Known and appreciated in African-American salons, the Nairobi Professional brand has combined performance and gentleness for over twenty years. Part of the Chapman Products Co., Inc. group , founded by William and Kimberly Chapman , Nairobi embodies professional expertise for natural, relaxed, or straightened hair.
At Colorful Black , we chose Nairobi for its balanced approach: technical, effective formulas that respect the scalp. The brand caters to both hairdressers and discerning individuals who want to recreate the results of a salon blow-dry or wrap at home.
Why is Nairobi so appealing?
Nairobi products are distinguished by their balanced pH , their alcohol-free formula , and their ability to provide silky-smooth styling without compromising hair health. Each treatment is designed to reduce drying time , prevent stiffness , and facilitate detangling .
The result: shiny, supple, and long-lasting hair—without stiffness or dandruff. Nairobi's secret? Combining professional performance with ease of use, for a salon-quality finish.
Wrapp-It Shine Foaming Lotion: the ultimate in shiny styling
A true best-seller, Wrapp-It Shine Foaming Lotion is an alcohol-free styling mousse used by hairdressers for wraps, sets and moldings.
Its lightweight formula with Panthenol hydrates and protects hair while accelerating drying. It prevents stiffness and provides immediate silky shine . Thanks to its fine texture, it applies easily, without weighing hair down or making it sticky, and leaves a soft, manageable finish.
Whether your hair is natural, straightened or relaxed, this mousse allows you to achieve a flexible, shiny and long-lasting style — all without residue.
How to use Wrapp-It Shine correctly?
1. Prepare your hair
Wash and towel dry your hair. Apply a light moisturizing treatment if needed, then separate it into sections.
2. Apply the mousse
Dispense two to three pumps of mousse into your hands and distribute evenly from roots to tips. Brush or comb according to your chosen technique: wrap, set, or molding.
3. Dry and reveal the shine
Dry under a hood dryer or with a hairdryer on a moderate heat setting. Allow to cool for a few moments, then style gently to reveal a mirror-like shine and a silky feel.
Pro tip: also ideal for glueless lace wigs : it fixes gently while leaving a natural and shiny finish.
An iconic Black Owned brand
Behind Nairobi lies an inspiring success story. William P. Chapman Jr. and Kimberly Chapman , founders of Chapman Products , built a hair empire by celebrating the beauty and expertise of African American hair. Their vision: to offer safe, high-performance, and accessible products to professionals and individuals worldwide.
By choosing Nairobi, you are supporting a historic Black Owned brand, which continues to champion excellence in hair care designed by and for textured hair.
Why choose Nairobi over another styling mousse?
Many styling mousses promise hold and shine, but few combine performance, care, and lightness like Nairobi. Where some mousses dry out the ends or leave a stiff film, Wrapp-It Shine nourishes and protects the hair fiber, without leaving a greasy residue or flakes.
Compared to more traditional brands, it offers a significant advantage: an alcohol-free formula, enriched with Panthenol , with a balanced pH , and compatible with all hair types. It's the choice of professionals seeking a clean, silky, and long-lasting result—without compromising hair health.
The final word
Wrapp-It Shine Foaming Lotion is more than just a mousse: it's a professional styling tool that combines performance, care, and shine. An essential for sleek, lightweight, and long-lasting hairstyles.
