Fall is upon us and soon the leaves will be changing colors! The changing of seasons also brings an opportunity to dress our natural tresses with hair accents. For Fall accessorizing, I recommend the three H’s – Headwraps, Hair Cuffs, and Headbands! Head WrapsHeadwraps are excellent fall accessories! With the cooler temperatures, there’s a need to protect our hair ends. Headwraps are a way to keep your ends covered and protected from the Fall air and breeze.Inspirit Arts Short Closed Net Headwrap
Hair CuffsMany naturals choose protective styles for the fall season to protect their hair during cooler months. Hair cuffs are hair jewelry that can be worn on twists, braids, or locs. Hair cuffs are a great way to add subtle detail to a protective style.
HeadbandsHeadbands are one of the most common hair accessories. They’re a stylish way to hold your hair away from your face or cover-up the frizzy edges of an old protective style! They can also be worn slightly behind your hairline for a bohemian style around the forehead.

Accented Glory is highlighting our Fall designs this month. These natural hair friendly designs will be great accents for your Fall look. What makes our designs natural hair friendly? Accented Glory has three requirements for our hair accents: fabric, fit, and durability. Naturals need to avoid fabrics that will cause friction with textured hair and dry out hair. Coarse fabrics such as tweed can cause friction with textured hair and lead to breakage. Some cotton fabrics has a tendency to dry out hair. Many naturals already struggle with dry hair and there is no need to further contribute to the dryness. Softer fabrics with a smooth finish like satin are better suited for naturals because it don't cause friction or dryness. As naturals, we must also be mindful of protecting our hairline when choosing hair accessories. We all desire those perfect flat edges with the baby hair. Often time we use too tight ties, bands, or scrunchies to achieve this look, all along causing damage to our hairline. Unfortunately, hair accessories get a bad rap because we choose to wear too tight styles. How do you know if your hair accessory is a proper fit? It doesn’t hurt. Your hair accessory should not cause pain or headaches; it should be a comfortable fit. We recommend using hair care products to lay down your edges and not hair accessories. We're for team save your edges! Another feature that naturals should look for in hair accessories is durability. The hair care regimens of naturals includes various oils. These oils can breakdown many adhesives and rubber materials used to create hair accessories. The less rubber and adhesives used to create the hair accent the better! The hair accessory will last longer and endure natural hair care.
Accented Glory's Fall designs meets all the requirements mentioned above! Shop at our online store to purchase designs. The last feature that naturals should look for in hair accessories is style.
