Elegant Hand Gestures: How To Use Hand Gestures To Make You Look More Confident and Feminine 

I think an important point is that it is extremely rude to wave hands around in fast motions, as well as point with a single finger. If you are ever complimenting someone's skirt, for example, you should never point at it with one finger whilst exclaiming adoration. But with a single, gentle hand motion, palm up, directing toward's the person's clothes is a much more elegant way to attract attention to something specific.

Jamila, I am an 8th grade student and my classmates look up to me as a good public speaker. I regularly watch your videos and learn a lot from them. Thank you very much!

her voice is so soothing omfg I'm addicted to it

Jamila it would be really helpful if you could do a fast food etiquette for things such as pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and chicken wins since they are not eaten in formal environments. Thank you in advance!

This is going to be an odd comment, but I have noticed when I take care of my hands and have a beautiful manicure, my hand jesters are more feminine.

Hello Jamila! I would suggest you to keep the flowers behind you as the bright contrast creates a distraction and it takes focus from you. Great video!!

Oh my goodness! I was just searching “elegant hand gestures” the other day. Very timely! Thank you

def agree with u , I use alot of gesturing when im speaking to clients. It really gives sense of security to the client cuz it gives confidante and in charge vibe, therefore they will trust you more.

As I'm watching this, I'm being reminded fondly of ballet classes from my childhood. I think that's where I learned how to hold my hands and gesture. Very grateful for this video, thank you 🌷

Your videos never disappoint me, Jamila 🎉 Although hand gestures are important when we are delivering a speech, I think it's essential to control the amount of gestures we do and try to have delicate movements as possible, otherwise we can make the other person feel nervous or distracted by our hands. It happens to me a lot, maybe because I'm a highly sensitive person, that some people who are very frenetic and exagerated with their body language makes me feel a little bit of anxious.

I liked the finger touch and wrist dangle tips the best because I've never heard of them being used as hand gestures. This was a great video, Jamila! Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for this video Ms. Musayeva! Definitely will prove to be very helpful in the future! ❤️

woww, it is so amazing to learn this. I have never paid much attention to hand gestures ever, feels great to learn something new like this. You are so elegant, how you talk and express things so beautifully, i really find you full of grace and elegance.

I really needed to learn all of this. Didn’t know it before yay thanks Jamila. Hand gestures seems to be so important for feminine energy xxx

I actually never ever thought about the importance of hand gestures ever. Great video, now am wondering what i have been doing with my hands all thia while. Thank you so much. Lots of love 😍

Thank you so much for this one, I felt difficult to use my hands in proper way but now I can ❤️

Can I just say how you look like a hand model off the rip! You look like a model overall honestly ❤

The way you effortlessly guide us through each gesture, providing practical examples, is incredibly helpful! 🥰🥰Moreover, I must say that you, as the author of this video, have a natural talent for presenting information with grace and poise 💫✨ I look forward to practice these elegant hand gestures in my own life! 💃💃

I saw a lot of positive comments, and some very rude comments, but the best one was from an 8th Grader, thanking Jamila who showed genuine appreciation. Great video, btw! ❤

Amo todos tus videos. Siempre quise que hicieras un video de este tema, GRACIASS

Thankyou for this Jamila. I LOVE YOUR DRESS 💙

I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for your work ❤

Thank you Jamila... this is really so important to me and you have conveyed this beautifully! I have learned from you.⚘⚘⚘

We appreciate your content. They all contain meaningful insights. May God bless you always.

Amazing, Jamila. I love your content.

Thank you Jamila for your awesome and helpful tips! This is more important than we realize and you are helping us understand this. I would very like if you could do a video with several different scenarios, so we can see hand gestures according to different situations - perhaps 1-2 min video of ie. when eating dinner, with a date, and another with friends. Also other videos with other scenarios ie in an interview, in a breakfast/lunch with boss and colleagues. Also a video when sitting in a meeting with colleagues (how to sit and hand gestures when talking but also when listening to colleagues. Also a video when being in an important meeting with clients. All of these is sitting down. Thank you again for what you share! 🌹

I'll be doing more of these hand exercises to loosen up my fingers and wrists and create that softness that makes the gestures easier. Thank you! ❤🌹

EXCELLENT Topic! Would love to see more body language tips from you

Thank you very much for the hand dangle explanation, which is very elegant and not used by many women these days... unfortunatly ! Let's use it more and become very elegant women, with the rest of your sugggestions of course !!

