Hijab hassals

Hijabs are probably the biggest concern every hijabi has. When ever I have to go out the first thing that comes to mind usually is "Shit do I have the hijab for that?" I don't think I own as much hijabs as I make it sound but this seriously stresses me out. Sometimes I would have such a good outfit in mind but end up not wearing it cuz my sister decided to let her devil side come out and take the only matching hijab I had. Yes I get it you like my taste in hijab prints but honey honey HONEY please could you wear it any other day??

The other day, I was invited to this fashion show and since it was my first fashion show i wanted to actually look somewhat fashionable? So I have my whole outfit on point and I was feeling so proud ...UNTIL I REALIZED I DIDN'T HAVE THE HIJAB TO GO WITH IT. Usually when I dont have the hijab to go with my outfit I just go with black cuz hey it matches everything and makes my skin look a tad lighter. But that day it seems as if ALL MY BLACK HIJABS WERE SUCKED INTO A BOTTOMLESS PIT OF EVIL. It was either that it wasn't washed (thanks sis -.-) or lost somewhere. After digging and digging through my pile of hijabs i finally find the perfect hijab. I wouldn't say it matched what I was wearing but I just assumed that I was "Color blocking" and people would think i did that one purpose (not that I had no other choice GOD DANGIT)

I finally pull out the perfect hijab and guess what? IT WAS A FREAKING SILK HIJAB. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO PUT ON A SILK HIJAB! Taming that hijab was like taming your little brother after he's had too much sugar! AND TO MAKE IT EVEN WORSE, IT WASNT EVEN IRONED. So I have my friends coming over to pick me up in 20 minutes and I had to iron my wild beast and try to convince it to stay on my head. After ironing my hijab I go back to the mirror and figure out HOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP IT ON MY HEAD. I tried putting a bandana beneath it but it was worse. HIJAB I SWEAR TO GOD I DONT HAVE BANANA PEELS ON MY HEAD WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SLIPPING! As I was about to give up, I turn to my left and I could almost hear angles sing. I HAD PINS! I thought i was going to cry of happiness. I never find pins in my room like NEVERRR! and the fact that I found a whole pack there looking at me made me feel emotional.

Not sure if Mom knew I was dying of frustration or she just wanted me to stop screaming in my room but either way I knew she was the one who bought them and I couldn't be more thankful! So I laugh menacingly as I knew I was finally winning the war and used .....10 pins.  YUP Not 2 not 4 but 10 full pins! I was not going to risk it. So basically i was a walking hazard zone. I did impale my self a couple of times and I knew I would imaple my friends as well but hey nothing major- AT LEAST NO BRAIN DAMAGE RIGHT?

After the full fight I finally tamed the wild beast then guess what??? MY HAIR TIE WENT LOOSE AND MY HAIR WAS DANGLING FROM BEHIND ME LIKE A DAMN DONKEY'S TAIL. I wanted to grab my siciorrs and just cut it all off, people already think i'm bald underneath the hijab anyway why not? But then I remembered mom would probably flip out and I'd probably end up with a slipper mark on my face for the rest of my life, So I did what ever mature girl would do and just shoved it down my shirt. It was the most uncomfortable experienc ever but no way was i going to open my hijab to fix it .

If you have a similar thing happen to you comment below and hopefully i'm not the only one.
