My hair defined me for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always told that my hair was too big, too frizzy, and most importantly, not girly enough. All my childhood pictures are compiled of one straight strand after the other, I just wanted to look like everyone else. As I grew up and was starting to gain my own identity, I realized that my hair wasn’t holding me back, in fact it made me more special.

I grew to love my big, curly hair and learned to prioritize taking care of it. I spent years trying every styling product out there. I was on a mission! I could never find the perfect product that balanced nurturing my hair while helping me achieve the perfect look. That’s when the idea for LOCKEN was born.

Now, my hair is the first thing anyone notices about me. To me, hair is an artistic form of self expression, it vocalizes identity and attitude, screams presence and is in fact an extension of who I am.
