The Nilotiqa black haircare founder is petite, and laser focused. It is not the money that inspires South African Thokozile Mangwiro, founder of Nilotiqa Haircare for black women but rather the discovery of her own formulation of organic hair treatment that speaks to every black woman who has stood in the face of adversarial marketing that wants to straighten, smooth, dye and reshape a black women’s hair, as if her natural crowning beauty is something to be avoided and changed
We dig it a whole lot because the Nilotiqa Brand is 100% home-grown, organically sourced, and locally formulated. Does it get better?
And it delivers a plant-based moisturising hair care range perfectly suited to natural African hair care. Inspired and birthed from shea butter, made from the nuts of the vitellaria nilotica tree, indigenous to the upper Nile region of Central Africa.
The Shea & Coco Collection is specifically formulated for dry and brittle hair. The range was designed to deeply nourish, care for and replenish moisture back into your hair.
Thokozile promises, “having natural hair that is healthy is easy hair. When you start using Nilotiqa you will discover that your hair starts growing again. This year will be defining for the Nilotiqa brand and it will be defining for black women everywhere.”
