It's been over a year since I have started my hijab journey and I did it out of my own Free will, my father tbh doesn't seem very happy with my decision as I have started to embrace my muslim background more, we are moderately practicing, my mother is very pious but my father even tho he's more knowledgeable, unfortunately is blinded by this dunya (May Allah give him hidayah). My younger sis and I, both started wearing it at the same time while my older sis is still struggling with this (May Allah guide her).
Honestly I have always been into fashion and makeup and stuff, I have always cared about my appearance more than anyone else in my family but ever since I started being more religious, mashaallah I have overcame many things that my younger self wouldn't even dream of! I started wearing more modest clothes and going out with no makeup at all, I'm proud of what I have become but sometimes I js can't resist the urge and deliberately make my self look more desirable (while still wearing the hijab). And the thing is Ik I would look 3x more beautiful if I wasn't a hijabi, my hair is one of my most beloved feature and a lil makeup would make me look like an absolute diva but it's all in my head and Ik I should never act on it, may Allah give me hidayah. Pls share your experiences on this, ik many of us go through this.
