Mantl
We love a bald head in my house, in fact, it seems the world is embracing the bald movement. More and more men are saying goodbye to their hair and hello to a bare scalp. Gone are the days when men feel ashamed for losing their hair prematurely and as a the wife of someone who has recently decided to embrace the young and bald brigade, I can say that the look is quite lovable.
The bald trend has caught on so strongly that products just for bald and balding men have been popping up like wildflowers. Although a beautiful thing to see, many products for the modern bald man still don’t work for the Black bald man. An age of agony for the Black man, finding products that won’t leave a white cast or just sit on top of the scalp is seemingly as old as time itself and hasn’t changed much…until now. Allow Lawrence and I to introduce you to the manly marvel that is Mantl.
Created by founders Pete Ricci, Irene Kong, and Karamo Brown ( You probably best know him for being one of the members of the hit show ‘Queer Eye’) MANTL represents a range of skincare products for the Face + Scalp that are inspired by bald folks, but work for everyone. While perusing the brand’s website I found a fact that blew me away. Check this out.
Okay, so here’s the deal with your scalp. It ages about 6x faster than the rest of our skin. Plus, your scalp naturally has more oil glands. When we lose our hair, the scalp loses that additional layer of protection. That’s why it's important to cleanse, moisturize, and protect your whole head from environmental stressors (like the sun).
I had no clue and I’m sure you didn’t either. Back to Lawrence though. When my husband decided to accept his hair loss and redefine his look with a bald head, he, in full Lawrence fashion wasn’t going to simply shave off his hair without a plan to maintain and keep his head healthy. One day on his quest for products for regular shaving he stumbled on Mantl and it was kismet. Without hesitation, he bought the entire line and hasn’t looked back since. Every product worked perfectly for him and his lifestyle, instilling new confidence I hadn’t seen before. He was bald and bold and I loved that for him. Out of all of Mantl’s offerings the Invisible Daily SPF 30 is a Black man’s answered prayer… but don’t take my word for it…
Altogether, Mantl offers 5 amazing products as well as 3 sets to kickstart the bald man’s skincare and scalp care journey. All of the products are paraben-free, have no dyes, and no synthetic fragrances. I personally live for the smell of the Mantl products, especially the Invisible Daily SPF 30 that tops Lawrence’s head off with the most insatiable kiss of citrus.
Let’s face it, we all know someone who is bald or balding. Being a man without hair on their head is no longer an old man’s look but something to be unapologetically bold about. After finding Mantl Lawrence swiftly embraced his bald head and puts his best face forward every single day. The next time you see your bald/balding loved one give them the gift of confidence and unparalleled scalp and skincare with Mantl.
