FAQs

 

Before you buy:

1. Which Fabric is right for me? 

Every DAUS fabric is designed with a different lifestyle in mind.

  • Modal – Lightweight, elegant and versatile for everyday wear.
  • Jersey – Soft, stretchy and effortless. Perfect if comfort is your priority.
  • Crinkle – Low maintenance with natural texture, making it ideal if you don't want to steam your hijab.


2. What if I don't know where to start?

If you're new to DAUS, we'd recommend starting with the fabric that best suits your lifestyle.

Looking for everyday elegance? Try Modal.

Prefer something quick and comfortable? Jersey is a favourite.

Want the easiest option possible? Crinkle was made for busy mornings.


3. What size hijab should I order?

Our hijabs come in two sizes: Mini (160cm x 55cm) and Standard (180cm x 70cm). 

Most hijabs are available in both Standard (180x70cm) and Mini (160x55cm)

Mini is perfect if you:

  • Prefer less fabric
  • Are petite
  • Don't enjoy bulky wraps
  • Prefer a tucked in look

Standard offers extra styling versatility and overall more coverage.


4. What if the colour I want is sold out?

We regularly restock our most-loved shades and are always working on expanding our colour range.

If your favourite is unavailable, join the restock notification on the product page and we'll let you know as soon as it's back.


5. What if my favourite fabric isn't available?

We're continually growing our collections.

If your preferred fabric isn't available in a particular colour yet, chances are it's already on our roadmap. Join our email list to be the first to hear about new releases and restocks.


6. How do I know the quality is worth it?

We believe everyday essentials should last.

Rather than buying multiple products that disappoint, we focus on creating pieces you'll genuinely enjoy wearing for years to come.

It's an investment in quality, comfort and everyday ease.

 

7. Why are DAUS products priced the way they are?

We believe the pieces you wear every day deserve to be the highest quality.

Rather than creating products that need replacing after a season, we focus on thoughtful fabrics, intentional construction and timeless design you'll reach for again and again.

It's about buying better — not buying more.


8. What if I already have another favourite hijab brand?

We love seeing more brands serving the modest community.

Many of our customers discovered DAUS while looking for something different — whether that's better fabrics, more thoughtful design or an easier everyday experience.

If our approach resonates with you, we'd love for you to give us a try.

 

9. I don't have time to spend choosing outfits.

That's exactly why we created DAUS.

Our collections are designed to simplify getting dressed, with timeless colours and pieces that work effortlessly together so you can spend less time deciding what to wear.


10. I'm not sure which fabric suits me?

Think about your lifestyle.

  • Want something polished and versatile? → Modal.
  • Want maximum comfort? → Jersey.
  • Want the easiest option with minimal maintenance? → Crinkle.


11. Are your colours true to what's shown online?

We photograph every product as accurately as possible, but colours may vary slightly depending on your screen settings.

If you're deciding between shades, feel free to contact us—we're always happy to help.


12. Why did you start DAUS?

DAUS was born from more than 20 years of wearing hijab and experiencing the same frustrations so many women still face today.

Our mission is simple: to remove the friction from modest dressing through thoughtfully designed pieces that never ask women to compromise on style, comfort or faith.

Standard or Mini sized?

The right hijab size depends on how much fabric you like to style and how much coverage you prefer.

Standard — 180 × 70 cm

Choose Standard if you:

  • Prefer fuller coverage
  • Like long or layered styling
  • Want more fabric across the chest and shoulders
  • Regularly experiment with different wrap styles

Mini — 155 × 60 cm

Choose Mini if you:

  • Prefer less fabric around the face and neck
  • Want to reduce bulk
  • Like simple, quick wrap styles
  • Have a smaller frame
  • Find standard hijabs overwhelming

Mini refers to the amount of fabric, not the level of quality or finish. It provides the same fabric experience in a smaller, easier-to-manage size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fabric is best for a beginner?

Bamboo Jersey is generally the easiest starting point because its stretch helps it stay in place. Crinkle is also beginner-friendly for customers who prefer a lightweight, textured fabric.

Are lighter colours completely opaque?

Opacity can vary by fabric, colour, lighting and styling method. For lighter shades, we recommend wearing a coordinating undercap when you want additional coverage.

Which fabric is the easiest to style?

Crinkle is the lowest-maintenance option because its natural texture does not require steaming. Bamboo Jersey is also easy to wrap because of its stretch and hold.

Which fabric creates the least bulk?

Modal and Crinkle offer the lightest, most fluid wrap. If you prefer Jersey but want less fabric, choose the Mini size.

Which fabric is best for an event?

Modal is ideal when you want an elegant, fluid finish. It can be styled loosely, layered or paired with accessories depending on the occasion.

Which fabric is best for travelling?

Crinkle is an excellent travel option because it packs easily and does not need steaming. Bamboo Jersey is another practical choice when secure styling is your priority.
