should be covered up. The custom of wearing a headscarf is influenced by Islamic countries in the Middle East. In the Middle East, there used to be a big sandstorm and little water, so it was difficult for people to bathe themselves in time. In order to prevent sandstorms and maintain hygiene, women sewed headscarves to cover their faces and protect their hair. Later, many Arab and Persian merchants brought this custom to China. The second is influenced by Islam. Generally, the hair, ears and neck are covered. Over time, the habit of wearing hijab has gradually formed among Hui women. No matter in Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Hainan and other coastal areas, or in the mainland, there are generally three colors: blue, blue and white, including girls, daughters-in-law and elderly people. Generally girls wear green, married women wear black, and elderly women with grandchildren or elderly women wear white. Wearing a green hijab looks handsome and beautiful; Wearing a white hijab looks clean and heavy; Wearing a black hijab looks elegant and tall. The "hijab" of Hui women is exquisitely made, mostly made of high-grade and medium-grade fine materials such as silk, silk, georgette and polyester. In terms of style, the hijab of the elderly is long and should be worn on the vest; The girl's daughter-in-law has a shorter hijab, and the front can cover the front neck. Hui women also like to embed Phnom Penh on the hijab and embroider elegant flower patterns, which look fresh and beautiful, lively and pleasing to the eye. Nowadays, with the development of the times, some young Hui women's hijab has also changed in style and color, becoming more lively and generous.
