About Us

Loc’d in Medicine Was Created to Better Serve Healthcare Professionals with Locs.

Loc’d in Medicine was born with the mission to celebrate our uniqueness and provide high-quality hair protection to professionals with locs in medicine. The brand was founded by Raquel-Marie Nelson, a critical care nurse with Sisterlocs®  who was challenged with proper hair coverage and protection. To combat the work-around of wearing two disposable surgical caps, Raquel revisited her sewing skills and created adjustable satin-lined surgical caps. After being approached by male counterparts for custom surgical caps, she recognized the need to design unisex caps.

Though Loc’d in Medicine™ was initially birthed for healthcare professionals with locs, the inclusive brand has quickly evolved to provide high-quality satin-lined scrub caps for all healthcare professionals including those wearing loose natural hair or extensions, making sure all receive quality, comfort, and protection. 

We firmly believe that your hair doesn’t have to affect your performance at work, so we’re always figuring out ways to give all the protection, quality, and style you need so you can give your best in your workplace, while proudly rocking and protecting your locs.

 More than a company, we are a family for those like us, proud of who we are and what we do. We made a choice to loc our hair, but everything else about who we are is natural!
