Here are 5 tips to help protect your natural hair from the environment:

Once it rubs against the hair shaft it wil not cause friction or frizz which can result in moisture loss.
There are satin lined headwear for inside and out.
You can wear a satin lined beanie if you need to run errands or head to work in the rain. As well as, do not forget to wear your satin cap right when you're about to go to bed. So as you're resting and rejuvenating for your beauty sleep, your hair is being protected overnight.
2. Moisturize Your Hair:
One of the keys to having healthy hair is to keep your kinks hydrated at all times. If your hair is dry it is more susceptible to being damaged once it's exposed to the environment. Your hair is in a weak state so it may break easily, cause severe frizz as well as cause shedding.
The best way to keep your hair moisturized is by using a leave-in conditioner.

This may be difficult to do depending on where you live or work.
However, if you do try your best too. Exposure to pollutants such as smoke, and gasses can cause damage to the health of your hair and scalp. The pollutants will absorb into the hair shaft and rob it of the moisture that it needs to thrive. Do avoid spending extended period of time in these areas. However, if you can't do wear a protective headwear that is lined with satin (see tip #1).

Products made with chemicals will leave your hair in a vulnerable state when it's exposed to the environment.
