Finding the right chapeau that doesn’t ruin your edges, create split ends or give you the terrible woes of hat hair is one of the hardest things for anyone to find.

I have found our savior in this never-ending battle of hair crimes in a business called Natural Born Hats.

Natural Born Hats is a black-owned business that was founded by two bosses, Jordan Wallace and Blaire Brown. These two best friends on a mission to help other naturalistas in finding stylish-yet-protective headwear that will allow your tresses to flourish without hair damage. Natural Born Hats provides stylish protection for men, women and children.

I have two of their hats, and I love them! They are perfect because they have satin lining, which we know is the greatest thing ever for naturals everywhere. It’s like having a satin pillow attached to your head at all times.

Most of their hat styles are unisex, but they have started to expand their line from just beanies and military caps to include: sunhats, fedoras, 5-panels and headbands. Every year, Natural Born Hats bring more and more to their arsenal for us to chose from. They have recently expanded their line to include colored fedoras and headbands, which I am currently gushing over.

Every natural man, woman and child needs one of these hats in their lives. I honestly haven’t been disappointed yet from this company, and they frequently have sales on their website. They broadcast their sales (usually ranging from 10-20 percent on their social media handles — @Naturalbornhats). I have never had a problem getting my order efficiently and in a timely manner. So if you’re looking for some extra protection this winter (or even for next summer) you should definitely check them out.
