Fall is easily the hardest season to be a Black girl. D’yall agree?
Just last week, our editor posted a video from influencer @ednaoks about a Black girl’s intrusive hair thoughts during fall, and honestly, it hit hard.
Is it just me, or does picking a hairstyle during this season feel like a whole event? Do you go for boho knotless braids (because let’s face it, braids are undefeated in the fall)?
Do you dye your hair ginger or opt for a ginger wig? Is it time for a sew-in, or should you just silk press those curls and call it a day? But then again, who has the time – or coins – for silk press maintenance?
It’s an endless loop.
That’s why I’ve developed a deep appreciation for wigs. Say what you want, but wigs give you something that other hairstyles just don’t – range. One week, you’re out here serving boho knotless realness, and the next, you’re full-on Bobbyana.
The versatility is unmatched.
And the best part? Thanks to Amazon, you can score high-quality, affordable wigs, allowing you to switch up your look without breaking the bank – whether it’s for fall, Thanksgiving, or even Christmas.
I tapped into the expertise of wig connoisseur @alwaysameera, and the fabulous wigs we’re about to explore are her ultimate fall go-to picks. Trust me, you won’t believe these beauties are from Amazon.

Amazon Knotless Box Short Bob Braided Loc Wig, $95
This braided loc wig is a must-have for fall! It’s cute, short, chic, and oozes Halle Bailey vibes. So, what’s not to love?
The only downside? According to Ameera, it’s double-laced, and she’s not a fan: “My experience with double lace is, I don’t like it,” she says. So, she recommends taking one of the layers out otherwise you’ll have a full-on equator on your head.
You also have to be patient, laying down your baby hairs and edges can take a bit of time with this, but the end result makes it all worth it. Just see how awesome she looks. Isn’t she a beau?

- Cons: Some shoppers note that the quality of the number could be better. The double lace is also not very pleasing

“Like look how it looks like it’s growing out of the scalp? Like what are we talking about? For $89. From Amazon? What?” Ameera gushes. It truly is everything.
What’s more. It’s really soft – softer than some curly brands that cost a little more money, Ameera says – and it features an invisible lace and a kinky curly hairline that effortlessly melt with your skin. No fuss no muss.
The only downside? It tends to shed alter a few uses. Otherwise, it’s one of the fall-ready wigs on Amazon.

“Y’all won’t be able to clock this. And if you did, you’re a hater,” she jokes. The hairline is practically invisible and while the knots are slightly bigger than the ones you’d get from a stylist, this bb is one of the best looks you can get for yourself this fall. No cap.
- Pros: Easy to install, versatile (you can pull off a pony, side-swept look or a low bun)
- Cons: Sightly expensive compared to other braided options on Amazon, the knots are slightly bigger than usual

Sew-ins are some of the most versatile wigs you could ever get for fall. You can rock them as curls, as seen on Ameera here, as waves, or even as straight hair.
Honestly, the options are endless. And the best part is that with proper maintenance and care, you can re-use your sew-in over six times.
“All you need is some mousse, a brush and some water and that’s going to get this hair curled right up. Now you can use just water to get this hair curly but that’s like adding no seasoning,” says Ameera.
If you don’t know how to install a sew-in, Ameera has a tutorial for you here. She also shows you how to get a snatched up straight fall wig look.
