When I first write this fashion tudung collection blog, I was actually under the impression that the tudung online business can’t go any further like any other small Malaysian businesses. Well, honestly I must say that I was completely wrong. After writing few posts about fesyen tudung Muslimah, I have finally managed to conclude that there are thousands of people across the nation is searching and buying tudung via online. I must say that I am quite proud that the business is rapidly blooming and without doubt more people are looking for ways to grab some profit from this scenario.
Now we have to be very careful with this since a lot of people don’t have any idea whatsoever about how some monkeys abused the internet in order to scam not-so-savvy people like us. They used various tricks and tactics to realize their intention and therefore it is essential to know how we should prepare ourselves from being cheated by these trolls. Today I will do my best to provide you some ways to identify which is true and which is not. Be very wary of what people offer you at present day as you might fall into their traps and if that happen, I can guarantee you that you can lose money online pretty easy.
Although what I’m about to disclose here is related to tudung blog and tudung websites, you may also apply what you have learned here when visiting other commercial webpages. However, some tactics used by these scammers may vary but as long as you follow the basic guidelines, you should be fine and frankly say, shopping online for things is a fun activity as well as making our life easier in many aspects. Soon after you have read everything here, you can then easily set up a few restrictions and rules for your own use. From there onwards you will eventually master the concept of shopping online especially for tudung.
The first and foremost thing that you need to keep in mind at all times is when someone on the net claims that his site is the best on the line. This is the most common and cliché self-proclaimed statement and you can see it almost anywhere on the line. Some will claim that their site is “tudung bawal online no.1 di Malaysia” and some would shamelessly claimed that their site has the best koleksi tudung jakel. One easy way to identify which is a scam or not is by looking at their search engine ranking positions or more commonly called SERPs. For instance, if you go to Google and you type in “tudung bawal”, you will be getting about 195 thousands of results. Most of the time, those sites that you see in the first page up to third page are usually legitimate websites.
Speaking about tudung, pardon me for interrupting our talk to make a brief announcement here before we continue with our very discussion. For your information, this blog of mine has reached its final stage of “testing the water” and we (who are ‘we’? I’ll tell you later below) are currently organizing our fashion tudung collection. Once we have finalized everything, we will provide page by page images of our fashion tudung collection and if you find any that you are interested in, you are welcome then to make the tudung order using our order form. By the way, if you would like to get a sneak peek at our tudung online collection and probably having the chance to receive discounts on tudung online, you may fill up the tudung survey form below.
Let’s get back to our small talk. Buying glamorous modern hijab onine is perhaps one of the latest interest amongst Muslimah women today. Despite several negative remarks made by those who are against fashion and trend to be associated with tudung, the hijab online business keeps thriving and so far the progress is impressive. Be careful as well when you see these remarks because as far as I’m concerned, most of them have their own online businesses. Most of them are selling craps such as e-books on how to make money online in Malaysia. I say that those materials they are selling are craps because they are just trying to make money cheating people into buying their so-called e-books. Unfortunately Muslimah women in Malaysia are intelligent enough not to fall into these kind of stuffs and therefore these monkeys lose partial of their targeted audiences. Well, I’ve got to say here that no online craps can beat “real business” such as tudung business.
Most online shoppers are concern about the security of purchasing online items. Those who have credit cards like Visa or MasterCard would hesitate to buy as they are worried that things can go wrong. If you are one of them, then you are right about being cautious when buying tudung online. When the tudung website requires you to use your credit card for payment, you have to first check the webpage address at the top of your internet browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, and so on). The address should start with “https” and not the usual “http”. The added “s” at the end means that the page has an additional secure socket layer which is a protocol designed and developed to provide safe Internet transactions involving confidential information. Whenever you see that “https”, it means that you are in a secure session and you are safe to disclose your credit card information. You should also be able to see a padlock icon in the browser’s status bar which indicates that it is a secure page.
AFAIAC (as far as I am concerned), no free domains or blogs allowed secure transactions to be performed. This is due to the fact that “https” page can only be requested by commercial websites such as “dot com” or “dot com dot my” websites. For instance, this blog’s address is http://fashiontudungcollection.blogspot.com. FYI, “fashiontudungcollection” is my very own blog and it is hosted at blogspot.com. Blogspot.com or Blogger.com is owned by Google and not by me. Therefore it is a free hosted blog hence can’t perform any secure transaction. Same thing applies when you see an address like didyousmellsomething.wordpress.com. “Didyousmellsomething” is a subdomain of wordpress.com and therefore it is a free hosted blog. If you see a free blog like this asking you to enter your credit card’s credentials, please stay away from the site by all means.
