The Obsession

Can you spend an hour or more in beauty supply stores?  Do you have multiple subscriptions to or can't help but pick up the latest hair magazine?  Is your 'under the sink' storage area so full that you have a special product area for your impulse purchases?  It's offiicial - you're obsessed.

Home Love Your Tresses Kings and Queens King of the Week: Antoine L. Hicks

King of the Week: Antoine L. Hicks

E-mail Print PDF

It is time.  That's right, folks.  We've got our first KING of the week!!!  This brother posted a few pics and my mouth dropped.  I mean, the line was so sharp it had me wanting to know what type of clippers/razor the barber used.  I don't know about you, but there is not much that compares to a clean brother fresh from the shop.  The shape up was oh so tight.

We tapped this King and he obliged.  Yes! Let's get to know him.

Quick Tip: Turn All Tressed Up blue by clicking on the arrow to the right of the main menu (at the top) and click on blue.

Who is your barber?

William Shanks, but we just call him Shanks. With a name like that I knew he could cut something.

Note: Shanks is located in the D.C. area.  We were unable to reach him, so hit us up Shanks if you're reading this. We'd love to blast your contact info.

What are your three favorite products? Why?

Lotion, first and foremost, I use Palmers Cocoa Butter because there's nothing worst than an ashy brother.  As far as my smell goods, I wear Angel for Men. I hate that I am telling you cause know I'll to go buy all the available stock. No two men should ever smell alike (Man Law). Pink Oil Moisturizer, I tend to get dry scalp so I definitely make sure that I massage that in.

Please describe your routine (i.e., haircut frequency, shape-ups, etc.)

I see my barber at least 4 times a month, so that's actually every week. The weather and amount of growth between visits determine what I get in the chair for. My routine, I usually start with a haircut, then that next week I when I go back, I get a shape-up. By the time the that next week comes back around, it's time for a haircut. My last visit of the month I get a shape-up. Now that's a lot ,but it assures two things: 1.) My barber is always happy to see me and 2.) I don't have too many days where my head and face are looking busted. I'm actually typing this in the barbershop now.

What is your favorite quote of the moment?

"If 'Shh, honey, don't scream' isn't working when your little monster is pitching an epic fit in the middle of Target, I will be happy to show you some moves from my mother's discipline handbook. Chapter One: "Spanking: Its Not Child Abuse If They Are Screaming."

How does it feel to be selected as the All Tressed Up King of the Week?

I was actually surprised when I found out. I've been very blessed and fortunate in my lifetime. I also have the esteem honor and privilege of the being the first All Tressed Up King of the Week, and you know what they say, you never forget your first.

Is there anything you would like to promote or share with the world?

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Curls: Milkshake Light Curl Styling Lotion

Curls MilkshakeSo, I check my good mailbox and guess what?!?!  I have a sample of this goodness - Curls Milkshake Light Curl Styling Lotion!  When it comes to styling lotions and milks I have to be extremely careful because I, unlike the majority of folks, have a tree nut allergy.  So yes, high concentrations of shea will not work for me.  Oh how I would love to use the products that contain shea butter - I just can't.  Anywhoo, I'm reading the attached brochure to find that the milk is that of the wonderful coconut!  Yes, the fruit that grows closest to the sun.

The Kitchen: An Ingredients Journey

Well folks, we have decided to consolidate.  Once upon a time we shared ingredient information with you via a sub-domain.  Beginning today, we're bringing that content inside.  We want this to be in all-inclusive experience for you. The Kitchen will now live on on this very website!  No need to venture off to another website!

One of the goals of All Tressed Up is to create awareness in an effort to help you make the right choices when selecting products.  Ultimately, this will help you choose more natural products.  As you already know, the skin is the largest organ of the body.  We are smothering it with lotions, potions and scrubs that are full of chemicals.  Let's make well informed product choices and put an end to supporting products that are designed to produce profit while ignoring things such as side-effects after continued use.
