Items of Royal Crown

Royal Crown is a brand of J. Strickland & Co., a manufacturer of multicultural hair and skin care products. In 1936, founder George B. Long borrowed $500 to start his own company. His desire was to produce quality products at affordable prices. Among the first products Mr. Long launched were Royal Crown Men's Pomade (a soft, oil-based pomade for men) in 1938 and the slightly softer Royal Crown Hair Dressing (a pomade for young ladies) in 1951. Fans and users of the Royal Crown Pomade in the 1940s included American pilots. And in the 1950s, Royal Crown Hair Dressing—although intended for women—enhanced the pompadours of the era's most famous singers and actors, such as E. P. from Tupelo, Johnny C. from Kingsland, and Little Richard, who even promoted Royal Crown Hair Dressing in a radio commercial. Today, J. Strickland & Co. is a huge company with numerous traditional brands, which fortunately still produces these wonderful pomades.

Along with pomades from brands like Murray's, DAX, Sweet Georgia Brown, and Black & White, J. Strickland pomades are THE great classics of American pomades and a unique reminder that keeps the fascinating rock 'n' roll era of the 1950s alive.
