KEEPING CURLY HAIR HAPPY
INTO FALL
08.25.09 | 4 Comments
Keneesha Hudson, CEO of Urbanbella, offers
some tips on how to keep your curly hair happy and
healthy as we move into the cooler months. I know
it’s still summer, but it’s not too soon to plan ahead!
Plus, Keneesha’s curly hair tips are useful year
round.
Styling: Keneesha says cooler weather means that
ladies rockin’ the curls, kinks and waves can spend
less time washing their hair and letting it air dry.

use clips or bobby pins to secure hair close to the
head or twist at night. Remove clips in the morning and fluff hair at the roots. Be sure
to use a firm styling gel or styling cream on wash day to help preserve your look.”
If your hair is prone to frizzies and fly-aways, Keneesha suggests a light refresher
spay that contains a balance of oil and water and twirl curls with finger to pull frizz
together for a defined curl. “Tighter curls and kinks need a heavier refresher blend of
water and glycerin product to hydrate the ends and then simply finger comb curls to
de-frizz,” she adds.

Hydration: As the weather starts to cool
down curly hair (already prone to dryness)
gets even drier due to the crisper air.
Keneesha says you should counteract this by
increasing hydration hair therapy. “Pump up
moisture by giving your hair deep treatments
more frequently than you normally do,” she
advises. “Extremely dry textures can even do

daily treatments. It’s also not a bad idea to
head to the salon for a professional steam hydration therapy. For an at-home
recession friendly (but still spa-worthy) experience, towel wrap your deeply
conditioned tresses for 20 minutes after at least every other shampoo before rinsing.”

oooh, kinda like a tight wave or curl, minus the corkscrew aspect? still feeling a
little gray area-ish to me, still see a little curling action in her hair, but i get the jist.
the only thing kink meant to me (within the realm of hair) was the major indent
that hair elastics leave in my hair.
