Luster Products
Relaxers create uproar within the
black community
In the early 1950s Freddie J. Luster Sr. was barber on Chicago’s Southside. Realizing that relaxers were creating an uproar within the Black communi- ty, he started to provide relaxer services to his clients. As his relaxer clientele base continued to grow, he thought it wise to produce his own brand- ed relaxers. He began to mix di erent formulas in his basement. Through trial and error, he created ‘Luster’s Style Creme’ Relaxer, and from this Luster Products, Inc. was born.
Mr. Luster had a passion to care for the beautiful variation of textured Black hair, which led him to create product lines that address all hair needs.
