Urbanbella helps you get curly hair worth loving

Filed under: Hair Care


Having curly hair is like having an unpaid second job, with all the time it takes to find the right product and the right technique to make your behave and be beautiful.

Atlanta-based Keneesha Hudson got tired of living a double life and decided to make it her first job. She opened Urbanbella, a "Curly Hair Apothecary" that specializes in curly, kinky and wavy hair textures.

Adding to her own experience (her hair looks awesome, and isn't she pretty?) Keneesha and her team of experts find and test the best products.

If you can't make it to Georgia to have an in-person consultation, you can at least check out Urbanbella's favorite products, like Kinky Curly Curling Custard and Miss Jessie's Stretch Silkening Crème, and follow Keneesha's tips for bringing out the best in your curls:

Do...
  • Wash three times a week -- or less!
  • Use conditioner and a wide tooth comb
  • Apply styling products to dripping wet hair
  • Give your proper amount of moisture with the right products
  • Find a stylist who respects and loves your curls!

Don't...
  • Don't blow-dry your curls. If this is a step you just can't skip, dry with a Diffuser or Tabletop dryer instead
  • Flip your hair over and diffuse the ends very lightly to create volume
  • Don't towel dry your hair - gently squeeze the water out without ringing your hair
