Five styles of Hijab, and one woman whose face and hair remained completely uncovered:
- Burqa: all-covering, with a fabric grille masking the eyes
- Niqab: like a Burqa, but with a slit revealing the eyes
- Abaya or Chador: fully covers the hair, ears, and much of the face
- al-Amira: a two-piece veil consisting of a close fitting cap and an accompanying tube-like scarf. Covers the hair but not the face
- Hijab: May reveal glimpses of hair and does not cover the face
- No veil
