Company Summary

NS offers incredible hair styling + hair color and texture shield + scalp sunburn and cancer protection, all in one product. Hair styling with SPF is virtually non-existent on the market and answers an obvious need - color/UV hair protection is already 2 of top 5 reasons women choose hair products (Mintel's U.S. Haircare report, 2011) and scalp cancer is a something few protect from. We aim to change that and open a new category in hair care!
