HEADWRAPS
Easy on the Eye. Serious About Protection.
I created something that is functional, considered, and visually distinctive. As the founder of a Black-owned brand, the idea grew directly out of my own needs. I was very aware of what existing products lacked and what I wanted to improve rather than simply replicate.
I specifically focused on curly and kinky hair, which is particularly fragile because its cuticle layers are more open and prone to breakage. Sleeping on conventional cotton or linen bedding increases friction and absorbs moisture, leaving hair dry, tangled, and damaged. To address this, I designed an adjustable headwrap with a lining made of recycled satin. Its smooth surface reduces friction, helps retain moisture, and supports healthier hair over time.
Thanks to their smooth satin lining they help prevent frizz, split ends, and hair breakage
They are a striking accessory that lets your creativity run wild as you can style and tie them in many different ways
They are adjustable in size. Plus, no matter if you have short or long hair – there´s room for every hairstyle and length
You can unbutton the lining and wash it separately. This way your headwrap can take it easy and will look and feel fresh for a long time
Instead of an elastic band, they have a neoprene band inside to make it harder for your headwrap to wear out

HEADWRAPS
We´ve combined function, quality, and design to raise textile hair protection to a new level
We put lots of thoughts and love into our product, which took us over a year to develop. By combining technical craftsmanship with an understanding of design, we developed a product that´s unique in its functionality and design to protect and celebrate our hair.
As Nolema Studio is a black-owned business and the idea emerged from our own needs, we knew exactly what we were missing in other products and what we wanted to improve.
WHAT ISSUE OUR HEADWRAPS SOLVE:
Especially curly and kinky hair is very delicate and tends to break off as the cuticle layers of curly hair are not as close together as those of straight hair. Plus: Whilst sleeping on ordinary bed linen made of cotton or linen, the hair gets caught in the fibres, which at the same time absorb all the moisture from it. Consequently, the dry, matte and knotted up hair breaks off.
To solve this problem, we´ve designed an adjustable headwrap with an inner lining made of recycled satin. Thanks to its smooth surface, this fabric prevents damaging friction and leaves the hair moisturized and healthy.