I’m not saying here that free blogs or sites are all fishy. I’m saying that you should stay away from these kinds of webpages whenever they ask you to provide your confidential information. You can only trust these websites or blogs when they offer you another payment method which is money transfer from your bank account to the particular website’s owner’s bank account. This alternative is a lot more conveniences for those who don’t own a credit card or hesitate to use credit card for online purchase.
Money transfer is popular since it is secure and safer. Tudung blog/site owners usually provide you with their bank account information at their blogs/sites but you will have to initiate the transaction in the respective bank’s secure website. You just need to know the correct bank account number, the account holder’s name, and the exact amount of money to transfer to. Please ensure to keep the transaction details after each and every transaction. That will be your evidence that you have transferred a sum of money to that particular bank account and if something went wrong, you can contact your bank. If there is a fraud (which is less than likely to happen), you can lodge a police report and provide those information.
Alright, that’s all for now. Back to my announcement, I say “we” because I am not alone in this business. I am one of the team members which have 5 members altogether. Alisa Nurhanis is not my real name and it is just my pen name. However, when we launch our online tudung collection soon, we will provide real contact name(s) and nothing else but real things. We will also provide two separate bank accounts, Maybank account details and CIMB account details for your own convenience. In the future we will add more bank accounts details from other banks to further provide you with the best service.
Oh yes, the last but not least reminder to all of you. Our “koleksi tudung online” comprises koleksi tudung bawal online, koleksi tudung Ekin, koleksi tudung Ariani, koleksi tudung Dubai, and so on. I can be certain that you will be surprised to see our incomparable online tudung collection (I know, it’s a self-proclaimed lol but you’ll see). I have no intention of leaking out more fantastic news for all of you but just get ready, save some money, and wait for the official launch of our very own trendy tudung collection.
Salam hormat,
~Alisa Nurhanis

Tudung Bawal Online
One of the most common reasons why Malaysian women are wearing hijab is to ensure that they can fulfill the religious requirement to cover their hair including their ears. They are supposed to show only their face. However some extreme beliefs wanted them to cover their faces as well and leave only their eyes to be seen. These beliefs however are not embraced by most of the Muslim women in Malaysia. In fact, tudung has been receiving a lot of revolutions in terms of the fashion and also the trend here in Malaysia. In short, this scenario is one of the uniqueness of the Muslim community here in Malaysia.
There are many types of tudungs worn by Muslim women in Malaysia. One of them is tudung bawal which is a very popular tudung. Tudung bawal is actually evolving from plain tudung where the tudung has been embroidered with shining curvy lines. The curvy lines are usually flowery designs like batik. When tudung bawal was first introduced, it instantly received high popularity and had taken the tudung industry by storm. Women flocked to tudung market to look for this tudung bawak as it is a far cry better than the plain tudung. Besides being stylish, the tudung bawal is easy to be worn and it doesn’t look too dull neither too fancy.
A lot of variations on how to wear the tudung appropriately can be performed simply by twisting here and there at how you tie the tudung. There are many tudung videos out there tutoring on how to tie your tudung (ranging from tudung bawal, tudung ekin, tudung dubai, or any other types of tudung) and you just have to hop from one to another to gather all the options and later choose your favorite one. You may see that some would choose to wrap it around their head and then leaving just enough of the tudung ends so that they can be tied; creating a delicate and impressive knot. Some would just let the tudung ends to fall gracefully on their shoulders to create a shawl-look.
As I have mentioned few times before, tudung has gone through a lot of revolutions and one of them is the fabrics used to produce attention-grabbing tudungs. Some of the designers’ favorites are georgette, chiffon, velvet, cotton, wool, cashmere, pashmina (fine wool growing beneath the outer hair of goats), polyester, rayon, and also from silk. Of course, amongst those fabrics there is one that is most demanded by women; silk. Since silk somehow has its own way to stroke the skin giving a comfort feeling, they are highly demanded in the tudung market.
Today we can see that there are a lot of tudungs around us. I can only named few of them that are common such as tudung ekin, tudung Dubai, tudung bawal air mata, tudung ariani, tudung hijjaz, tudung munawarah, tudung bawal jepun, tudung manjalara, tudung sutera, and tudung pearl haya. These fashion tudung collections are those that can be easily found in the market and they are “nice and sweet” looking tudungs. Hijab fashion world has also been flooded with ready-made easy-to-wear tudungs. Frankly, I don’t encourage to buy these types of tudungs as they are usually made from cheap materials that could be harmful to those who are allergenic.
Apparently tudung has become one of the most sought after garments in Malaysia. Many tudung manufacturers have taken the initiatives to produce more tudungs that are nice-looking and eventually people started to see tudung as a fashion rather than just a religious requirement. However, since Islam encourages its adherents to live a modest and humble life, the creation of tudung in fashionable manner is restricted so that it does not look too extravagant. This is to ensure that the original purpose of wearing it is not to be confused with catching up with the trend like any other garments. Furthermore, the world’s fashion still does not give tacit approval to the idea of wearing tudung.
