This change in dress style is a form of self-discovery, or also known as self-concept. Self concept is process an individual’s to knowing or looking at herself. The research “Self-concept of Syar’i Hijab Users (Studies on Muslim Students in Medan)” aims to find out how self-concept of Muslim students who use the syar’i hijab in Medan.

Students who wear the syar’i hijab are considared muslim woman who are more obedient to their religious obligations compared to other muslim women because they can maintain their hijab, though this time come up various types and models of hijab that are more modern. The negative response that students get is their clothes looks like old womans clothes because size is bigger than other muslim womans clothes, and there are students who wear syar’i hijab but their attitudes do not reflect their clothes, like still not confine relationship with men. If the response the students gets is positive response, then the self-concept will be positive. Conversely if the response is negative, then the self-concept becomes negative.
