How To Wear Ihram
When you intend to wear ‘Ihram’ you should at first take a bath though only making an ablution (Wudhu) will also suffice. It is Sunnat (Tradition of the Holy Prophet) before bath or Wudhu to have the nails pruned, to lower down the moustaches by trimming, to undershave, to shave the armpits and to have a hair cut or shaven if it has been usual ; otherwise to comb the long grown hair. For ‘Ihram’ It is Sunnat to comprise of two sheets of cloth, new or used but washed. One sheet should be used as a loin-cloth and the other as an upper cover. The sheets of black or any other colour are also permissible. When it is cold, blankets or towels can also be used.
