THE NEW BAR: NOURIE TECHNOLOGIES

Beyond clean. Actively nourishing.

Conventional braiding hair reacts with the scalp. It just does it in the wrong direction, chemicals leaching out, not nourishment going in. Biotresse™ was engineered to flip that.

BIOTRESSE™ FIBER
NOURISHMENT IN↓
SCALP

Biotresse was built for your scalp.

Conventional braiding hair is engineered as a commodity. The materials, the manufacturing, the testing standards — none of it is set up to consider what happens at the scalp over weeks of wear.

Biotresse flips that. Conventional braiding hair is made with chlorinated vinyl synthetic fibers (Kanekalon by Kaneka). Biotresse is built on Nourie Technologies: a plant-derived fiber paired with a responsive coating system. The fiber and coating work together, engineered to actively support scalp comfort from install to takedown.

It is the only synthetic braiding fiber that has been independently clinically tested for scalp health benefits, in two IRB-approved studies run by a third-party hair and cosmetic science research firm.

Plant-derived fiber

A plant-derived fiber sourced from corn, sugarcane, cassava, sugar beets, and switchgrass crops. Engineered to match the strength, texture, and look of real hair.

Nourie Technologies™

A responsive fiber system engineered to deliver scalp nourishment from first night to takedown.

Clinically validated

Two independent, IRB-approved studies: a 67-person safety study and a double-blind comfort pilot.

Why we exist

Because you deserve the best.

Most braiding hair was engineered for cost and volume. No standard, no science, no accountability for her scalp. In 2025 and 2026, independent consumer-safety testing found concerning chemicals in the category's most popular brands.

Biotresse™ changes the baseline: cosmetic-science rigor, applied to a category that never had it. Every client leaves better than she arrived.

Invented by Black women scientists and engineers. Patent-pending. Made in the USA.

FAQs

The most-asked, answered.

Most braiding hair is chlorinated vinyl synthetic fibers (Kanekalon by Kaneka), engineered for cost, not for what happens at your scalp. Biotresse™ is a plant-derived fiber powered by Nourie Technologies™, with a responsive fiber system engineered to actively support scalp comfort. It is also the only synthetic braiding fiber independently clinically tested for scalp health benefits.
Yes. It went through an IRB-approved safety study with 58 participants over five weeks, zero adverse events, and it is validated hypoallergenic, non-sensitizing and non-allergenic. As with any new product, if you have a known skin condition we recommend checking with your dermatologist.
Not at this point in time. Use a paddle brush to stretch the hair before your install. Brush through it and you will get a more uniform look with natural variation in the ending points of the strands.
