What Nylah's Naturals does

Kameese Davis started Nylah's Naturals from her own kitchen, making hair restoration products after struggling to find science-backed solutions for afro and textured hair. What began as a personal mission grew into a 7-figure beauty brand stocked in major retailers including Boots and Superdrug. She appeared on Dragons' Den in 2021 and walked away from an offer because she believed her vision was worth more - a decision that paid off when she won £150,000 in TV advertising through the Channel 4 and Lloyds Bank Black in Business initiative. Today Nylah's Naturals is a purpose-led brand proving that products built for under-served communities can become mainstream successes.
