About M&M Cosmetics

In 1973 two registered pharmacists, Cornell McBride and Thurman McKenzie started M&M Products in Atlanta, Georgia. Their purpose was to create a product for the African American market that would style the ‘Afro’ (a popular natural hairstyle). The natural tendency was after the Afro was combed out, it would shrink after two hours. McBride and McKenzie produced Sta Sof Fro, which allowed the hair to maintain its shape, while moisturising the hair to prevent it from looking dull and dry. The result was phenomenal for M&M Products, has demand exceeded production and within a few years M&M Products began to expand its product range and became the fastest growing companies on the Black Enterprise list.
