Hair scarves
Hair scarves are a perfect way to glitz up any fall look. These simple accessories can bring your hairstyle to life and can be used in a variety of ways. Many times, headscarves are tied under the head and the hair is then pulled through to give a whimsical look. Many people wear their hair with loose curls, but straight hair would work for this look as well. Another way is to tie the hair scarf into a scrunchie. Scrunchies are a great way to brighten up any ponytail. Headscarves are a very affordable hair accessory. Urban Outfitters sells paisley headscarves for around $10.00. This is a very affordable way to give your hair all the fall vibes.
Beanies
Beanies are the easiest way to hide a bad hair day. Just add a few curls in your hair, throw on a beanie and call it a day. You can also pair a beanie with two loose braids or even straight hair. Beanies won’t only hide your greasy hair but they also bolden your outfit. There are so many different types of beanies in all colors, sizes, designs, etc. Beanies are a great way to express yourself in a cheap way!

Brimmed hats
What screams fall more than brimmed hats? Well, they’re coming in hot and fast. This new trend is starting to sweep across all fashion platforms. Wearing a brimmed hat is a great way to vivify your fall look. You can wear one with loose curls or even loose braids. There are multiple ways you can style your hair to pull off this easy look.
