As owner of Urbanbella, an Atlanta apothecary-style salon and store that caters to women with kinky, curly, and wavy hair textures, Keneesha Hudson has mastered the art of the curl.

On your honeymoon, you realize that you've spent oodles of this time and money grooming your goods, your brows and your legs so that they are free of unwanted hairs, but you're guy is more hairy than a chimpanzee!
