Are there any IFs where the MC (or other characters) can wear a hijab/duka/gele/turban/any other sort of headscarf/headwrap? I know Golden by @milaswriting definitely does, but a lot of others simply ask for hair color and hairstyle, and not whether or not your MC wears something on their head. It of course doesn't have to be important to the story, but I love my hijab and I'd love to see more IFs where any of these beautiful head coverings are portrayed, even if it's just in passing. <3

Among market women in Jamaica, bandanna headwrap was a coded dress form that conveyed marital status and occupation. It was a uniform marker that identified these women as traders and labourers, differentiating them from others. The headwrap was made by folding a squared piece of starched Madras cloth, as much as a yard in length, into a triangular shape and then placing the cloth over the head and knotting it at the back of the head. The knots were tied so as to leave two folds of the fabric draped to the shoulders or centre of the back. The upper fold would be peaked and then curved to hang, suggesting the shape of a rooster’s tail. Some market women called this style the “peacock”, but the most common name was the “cock’s tail”[144] (see Figure 3.29). The stiffer the fabric, the more pronounced the style and the easier it was to obtain the desired shape. To help stiffen it, cassava juice was boiled for a long time and used as a starch.[145] The cock’s tail was usually reserved for married women, while single and younger women in the market tied their heads more tightly, with the knot or bow to the side of the head, without hanging folds. This bandanna style reflected their single status and signalled their availability to potential suitors. Older, or “big” market women wore a more pronounced cock’s tail with a high peak, symbolic of wealth and social standing in the market domain.[146] Most women reserved their expensive fabrics and elaborate headwraps for special occasions, especially for AfroJamaican religious rituals in kumina and Pocomania (Puk kumina). These headwraps reflected the individual’s creativity, status and role in the religious community.[147] While the bandanna cock’s tail is no longer seen in most markets, bandanna is one of the fabrics used in national costumes and even in some people’s dress.[148]

Today I have once again been accused of cultural appropriation for veiling. By a baptist-turned-atheist.
Never, in the years since I started veiling, has a single Muslim, Jew, Sikh, or anyone else from a culture or religion that practices veiling, EVER accused me of appropriation. Never.
When I first started thinking about it, do you know who flung their arms open and said "Come join us!"? A group of Jewish women.
When I was struggling with styling, who popped up to give me tips and support? Muslim women.
We call each other cousin and sister and we support each other with some of the most loving displays of community I have ever experienced. It's only outsiders who act like there's an issue.

We Are Now in Headwrap Season
Every season calls for headwraps, but I believe the fall season in particular is the best for headwraps. When I wear a headwrap, it makes me feel different. I feel protected and adorned at the same time. It is truly a regal feeling that I believe every woman should experience. However, I can acknowledge that wearing a headwrap and tying a headwrap are two different things. I remember when I first…

Beside the winding river lies rolling hills of peonies. And that’s where I’ll be…twirling until the moon appears.
