Products & Hair

Yes — every NUELE product is formulated and clinically tested across all hair types: straight (1A–1C), wavy (2A–2C), curly (3A–3C), and coily (4A–4C). While the wavy, curly, coily spectrum is our expertise, our formulas are intensely moisturizing while being gentle on all kinds of hair.
It's as simple as three steps:

Step 1: Wash and towel dry hair.
Step 2: Begin with 1 pump and work your way up based on your hair type and style.
Step 3: Work through hair and style as you typically would. Touch up as needed throughout the day.

Start at the tips and bring excess serum to the roots. NUELE is powerfully concentrated — less is more.
Begin with 1 drop and work your way up based on hair length and dryness. If using on damp towel-dried hair, wait until hair is dry to exceed 4 drops.

For Natural Styles:
Fine hair: 1–4 drops
Wavy hair: 1–2 drops
Curly hair: 2–8 drops
Coily hair: 4–10 drops

For Blowout & Flat Iron Styles:
Wavy hair: 1–2 drops
Curly hair: 2–4 drops
Coily hair: 3–6 drops

Add more in 1 drop increments if your hair is particularly long or dry.
On straight hair, NUELE moisturizes and protects from heat and other elements. It smooths tangles, prevents knots, and tames flyaways for super manageable hair. It does not add volume but will protect when blowdrying and offer a great manageable base for additional styling.
Yes — particularly beneficial. Chemical colour processes break down the exact bonds our formulas restore. NUELE helps preserve vibrancy and rebuild structural damage from the chemical process. Our ingredients are all super moisturizing and protect the hair, making it great for damaged, dry, or coloured hair.
Yes. We recommend avoiding heat-treated styles if your hair is damaged. Wash and condition as normal, then use NUELE as your moisture serum. You may need to use it more frequently — three or four times a week — alongside your hair repair regimen.
Yes — massage it into your scalp. You may need more product as it will wick onto braids, wigs, or weave. Note: when wearing protective hairstyles, avoid pulling hair too tight at the scalp as this can lead to follicle weakness, breakage, and potentially Alopecia.
Yes. Wash your wig as usual, then rub NUELE into the hair as prescribed. Depending on the type and length of wig, you may need more than the standard amount. Style as desired.
Yes — excellent for hot oil treatment. Use about two or three times your typical amount to ensure it perfuses your hair shaft. When done, rinse with lukewarm water and finish with a cold rinse to snap your shaft back and retain moisture.
Use NUELE after washing your hair but prior to styling. You can also use it daily in small amounts to moisturize your tips or the whole hair shaft — especially important if you are in a dry environment that dehydrates hair.
Every NUELE formula is hypoallergenic and family-safe — no irritants, no sensitisers, no synthetic fragrance. Due to its entirely natural ingredients, NUELE is safe for children. However, some people are allergic to natural oils, so ensure your child has no specific allergy to our ingredients. Consult a doctor for children under 2.
Most customers notice improved texture from first use. In our clinical trial, 91% noticed improved manageability after two weeks, and 100% reported less breakage from first application.
Absolutely — the products are designed as a system. Think of NUELE as the moisturizing base layer with multipurpose capabilities that complements your other products. The full routine delivers compounded results, but every product also works standalone. The Hair Serum is the best single starting point.
NUELE formulas contain no filler water — just active ingredients that do something. More concentrated formulas, better results per drop, and less packaging waste.
Yes — 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and never tested on animals. No animal was harmed in the making of our products.

Ingredients & Safety

Every ingredient originates from a natural source — plants, minerals, or naturally occurring compounds. No parabens, sulphates, silicones, phthalates, or synthetic fragrances.
We source our ingredients from African farmers and strive to lift the economies of the communities we work with — particularly focusing on strengthening women-owned businesses. Key ingredients are fair trade sourced: shea butter from a female-led cooperative in Ghana, argan oil from a women's cooperative in Morocco. All other actives are certified organic or fully traceable.
Our product is made with only the highest quality natural ingredients. We recommend ensuring you are not allergic to any of our ingredients before use. Full ingredient lists are on each product page — patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin.
No known common allergens. Full ingredient lists are on each product page. Patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin.
NUELE is made with natural oils and any scent comes only from the ingredients themselves. We do not add any fragrances to our products.
