This beanie-like hat is amazing for the colder fall weather. SLAP hats help curlies to protect their hair thanks to its satin lining, which prevents friction, frizz, and keeps moisture locked in! Rocking the SLAP hat is like wearing a trendy bonnet all day long. Grace Eleyae has a great choice of colors for fall, from black to nude to pink.

Silk or satin headscarf
Add a pop of color to your pineapple or curly bun the next time you head out by using a satin or silk headscarf. Sometimes, we like to still have our curly ends out on display while protecting our length, so this a great way of having the best of both worlds. This style has been popular on Instagram lately with the likes of @Chelliscurls creating gorgeous curly hairstyles with them. You can pick 1 of these up at your local beauty store or Amazon.
Turban
Turbans, or headscarves tied like a turban, are a great way to get full coverage for those days when we need to hide a bad hair day from edges to ends! This style is popular amongst hair bloggers and celebs alike! The Ruby Sampson Headwrap is another silk lined gem perfect for bad hair days to slay and protect. For the full fall fashion effect, the only thing you need to style is your edges.
Backless cap
Beyoncé hit the nail on the head with this one! This hat blew up the natural hair corner of Instagram, as we all felt like it was made specifically for us! For those of us who love the cap and snapback look but honestly can never get 1 to fit all of our curls, the Ivy Park backless cap allows room for them to breathe.

Fedora
Nothing says fall more than a fedora. As autumn arrives you’ll see more and more of these posted on the gram, and this straw version is perfect for this transitional season.
