Black Hair Creators and Stylists Making Waves

Black History Month is a time to celebrate and recognize the contributions and achievements of Black individuals throughout history. During this period, people all over the world come together to pay homage to the rich and diverse history of Black people. The month also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles and inequalities faced by the Black community and the importance of creating a more inclusive and empowering future for all.

At Boho Locs, we understand the significance of empowering and uplifting the Black community. We are dedicated to promoting inclusivity and diversity and have taken proactive measures to ensure that we are at the forefront of this cause. Our partnerships with other Black-owned businesses, including photographers, creative directors, content creators, and influencers, are a testament to our commitment to the Black community. By collaborating with these businesses, we aim to grow and support each other, thereby ensuring the continued growth and success of the Black community.

Boho Locs was founded by CEO Lulu Pierre, a female entrepreneur who saw a gap in the market for protective hairstyles. After a Brazilian blowout damaged her hair, Lulu couldn't find any protective styles or crochet locs she liked, so she created Boho Locs. Initially made just for herself, Lulu quickly realized that her creation was too good not to share and soon, the business took off.

In our blog post, "Why Should I Buy Black," we shed light on the significance of supporting Black-owned businesses and showcased the success of one such business, Naturalicious, led by CEO Gwen Jimmere. We encourage you to read this post and gain a deeper understanding of why it is crucial to support Black-owned businesses. Boho Locs is proud to have partnered with  other Black-owned businesses to support and grow the Black hair industry.

At Boho Locs, we believe that inclusivity is crucial to promoting diversity and empowering the Black community. We make a conscious effort to feature models of different shapes, sizes, and beautiful melanated shades within the Black diaspora to showcase that beauty comes in all forms. We believe that representation matters and that everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the products and services they use.
