If you prefer
to use a square scarf or a shayla, you will need to wrap it. You can
just simply pin it under your chin with the help of a safety pin / hijaab pin or
you can look for other wrapping advice from the following sites. On the
other hand, if you can't stand pins, you should go with "cape khimars"
that need no pinning at all and cover very well or you can use a
head-style garment that will cover you from head-to-toe.
