Hijab Pins Guide: Types, Uses and How to Style Them

By the HAFSAY team · 25 September 2026

A good hijab pin keeps your scarf in place all day and adds a small finishing touch. The right pin depends on your fabric, your style and the occasion.

Types of hijab pins

Safety-pin style

These lock closed, so they are the most secure option for long days at university, work or travelling. A decorative head - pearls, crystals or gold-tone shapes - makes them look like jewellery. Examples: Gold Diamond Safety Pin (Rs. 399) and Crystal Multi Safety Pin (Rs. 399).

Brooch style

Larger and more decorative, brooches are made to be seen. Wear one at the side of the hijab, near the shoulder, or on a dupatta or shawl. Try Ginkgo Leaf Pearl Brooch (Rs. 449) or Pearl Circle Gold Brooch (Rs. 449).

Underscarf and straight pins

Plain straight pins hold the underscarf and inner layers. Most people use two or three of these together with one decorative pin on the outside.

Where to place your pin

Under the chin: the most common spot - use a secure safety-pin style.
At the side, near the ear: a small decorative pin looks neat and holds a draped style in place.
On the shoulder: a brooch here holds a draped end and becomes the statement piece.

Pinning delicate fabrics without damage

Use pins with fine, sharp points - a blunt pin tears chiffon and silk.
Push the pin through gently along the weave; never force it.
Pin through two layers where possible, so the weight is shared.
On jersey, place the pin in the same spot each time to avoid multiple small holes.

Styling ideas

Pearl and gold-tone pins go with every hijab colour. For weddings and evening events, a crystal pin adds sparkle - pair it with small studs like White Clover Stud Earrings (Rs. 399) so the pin stays the focus.

Hijab pins also make a thoughtful small gift for Eid or Ramadan. See all designs on our hijab pins page - every order ships free with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan.
