NU ADE HER- STORY
Nu Ade hair styling products were created by the
multi-talented artist, Tulani Kinard who owned the first natural hair salon in
Brooklyn, NY,
Tulani’s Regal Movement,
now known as
Nu Wave Kultural Kreations.
In 1997 Tulani published her first book, “
No Lye: The African American Women’s Guide
to Natural Hair Care”. This book was a great success and became a main
reference guide for the topic of natural hair care world wide. Kinard was a celebrity
stylist that set the trend during the phenomenon of braided hair styles in the
80’s; Co-founder of the International Braiders Network and key player that
helped to establish the NY State Natural Hair License.
Her book and product line were gifts to the
industry before she officially retired from her occupation as a stylist and
salon owner.
To maintain the concept of “regal essence” promoted by
Tulani’s Regal Movement,
Kinard named her product line
New Crown, which has over the years transformed
into
Nu Ade. This name
originates from the Nigerian language called Yoruba; for “ade” means “crown”
and is highly respected as the most important part of the human body.
Nu Ade styling products have been tested and approved by
thousands of people with all hair textures over the past 20 years. All of the
clients have a genuine love for the scent and rich consistency of these quality
products. Currently, Nu Ade carries three moisturizing hair oils that differ in
consistency based upon hair texture and need for moisture. The base is olive,
castor, and peanut oils with a pleasant scent of frankincense and myrrh.
They can be used to assist with:
Hot Oil Treatment
Scalp Conditioning
Loc Maintenance
Flat Ironing
Styling
Today, Nu Ade Enterprises functions as a manufacturer and
distributor of these wonderful moisturizing hair styling products. Nu Ade moisturizing hair oils
are loved by many and continue to provide a solution for replenishing moisture
