It is a well-established and known fact that the number of African American women and men globally and nationally wearing Locs are grossly underestimated in the statistics on Natural Hair.   The Natural Hair industry has its roots essentially as a “cottage industry” an almost “underground” “subculture” industry which pioneers like Madame CJ Walker opened up.  They created a path for struggling Black Women particularly, to have a means of providing for their families.  I recently reviewed “ethnic hair care” industry statistics which definitively indicated many segments within the industry that are unaccounted for by mainstream American reports.  Black Men are definitely not even a part of this equation, not at all. They are non-existent in this arena as in most (except Sports of course).  It’s really crazy when you think about it because if you walk down any Urban community in America in 2015, you’ll see throngs of “Kings”, Black Men, wearing the most beautiful, strong and healthy Locs you’ve ever seen. 

As a “Keeper of The Crowns” for over 25 years, I have been honorable and respectful to Black Men because I truly love my Brothers.  Although in the beginning when I started out making Hair Jewelry I failed to consider them (actually at that time it was mostly women locking their hair).  Wow, how that’s changed. Becoming more conscious, I slowly but surely began to incorporate Loc pieces for Men; “Hair Peaces” and cultural and symbolic unisex “Hair Charms”.  As I expanded to create Ponytail Accessories for Women with Locs, Natural Hair, and thick or curly hair; I also began to design masculine Loc Holders for Men. Got a “King” with Locs; know a man with Locs - a male friend, a brother, cousin or uncle with Locs? Send them to New Bein’! I am committed to reclaiming our Crowns with the resplendent glory beginning in ancient Nubia and living through New Bein' ! Loc Grooming Services & Products for Men with Locs!
