​Accented Glory listens to our fans, followers, and customers! Many complaints against hair accessories, especially headbands, is that the constant tension cause headaches. Headband tightness also place stress on hairline edges. Our goal to provide quality designs lead us to our design station. We asked how can we resolve these problems?

Accented Glory's solution is stylish adjustable headband designs that allow our customers to control the tension! Not only did we solve the problems of tension headache and hairline stress, but we took it to the next level and used materials that don't cause damage to kinky, coily, and curly hair. Our Double Cowrie Shell Headband is our latest design and is created with satin ribbon. Accented Glory's African Print Headband designs are also satin lined. Satin lined headband designs don't dry out or cause breakage to natural hair. 


​Our adjustable headband designs are also created with closed knit elastic. When the elastic is stretched you don't have to worry about your hair getting caught in the elastic. Having natural hair friendly designs are very important to us. Plus we're team Save The Edges!

Burrr… It’s that time of year again! Winter weather is upon us. Wearing hats is a choice for many naturals to keep their heads warm. Also, a part of winterizing our natural tresses includes protecting and covering our hair from cooler weather while outside. For those of us who are hat wearers, we often find ourselves in a dilemma during this season. Most hats aren’t natural hair friendly. Naturals struggle with keeping their heads warm without causing damage to their hair.  

Most hats are created with materials and fabrics that are designed for warmth. This usually means the fabric is coarse with a closed knit weave to keep the cold out and the warm in. Many hats are created with fabrics like wool or tweed. Unfortunately, these coarse fabrics can cause friction with textured natural hair which can lead to hair breakage.

If you’re not so lucky to have a lined hat with a softer fabric, no worries! I Got You. I have created a YouTube Tutorial to solve your natural hair hat woes. In the tutorial, I share how to line your hats with a satin bonnet. Keep in mind, this is not a pass on properly moisturizing your hair. For team “Throw A Hat On It”, I still recommend that you moisturize your hair before wearing a hat and/or styling with any type of hair accessory. Check out my YouTube Tutorial on how to line a hat below!
