Hello, I'm Dr. Christine Martey-Ochola, co-founder of Nuele and the Chief Scientist. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my role at Nuele is formulating products that provide exceptional benefits to our users. Today, I'm excited to share insights about our hydrating hair mask, a product that we carefully developed after thorough market research.
When analyzing the existing hair mask options, we noticed a concerning trend – many of the pre-formed hair masks contained toxic and unhealthy ingredients, particularly preservatives that could lead to scalp inflammation. This fueled our determination to create a hair mask that not only provides deep hydration and repair for the hair but also prioritizes the overall health and wellness of our users.
Hair masks are akin to a spa treatment for your hair, delivering enriching nutrition and hydration while leaving your hair feeling light and healthy. However, it's essential to ensure that these treatments do not pose any risk of harmful exposure to toxins. Hence, our focus was on crafting a hair mask that offers healthy hydration, aids in hair repair, and soothes the scalp without any accompanying toxicity.
Another noteworthy observation we made in the market is the limited functionality of many commercial hair masks, often catering to specific needs such as protein treatment or deep conditioning. Additionally, we acknowledged the prevalent trend of DIY hair masks, where individuals experiment with a variety of ingredients at home to achieve deep moisture and hydration for their hair. To address this, we designed a hair serum with ingredients that enhance the absorption of nutrients into the hair shaft, ensuring that the hair receives the desired health and hydration.
A common practice in DIY hair masks is the use of ingredients like olive oil, which, while beneficial, may leave a residue on the hair due to poor absorption into the hair shaft. Our specialized hair serum, tailored for use with the hair mask, ensures enhanced absorption and hydration without leaving any residue, making it a perfect complement to your mask.
Moreover, we reimagined the concept of hair mask powders, handpicking just five 100% organic and natural ingredients sourced through fair trade practices and combining them with the serum. This approach not only eliminates problematic preservatives that could compromise the integrity of the hair mask but also offers versatility to our users. The combined serum and powder formula allows for the use of milk for protein treatment, mayonnaise for deep oil conditioning, or avocado for intensive hydration – providing a spa-like experience that nurtures your hair while promoting its strength and health.
At Nuele, we strive to empower individuals to experiment and care for their hair in an intentional manner, granting them the freedom to customize their hair mask treatments. Whether it's an avocado treatment one week or a milk treatment the next, users can rest assured that they are utilizing a product free from toxins, delivering deep hydration, repairing the hair, and nurturing the scalp for strengthened follicles and healthier hair.
