I’ve gotten a few questions about sun hat recommendations for us natural girls with a lot of hair. We all know the struggle of finding hats that fit our gorgeous curls and coils! After some research, I found a few amazing options that are both stylish and practical, including a mix of customizable hats, larger sizes, and convenient visors. Plus, I’ve linked some of my favorites from my ShopMy page and my Amazon storefront for easy shopping.
Let’s get into it!
1. Straw Visor (Pineapple Style or on top of hair)
A straw visor is an easy go-to! Put your hair up in a pineapple style, and you’re ready for summer outings. It’s cute, functional, and adjustable.

I like to wrap in a silk scarf to make a small head. Hat on top and total protection. Hat can come off, pretty scarf. No comb out. Swim? Bring cap. Rinse, condition, silk wrap, back under hat till home! I know it’s a lot but I love my lush, thick coils and thus us how I keep them from drying out in hot summers. Plus, super elegant on the beach or poolside in the tiniest bikini or white one piece you dare to wear. I dare! Got that Brazilian wax😉
That’s a great idea!
What about Winter Hats for big natural hair?
Thanks!
Let me work on that!
