The zaniest, most outrageous home-based businesses that actually work.

Rank: 9

L.B. Soc

Entrepreneur: Denise Reed Location: Detroit, Michigan
L.B. Soc

Description:

Though wacky, we think Denise Reed’s idea may be a winner. She’s in the business of manufacturing and marketing a nighttime grooming aid for the wearers of locs, braids and other natural hairstyles. Locs is a natural ethnic hairstyle that turn the wearer’s hair into long rope-like coils. “L.B. Soc” is a hair snood that completely encases the hair; each one is made of 100% silky soft polyester knit fabric. Reed makes all of the hair snoods herself currently and markets through her web site.
