If you live in the Atlanta area or more specifically Buckhead then Miss Jessie’s products are not far from you. At Urban Bella you can get Miss Jessie products along with many other products tailored for curly hair and personal consultations on how to style your natural hair. They even have Curl Talk & Tea events where they feature products and techniques to get your naturally curly, kinky or wavy locks looking just right.

Owner Keenesha Hudson opened the boutique after running her own successful website recommending products for natural hair. So making the big chop eventually led to her taking the big plunge and leaving her lucrative career as a financial consultant to open Urban Bella- the curly, kinky, wavy hair apothecary.

And with summertime approaching you might want to stop in to get some styling tips because the humidity in the South can be murder on curly hair.

(Find out more about the events and products at Urban Bella- the curly, kinky, wavy hair apothecary, 141 West Wieuca Road Suite 202A Atlanta, GA 30342, 404.255.5022,or visit online @ urbanbella.net)

    I have been natural for almost 1 year and I need the correct products for my hair. I want those natural curls from using a guess a leave-in conditioner. I not sure of what products will give me the look I want.
    I have been wearing a wig because I just cannot get the look I want without spending a fortune at the hair salon.

    I want to go natural. What do I do? I havent had a relaxer in about 2 months and my hair is still short.

    Charlette,

    I think when taking care of natural hair one thing to remember is to look for products that don’t strip the hair and products that encourage and help the hair to retain moisture. I know a bit about natural hair but a great resource about natural hair care and styles is nappturality.com. For most people to find products that work for their hair specifically requires a little trial and error especially when it comes to working with a texture that is different than what your used to. Some product lines you would might want to check out that make shampoos, conditoners, leave-in’s etc. for natural are:

    Carol’s Daughter
    Kinky Curly
    Curls
    The Jane Carter Solution

    Good Luck

    SiomnaOnae,
    If you haven’t had a relaxer and want to go natural you have two options:

    1. Cut off all the relaxed hair and leave only the new growth to start over with.

    2. If you aren’t ready to sport a teeny weeny afro you can keep the relaxed part of your hair and find ways to style your hair that won’t cause breakage. Remember where your new growth ends and your relaxed hair starts is where the hair can break so you don’t want to do much tugging or pulling. The best hairstyles at that juncture are roller sets, spiral sets, straw type sets.

    Unfortunately with natural hair you will experience shrinkage that will always make your hair appear shorter than it is but once you get rid of all of what’s relaxed you can do anything to your hair like press it, flat iron it and blow it out. Once you make that big chop your options are endless.

    Hope that gives you some insight.

    you do not have to cut the perm out. this is per my beautician. you can slowly let your hair grow out and get trims. eventually the perm will be all gone. i havent had a perm in 9 months. i have about 3 inches of perm left and so far so good.
