Frederick Benjamin/Michael Craig Photoshoot

At the beginning of this month, I had a behind-the-scenes invite to view the Frederick Benjamin/Michael Craig photoshoot in DC. For those of you that don't know, Frederick Benjamin is a new natural hair and scalp treatment line created by Michael James. Initially started for multicultural men, this product has customers of all races and both genders. Free of harmful alcohols, synthetic agents, and mineral oils, the Frederick Benjamin products are full of natural oils to ensure hair is at its optimal peak and maintains moisture and shine without being greasy. Affordably priced, Frederick Benjamin ) has a full line of products to ensure complete hair care.



Now, for me, Michael Craig Men's Grooming is a first. This is the first ever full service barbershop that I have visited, not that I visit a lot of barbershops! This business, exclusively for men, offers shampoos, haircuts, shaves, manicures, pedicures, and other services for its clients. Located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of DC, this barbershop provides customers with complimentary wi-fi, flat screen televisions to watch sports, and allows men to bond while they are recieving the latest in men's grooming; Michael Craig even has the Resource and Educational Center where professionals can learn the latest techniques in men's grooming.
While spending a few hours at the shoot, my girl Original Najeema and I were able to witness all of the work that went into making the models get camera ready and view the instructional video that was made. We were able to speak with Mr. James and his cousin Alex Sutton III, who works in business development for the line, about their hopes for where these photos and videos will be distributed. A relationship was also established with Mr. Craig, who has had his barbershop open for approximately 3 years. The shoot also afforded us the opportunity to meet make-up artists, an image consultant, and a few of the models.
This was an eventful occasion, and I am glad that I was able to be a part. So, for you guys, and ladies, I suggest you give Frederick Benjamin a try. You won't be disappointed with the results. And to you gentlemen that live in the DMV, or will be visiting the area, I encourage you to visit Michael Craig Men's Grooming. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the results.
Until next time, stay nappturally beautiful...and handsome!
