Niles + Chaz is launching a vegan, organic, cruelty-free, nut-free, and veggie- and fruit-packed haircare line for children of mixed heritage. Featuring four SKUs filled with over 90% naturally derived ingredients:Tangles Shmangles (Curl Detangler & Enhancer), What The Frizz! (Styling Gel Cream), Curl Raiser (Revival Spray), and Scalp Enchanter (Pre-Shampoo Treatment). Founded by parents, actor Mike Colter and his wife Iva, a former major Hollywood studio senior executive, for their multiracial and multicultural children. Named after their daughters, who are also Co-Founders and active participants in the brand, Niles + Chaz offers hair care products that celebrate the beauty of mixed-textured hair and multi-ethnic heritage, promote children’s self-confidence and inclusivity, and strive for endless recyclability and sustainability.
Inspired by the founders’ journey as parents seeking clean and effective hair care solutions for their children’s mixed-texture hair, Niles + Chaz was created to empower young girls and boys to embrace their unique curls and be proud of their diverse cultural heritage. With the slogan, “Hair I Am!” the brand emphasizes the importance of instilling confidence, independence, and empowerment in children at a young age. Niles + Chaz developed a range of hair styling products for kids, and with kids, that promote self-love and encourage diversity in the beauty industry. Formulated with excitement and child-like playfulness, Niles + Chaz’s core collection embodies inclusivity and clean beauty, supporting parents in managing their kids’ hair, which may differ from their own. This four-product toolkit helps parents teach their children how to care for and love their beautiful waves, curls, and coils, embrace their authentic selves, and own the world.