Fashion is always revolutionizing its form from time to time. It is an elusive and seductive concept. If you know how to use fashion accordingly and appropriately, you can manipulate the fashion to express yourself in many brilliant ways. It serves as an extension of your own persona and therefore it helps to build up your self-confidence in yourself. In my opinion, it is not the fashion that decides who you are and what you are as fashion is just another platform of expressing yourself. Self-esteem should be gained from developing your skills in socializing with others. Teetotal resort to wearing trendy items all the time is definitely not the right way to heighten your self-esteem to favorable level.
Now if we look into fashion a bit deeper, you might have this perception that designers are the ones who have the greater influence in popularizing any trend. Well, I don’t really think so. In my humble opinion, fashion is driven by the people; those who wear it. There are just so many fashion designs out there that were produced and then never hit the market. Why? Because people don’t wear fancy clothing whilst running their daily errands. People wear shirts and articles that are comfort and unmistakably simple. Fashion only seems to be apposite when we want to go for special occasions yet we only choose something that is not too arresting to avoid unnecessary excessive attractions from the public.
Wearing a regular headscarf is not uncommon amongst women in this world but it lacks what a tudung needs to look like. Of course tudung IS a headscarf but it is not just a headscarf. Designing a tudung is not like designing the regular headscarf. It has to be designed in a way that it could carry out the religious requirement and the same time it accomplishes the fashion needs. If you think about it carefully, you would find that achieving that ultimate goal is not something that is as easy as designing an ordinary headscarf, if you know what I mean.
Some women feel that they shouldn’t look frumpy when they go out in public but some just don’t take it as their main priority. Looking great at all times may be more applicable to artiste (though now we have Susan Boyle who is genuine at heart and a live proof that beauty comes from your heart) or those who meet clients everyday in their daily routines.
At the present day women are more eager to look elegant rather than glamour. Fortunately we have a lot of tudung designers that dedicated their works to producing more and more elegant tudung. By wearing this fashion tudung, not only you will be able to adapt yourself to one of the fashion accessories but at the same time you will be able to fulfill the Islam’s requirement. To be honest, there are also other collateral benefits such as protection from the rain as well as weather.
Being attractive might be one of the modern women’s dreams but at the same time they don’t really put that as their number one precedence. Their main concern is to be noticed and to be well recognized as having the same quality as men. Yes, equality in everything is what they want in this modern world and frankly say, they have work hard (and smart!) to prove that they are as great as men. What’s more, some women at present are more successful than some women could have ever imagined.
In conclusion, there are many ways apart from being a fashion slave to articulate your own self to the world. Avoid superfluous agendas in your life so that you can focus more on improving your capabilities to interact with others and also on your lifestyle. Mix around as much as you can but restrain yourself from bad-mouthing others. In order to be respected by others, you should first build up your rapport by being someone who is humble and modest in every way every angle. It doesn’t mean you have to be prude at all times; be yourself.
If you have missed my previous rantings, you are welcome to read it here at Koleksi Fesyen Tudung Muslimah. Oh yes, another thing that I would like to remind you is be careful when you buy tudung bawal online. You might be cheated with low quality tudung and that is definitely something that you want to happen.

Koleksi Fesyen Tudung Muslimah
I know that this blog is nothing more than just notorious blog hosted by Blogger and owned by a cili padi girl called Alisa Nurhanis. Who the heck is Alisa Nurhanis? Well, she might just be a hot young lady living next your door or a nyonya who had nothing else to do except expressing herself at the online world; counting her last days. Whatever your thought is, I will never disclose who I am or what I am. Of course, the name Alisa Nurhanis depicted here is just my pen name; a name I chose to claim any writings in this very blog.
It is hard to understand why people are just so nosy to know about others. Despite the actual ways of knowing people by greeting people (which was taught by my parents), people chose to gossip around and create baseless stories about me. I just don’t get it. Oh, could this be the newest way of greeting others? I hate Twitter; it is the latest way of badmouthing others. Oh yes, I hate Facebook too (fortunately I just can’t open it at my PC since it took darn so long to load the page).
Excuse my ranting here and I know for fact that you all are coming here to look for tudung collection. Sorry guys, this pretty blog is not just about that. From time to time I will post few articles about current issues that are related to, of course, tudung. I don’t want to restrict this blog with just offers and tudung promotion. Instead, I want to express my feelings and my own tenet to the whole world about tudung; why do we have to wear it, why some countries are having issues with tudung, and so on. In other words, I want to tell the whole world that we are not here to be told what to wear and what to do. We have our own minds and others just have to respect that. Period.
