Covering your neck should not give you a double chin you do not normally have. If wrapping tightly is the only way you can avoid it, there is a better way. A few small tweaks fix the look without showing your neck.
The quick version: Do not pin tight right under the chin. Keep it slightly looser so the fabric touches without pressing, off-center the magnet or pin to the side to reduce bulk, and choose a fabric with a little structure.
Pinning the hijab tight and high right under the chin pushes the skin up and creates a fold, even on people who have no double chin normally. The instinct is to wrap tighter, but tightness is exactly what causes it. The fix is placement, not pressure.
Keep the fabric under your chin just touching, not squeezing. You still cover the neck fully, but without the fold. A stretchy fabric like jersey helps here because it moves with you instead of digging in.
Let the fabric rest against the skin, cover the neck, keep it gentle.
Wrapping so tight it hurts to swallow, which only deepens the fold.
Instead of pinning or placing the magnet dead center under your chin, move it slightly to the side. This reduces the bulk right at the front and softens the whole area. Pinning the short end toward the opposite collarbone does the same job.
Softer fabrics like jersey cling and can accentuate roundness, while a fabric with a bit more structure holds a cleaner line. A loose, draped style with a ninja cap for neck coverage lets you keep the front relaxed while staying fully covered.
Keep the fabric under the chin touching but not tight, and off-center your pin or magnet to the side to cut the bulk.
Yes. Very soft fabrics cling and show roundness. A fabric with a little structure holds a cleaner line.
It is. It covers the neck fully so you can wear the front loosely without exposing anything.
