Harakeke. Plant. Hair.

A conscious choice for environmentally conscious consumers

Harakeke Plant Hair symbolises the nurturing of skills and knowledge passed down to me, inspired by my love for my beautiful daughters and Papatūānuku (Mother Nature).

Harakeke (Phormium tenax), native to Aotearoa (New Zealand), is superior to other plant fibers in terms of length, diameter, and tensile strength. Muka, the prepared fiber of Harakeke, is harvested from its leaves and offers distinct characteristics among different cultivars. These fibers provide abundant advantages, making them highly functional and purposeful in various uses.

Phormium tenax plays a vital role in multiple ecological communities especially amongst Māoricx. It serves as a food source, has medicinal uses, and is commonly employed in soil restoration, waterway rehabilitation, and revegetation projects.

Master weavers, known as Kairaranga, are skilled artisans with exclusive access to the most esteemed resources. The specific cultivar used in our Weaving Hair Bundles undergoes specialised processing, tailored for protective styling. The crimp-like nature of the fibers enhances flexibility during styling, while the mechanical properties in diameter and length reinforce natural hair, ensuring a secure hold and extended wear. This unique tensile strength offers a tight grip on your natural hair while allowing it to also breathe.
