HEADWRAPS
Art Prints
Nolema Studio is a joyful place of experimentation and a celebration of diversity and black culture.
I’m Anna and I mainly do illustrations, which you can discover on my headwraps and art prints.
I also work for brands, magazines, and publishers, where you can also find my comics here and there.

Easy on the Eye, Serious about Protection
I poured over a year of love, frustration and dedication into developing these headwraps.
By blending master craftsmanship with a keen eye for aesthetics, I created an uniquely functional product designed to both protect and celebrate kinky and coily hair.
As a small black business owner, I knew exactly what I was missing in other products.
Why Curly and Coily Hair Breaks (Overnight)
Curly, kinky, and coily hair is uniquely fragile.
Its spiral structure creates raised cuticles and weak points at every twist, while natural scalp oils struggle to travel down the curls, leaving them dry.
Ordinary cotton or linen sheets worsen this by stripping away moisture and snagging the delicate fibers – resulting in breakage.
Made for Every Crown, Day and Night
To solve this, I designed a headwrap you can proudly wear day and night.
Lined with recycled satin, the fabric helps eliminate friction and locks in vital moisture.
It is engineered to adjust to your crown: a custom neoprene band perfections the width, while the expandable height comfortably fits every hairstyle from braids and locs to voluminous afros.

ART PRINTS
Moments of Pride, Printed.
Made to be lived with, these prints bring stories into your space that don’t need to be explained.
Stories of pride, magic, resilience, and softness. All held at once.
They are a toast to us 🍸 and the richness of our everyday lives through culture and community. Also, they are an invitation for allies to show up for Black culture in meaningful ways.
