Our story
"At 16, my hair fell out. I spent years searching for something comfortable. So I made it myself."

At 16, our founder Nikki Kate experienced the life-altering moment when her hair fell out due to Alopecia. That lived experience - over two decades of navigating the world with hair loss - deeply shaped how she designs, with an RN-informed understanding of scalp sensitivity, physical comfort, and the emotional weight of hair loss. Alongside her is Sandy, her mother and business partner, who has walked every step of that journey with her.