Your earings are always so elegant. It is interesting to see all your collection in the future video.

Thank you, Jamila. Very good tips.

woow ,Jamila, it's my first time in your channel,I wish you the best🇦🇿 I feel prouded for you.great content❤️🙏

I love your voice. It is very soft and relaxing

Thank you so much fro this 💕

Many times, I believe, the problem is that people overthink and obsess about details, when if they just ignored it and let their hands just be, they'd most often be fine. It's an art, not a science, every one has their way of communicating, some are more reserved, others are more expressive, what's important is that we understand each other. In my martial arts class there's a student I often train with that's a bit of a perfectionist, and obsesses about the tiniest little wrong thing, and the more she stresses about it the worse the whole sequence becomes. That's the point when I say a stupid joke to make her laugh and relax, and have her do her next attempt while she's still talking, and often it goes better because she's not as tense and just lets it happen. We've been practicing for long enough that her body knows what to do, it's her head that gets in the way. If you think you're doing something wrong, sometimes the answer is to think less, and just do. Let things happen. Find your flow and learn to go with it. I promise you're not as inept as you think. "Oh, but what if I embarrass myself?" It's never going to go as bad as you think. And if you never fail, you'll never succeed; it's called practice. You weren't born knowing how to walk, were you? I don't know when this rant became a pep-talk but here we are. You'll do fine. Think less, and just do.

YOUR VOICE IS SO RELAXING

Oh my... I have OCD and I wash my hands with soap multiple times/day and I only moisturize my skin twice a day: in the morning and in the evening after taking a shower. Yes, my hands are dry, dehydrated, and flakey 😞

You are Brava Jamila. Thank you for your videos.

So useful thank you

thanx i learned a lot😀

Thank you babil, for being yourself. All my life I have struggled to fit in, I am same age as yours and I completely get the feeling when you say ' you know how I am' . I always felt so different and sometimes I tried to buckle up and be very much of today's time but then I couldn't be that for very long and struggled internally, it's beautiful to see someone who is very much fine being himself

☀️☺️very interesting, thank you!!! 🌹

i love the handclap one i think i will use it from now on.

I thought that my parents were particularly concerned regarding etiquette but then I look at her and realize how lucky I am

You are such an elegant woman!

i love the hand dangle gesture! - i was just watching an interview with actress monica bellucci and found something particularly captivating yet couldn't quite place it - as soon as you said 'hand dangle' and then showed the gesture it immediately connected! - she was doing this gesture quite a bit in the interview - i mean, she is obviously beautiful in numerous ways, but i do agree with you that 'hand dangling' is just immensely lovely - thank you, Jamila! interview: 'Malena - Monica Bellucci, Giuseppe Tornatore - Interviews' channel: la Bella Bellucci

the last hand gesture is my favorite! (i always do that whenever I'm hanging out with my friend )

Hey! Jamila I really really love your contents so so so much and this video is so so helpful to me in my life you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 800K Subscribers very very soon!💓🙂💫

Thanks for sharing!

Even as a kid , i always thought that pointing at something with a single finger was just too intense and it just felt uncomfortable. So, everytime i wanted to bring attention to something i would do so by put my palms facing up .

Best etiquette 😍

Thank you Jamila for these very helpful tips on hand gestures. It would also be helpful to know about head and eye gestures in various social and professional situations

Thank you for your tips!

It's always nice to see you darling. Iyi ki geldin

Your lotion is scented. Not flavored. Flavor is what you taste with your tongue. I see people who’s first language is not English misuse these words often and wanted to point this out to you, with respect.

Thank you Jamila for your awesome video. Can you also make a video about a correct posture when sitting at the dinner table? And also the position of the hands during eating and during the conversation? Would be very helpful🙏

WILL YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND GET IN, SUV'S and SEDAN SIZE PLEASE :) THANK YOU

Dear jamila , I’m obsessed with your etiquette style while delivering any content. Thank u for all this guidance . Pls make video for getting feminine hand like u have😊

It’s funny that you mentioned the dangling hand pose-it’s actually a very beautiful to portray hands in art usually with the middle and ring finger close together.

super helpful!

