25. Advantages of Hijab Bad guys usually don't try to tease you You can protect yourself from unnecessary attention from males, especially when going for shopping or in crowded areas People generally respect women with hijab and try to help them whenever they ask Cosmetically, hijab protects our skin and hair from side effects of sun exposure, so better skin, better hair, no need to spend extra money on sun blocks and hair conditioners Girls will become less conscious of there appearance and physique in co-gatherings, so it also promotes confidence in personality As you wear hijab so you have to dress modestly and if you cover yourself with abaya or gown, then less money and time spent on designing and buying of your clothes. MONEY SAVED!!! Some times we just keep our self from doing something wrong (despite the strong urge to do) just because it will not match our appearance. Our Iman strengthens as people expect us to be more religious than normal girls who don't wear hijab, so it causes stimulus to keep us on right track As we know that our whole body plus face and hair are covered so we don't spend too much time on them before going somewhere. MORE TIME SAVED!!!
