The NUELE story

Built for the hair
they left out.

The bond treatment category — led by brands like Olaplex and K18 — was built without curly and textured hair in mind. NUELE was founded by Black women to correct that: using 100% naturally derived ingredients, fair trade sourced from female farmers in Ghana and Morocco, and clinically proven to restore all three hair bond types across every texture.

Founded
By Black women, for all women.
NUELE was created by two women who couldn't find a bond treatment that worked on their own hair.
Formulated
100% naturally derived. Always.
No synthetic ingredients, ever — and the first in the bond treatment category to make and keep that claim.
Proven
Independent clinical trial. Every product.
Lab-submitted hair strands, not just surveys. Across all four hair types. December 2023.
Sourced
Fair trade. Female farmers.
Shea from Ghana. Argan from Morocco. Sourced directly from female-led cooperatives.
