Ladies, let’s talk hair accessories! I’m all for embellishing natural hair with cute barrettes, scarves and headbands. Hair accessories add flair to any look and can bring otherwise “tired” styles to life. Check out my list of must have hair embellishments for natural hair.
Flower Power
I know we’re going into the fall season, but there’s nothing like a sweet flower in you hair to pep up your step on dark and gloomy days. Check out these stunning renditions of the always classy flower in hair look.

Beautiful Bow
Bows are reminiscent of elementary school girl days, but even as a grown woman who’s done with school I still like them- A LOT! You can rock bows big or small to add an extra youthful, feminine touch to any outfit.

Printed Turban
I thoroughly enjoy the look of an African inspired printed turban on long braids, a twist out or havanna twists. The look is so regal and never fails to draw the attention of many admirers.

To be recognized as the goddess you are, you might be interested in a style such as this. Wear your hair in a smooth, low bun and add the finishing touch with this special headband. You’ll definitely win some compliments!

Hair combs are oldies, but goodies. They add a really special, classy look to any outfit. While you can spend a pretty penny on a very nice, crystal studded comb, you can find more affordable (albeit at much lower quality) at one of my favorite fast fashion stores, H&M.

Depending on who you talk to, some will voice the opinion that loc jewelry is a little corny. I, however think it really just depends on how it’s done. Hey, just one little embellishment won’t hurt, plus it’ll give you the chance to know whether or not these little accessories are really your thing.

There are wide options available. These seven are, no doubts, are the preferred one! Specially, flowers, they look elegant as Natural Hair Accessories. As, I have curls, bows goes just perfect with it!

Man I used to rock those decorative hair combs when I had my TWA. Feel like they’re the most versatile/all-occasion out of the list.

All of these are cute! I like to read comments and found it so funny that every woman had a different favorite, so far. It’s so hard to choose for me :)… But to keep the flow going, I’d wear the beautiful hair comb. It’s not an in your face kinda Beauty, but a practical and elegant one. It’s great for fall.
I like a lot of hair accessories, but I have to be very careful and picky about which ones I wear. I once wore a sparkly headband that got tangled up in some of my coils. I didn’t notice til end of the day. I had to cut a few strands on the top of my head before I could safely remove the band.
Bows: I do wear these sometimes, but not the clip-on barrette kind. Instead, I use a silk scarf as a headband and tie it into a nice big (or small) bow on the top or side of my head.
Silk scarves: My #1 accessory. I have a big collection of long narrow silk scarves. I can use them as headwraps/turbans, headbands, bows, and puff/bun/messy ponytail holders.
Hair sticks: My #2 accessory. I have a really pretty stick with silver beads on the end — and I can’t use it often, because sometimes my hair gets tangled up in the beads. But I also have lots of smooth hair sticks that have no beads or fake gems or anything like that on ’em. Actually, most of my hair sticks are decorative chopsticks.
Ribbons: Years ago, I was on a braided updo kick for a couple of months. I often wove ribbons into my braids. I haven’t done that in a long time. (Note to self!) Ribbons can be the gift-wrapping variety, or long strips you cut out of a silk or satin scarf. Whenever I alter a silk or polyester blend top or skirt (I’m only 5 feet tall; almost everything’s too long on me), I save the cut-off fabric and add it to my hair accessory collection.
Goddess band: Anything with a chain will get tangled in my hair. But I can probably make my own goddess band out of materials that won’t chew my hair up. Hmm, I see a project in my near future.
I love hair accessories!
All of them, except the loc jewelry. I’ve already got my Fall pieces ready to mix and match and these will set them off, especially the Indian bridal crown.

These are all very pretty, unique accesories. I never knew there was more than just the flower and forehead band. I do realize the forehead band is popukar amongst girls at school-atleast when I was going to school. Only some were wearing it but it was like a hair band. I see how fun and dandy styling and accesorizing your hair can be. I love all of them but the goddess band gives flare, touch and individuality. It caught my attention and it stands out to me.
That Leaf golden hair comb is cute.
I love this article! Such cute ideas. I actually whisper-screamed at the bow in pic 2.
All of them are gorgeous, but I’m going to try to wear the bow look at least once
I love the forehead band and loc jewels. So pretty.
I love that first Goddess band
I will probably be rocking the printed turban! 🙂
