High Performance Line for Men
Direct from London is a groundbreaking, iconic, British and award winning line of high performance hair products for men. Lock Stock and Barrel Grooming offers the modern man a full range of styling, shampoo and conditioning products he can depend on.
Lock Stock and Barrel fully understands the needs of men. Men desire a brand that they can be proud of, one that endorses their masculinity.
“We launched in the U.S. at the Long Beach Expo in January 2008, explained John Albanese of LSandB USA, “and the booth attracted an almost obstructive gathering of professionals. A particularly big hit with the boys was the Recharge two in one, shampoo and conditioner. ”

4. No More Wrist Pain for Hair Braiders
Wrist pain, strain and weakness is a problem that can have a negative affect on your braiding practice. Many stylists use a twisting technique or rattail comb when unbraiding hair, causing undue stress on the wrist. Additionally, the combs can break because they are not designed for such use.
Natasha Anderson-Imara, president of Glamour Devine, came up with a solution. The UnBraider is engineered to take down six to eight braids at a time. It is the only product on the market designed and engineered to do this.
The key features are: there is no twisting of the wrist; it is an ultra-fast hand-held tool for taking down braids and engineered and designed to take down micro individuals and corn rolls. It is engineered and designed to minimize hair breakage and loss and both take down braids while at the same time combing out unbraided hair. This is the two in one process.