Productive content. Elegance ends on you, Jamela😍 Keep up good work! 💟

Excellent topic Jamila, Body Language is very important tool to use it correctly I’ve read Joe Navarro book The Dictionary of Body Language I recommend it to everyone, you can learn a lot from his book and also you can watch his interview online. Thanks Jamila

Fantastic video! 👏 Your breakdown of hand gestures and their meanings is so insightful. I never realized how powerful non-verbal communication can be. The examples you provided are really helpful, and I'm eager to incorporate these gestures to enhance my communication skills. Your explanations are clear, and I appreciate the attention to detail. Looking forward to practicing and refining my hand gestures thanks to your guidance. Keep up the great content! 🤝✨

Thank you! this was really helpful!

Thank you so much....😊

hi miss jamila i will try to practicethe hand clasp and tap the fingertips as my gesture after this, thank you for the lesson

you are amazing ! tank you for making me more feminine, i really needed your videos in my life.

Very intresting and helfull

Thank you Jamila!

you are so sophisticated

I'm a female but my hands (& feet) are big width & length😂🤣) & not feminine to begin with so I always try to hide them. Doing these gestures would emphasize this even more. Especially when I am presenting something, it always draws attention to my hands & people look, so I try but not easy to hide. I think I will try moving more subtley &slowly.

All your videos are very good

Thank you so much, Jamila, for your wonderful videos. I have been enjoying watching them and learning a few pointers where my parents' teaching left off. Luckily, my sister and I grew up in the era where the family dined together every night at a fully set dining room table with an extra special Sunday dinner every week. I am very grateful to my parents for the solid foundation they gave me. You have such lovely hands, it is a pleasure to watch them as you gesture along with your videos to elaborate upon a point or to place them elegantly on the table in front of you. I have auto immune disease and my nails are in terrible condition. They split, break and tear very easily. I also have arthritis in my hands and they tire quickly. Do you have any suggestions for: 1) times where I need to stand with a drink or purse in hand? 2) resting positions that look good but might not show my nails so dominantly or that allow me to completely relax my thumbs? By the way, I have always, naturally done the hand drop from wrist gesture. Although, I have to be completely truthful and tell you that when I've done that gesture, I'm standing and have nothing to occupy my right hand. So, with my elbow bent at 90 degrees, my hand dangles from my wrist at my waist and I look like the village idiot! My sister and I both have done it all our lives! 😮 Thank you so much for any help you may be able to offer me. Best to you.

I unfortunately have rough hands due to some household chores (I handwash some of my clothes with sensitive fabric and keeps the sink clean, hence always involve in wetting my hands and use soap chemicals) but I always bring a handcream with me formulated with niacinamide. I also use lotion with collagen on my hand in hopes they'll restore to what they were before.

Some great tips. Thank you for sharing your ideas ❤❤ I've always wanted to learn to be more feminine with my hands. I think another great tip for occupying your hands when you don't know what to do with them is to touch your hair or pretend to fix it one way or another?

Dear madam, Your videos are very helpful and educational. I really enjoy them and sometimes I go back to your older videos when I am in need of some structure and calmness - your kind, soothing style always makes me feel more poised. Madam, would you consider making videos or shorts about how to elegantly deal with rude colleagues/bad bosses/bad situations at the workplace? I sometimes lose my calm when I feel attacked at the workplace and sometimes I become too passive in such situations. Neither are good responses to such situations, and in my line of work, there are a lot of such situations. I would love to know how you would deal with such things. Yours, A

I really like ur videos...love from Pakistan ❤ Ur all tips r almost useful

Excellent Subject ❤ Thank you so much Jamila. Please make a video on different table settings. For example : Different course meals and cutlery settings from different countries

Hello🌻 Thank you so much for your great videos 🙇🏼‍♀️♥️✨ Could you please make a video about how can we have a great presentation?🙏🏻🌸🔆🌻

Nice

Very nice tips

I like the hand dangle! Does anyone know the difference between the gesture with the fingers tips touching, showing trustworthiness and openness, vs the hand steepling that is a power move and is considered to be rude if done by a subordinate?

Thank you sooo much jamila Ma'am for this amzing video i learnt a lot from your videos... thank you sooo much...🤗💐

Your videos are so helpful. I learn more from you than in school😂