There are many ways to wear tudung. One of the most popular ways to do that is by convoluting the lower ends of the tudung around the neck to overlap the base part and ending it with some creative knots. This trend of wearing tudung is popular amid teenage girls as it looks really cool and furthermore it adds some variation to the tudung itself. Trust me, once you get yourself familiar with these method of wearing tudung, you will find yourself trying new ways everyday of doing it as it is really fun.
Some have managed to make it even more interesting by adding a shawl to cover up the lower part of the tudung. The shawl is put on around the neck too and let loose on both shoulders. You can always try out different shawls and different colors to give the tudung looks more appealing and more variant. Believe me my friends, you will look 10 times prettier with a head scarf than bare head and face (unless you have a beautiful hair to show off, I recommend anyone to try wearing tudung).
It is hard to understand anything that I have said earlier as I am pretty sure that if you haven’t seen someone wearing tudung, you won’t have the right images in your eyes to properly visualize what I said haha. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good pictures at this moment to show you as examples. However, I do have some but warn you though; these tudung pictures and “tudung gambar” is just for your own reference. Nothing more than that.
Some people said that wearing tudung is compulsory for Muslim women. Some said the other way round. And some said that tudung is only part of applying the modest lifestyle. I prefer the latter explanation and concept.
Think about it, some people (especially Malay men) prefer to confront with women that are not wearing tudung by saying bad things. Most of the time, those words are warnings and intimidations; scaring the women with some stories. Some men even took it to the next level by bombarding the women with bad words. My opinion; just ignore them. Really, just ignore whatever they said. More often than not, they have less knowledge about the religion than you. Why is that? Well, if they do know about what to adhere to and what not, they should never say things to you in the first place.
Islam is not a scary religion. Not at all and it is not even a religion that is forcing people to do things. If it was, none of the Quraish people would embraced the holy religion when our dearly loved prophet first introduced it to them. Do you know that Quraish people were so arrogant and their life is all about pride? Persuading is a no-no to them.
Unfortunately, men these days failed to practice the same manners shown by our prophet.
Ok, I rather not am going into this too deep. Let’s go back to our little nonsense discussion lol.
In Malaysia, tudung is as popular as wearing just shawl or sunglasses. Sunglasses? Yes, I bet that if you go out there at shopping malls, you will see more people wearing tudung than wearing sunglasses. Of course, they are in shopping malls, why would you wear sunglasses indoor? Well, at least that is true enough since if you check out other hang out places in town, you’ll more than likely to see women with tudung. Some are just wearing plain tudung, some would be wearing tudung ekin, and some would be wearing tudung bawal. A few of them though would be wearing tudung dubai and tudung visor.
If you happen to be in town, you can certainly confirm this scenario. Bring a notebook with you and creatively create your own tudung statistics. What I am trying to say here is tudung is no longer uncommon in Malaysia. Tudung is a fashion here. Wear it properly and nicely and you will be among those that are popular like Ekin or Diana Danielle. The only advice I can give you is don’t try to overdo it. Check out the latest tudung trend and you should find one that really suits you. It is okay to look like part of the crowds than look like a clown. Don’t be a laughing stock to others. Be yourself by choosing colors that suits you. Match the tudung with your garments in terms of the color and the code as well.
I have seen few girls wearing tudung with pair of jeans. I think I have no problems with that as long as they are showing the interest to wear tudung. Sometimes I think they look with that kind of attires.
That pretty much sum up our discussion for today. We’ll continue next time with more offers and articles about fashion tudung collection. If you happen to see me out there, you might be able to recognize me hehe but please do not be shilly-shally to say hi to me ok?
See you folks!

Updated on April 2013: Shopping for tudung is fun but why not take some time to listen to some music too? Feed your soul with good music and short stories like at Rembau Most Wanted.

If you happen to be in town, you can certainly confirm this scenario. Bring a notebook with you and creatively create your own tudung statistics. What I am trying to say here is tudung is no longer uncommon in Malaysia. Tudung is a fashion here. Wear it properly and nicely and you will be among those that are popular like Ekin or Diana Danielle. The only advice I can give you is don’t try to overdo it. Check out the latest tudung trend and you should find one that really suits you. It is okay to look like part of the crowds than look like a clown. Don’t be a laughing stock to others. Be yourself by choosing colors that suits you. Match the tudung with your garments in terms of the color and the code as well.
I have seen few girls wearing tudung with pair of jeans. I think I have no problems with that as long as they are showing the interest to wear tudung. Sometimes I think they look with that kind of attires.
That pretty much sum up our discussion for today. We’ll continue next time with more offers and articles about fashion tudung collection. If you happen to see me out there, you might be able to recognize me hehe but please do not be shilly-shally to say hi to me ok?
See you folks!
