Grooming the Next Generation: The Young King Story

A Parent’s Discovery: Where Our Journey Began

The genesis of Young King isn’t in a lab or a boardroom—it’s in the quiet, overwhelming joy of welcoming our first child. When our beautiful brown baby boy, Kade, arrived with a beautiful, thick head of naturally curly and coily hair, our lives were forever changed.

Like all new parents, we dove into the world of baby products. We scoured shelves looking for clean, natural hair care specifically designed to nurture his unique texture. To our genuine surprise, and eventual disappointment, the market was silent. There were dozens of options for women and girls, but a glaring, empty space for young men with textured hair.

We quickly realized this wasn’t just a minor inconvenience; it was a profound unfulfilled need and a reflection of an industry that had historically overlooked and underrepresented young Black and Brown boys.

The moment was clear: If the products Kade needed didn’t exist, we had to create them. We needed to launch a brand that was just for him, and for every young man who looked like him.

Inspired by Kade, our greatest motivation, we officially launched Young King in December 2019.

Our Why: Redefining Grooming and Reclaiming Representation

Simply put, we’re here for young men who strive to be authentically themselves, from their classrooms to their communities and everywhere in between.

Our mission is dual-fold: to shake up the beauty industry and to change the narrative.

1. Redefining Male Grooming

We are here to redefine what male grooming means for the next generation. It’s not about fuss or complexity; it’s about confidence. We provide a straightforward, simple daily routine that actually works, giving young men the confidence needed to look and feel their best 24/7/365. Healthy hair is a key component of self-assurance, and our products deliver the moisture and hydration textured hair needs without the harmful ingredients it doesn’t.

2. Changing the Narrative

We fundamentally believe that representation is critically important. The traditional media and product landscape often fails to showcase young men of color as dynamic, expressive, and unapologetically confident. Young King is here to change that.

Our products, our branding, and our messaging all serve one purpose: to empower young men to see themselves as who they truly are—Young Kings—with confidence, swag, and dignity.

The Young King Difference: Intentional, Clean, and Effective

We didn’t just put existing formulas in new packaging. The Young King Difference lies in the intentionality of our plant-based, natural grooming products. They are specifically crafted for the unique needs of multicultural boys, teens, and young adults.

Love,

Cora & Stefan Miller
