A scalp serum powered by deoxypentose — made for men who wear braids, ponytails, and tight styles (BPTA).
If you've worn locs, cornrows, top-knots, or kept your hair in tight ponytails, the constant tension can stress your edges and hairline. NovaNura is a lightweight daily serum made for exactly that — powered by our proprietary Neo-Ribose Complex™ featuring deoxypentose.
BPTA is mechanical — caused by chronic styling tension, not hormones. So it calls for a different, tension-focused approach.
Our Neo-Ribose Complex™ features deoxypentose, the deoxyribose sugar naturally present in your DNA — a scalp- and skin-conditioning humectant. With continued use, it conditions and improves the look and feel of the skin and scalp wherever it's applied.
Absorbs in seconds. Wears clean under wigs, durags, beanies, and helmets — through any styling routine. No grease, no transfer.
Be generous. Be consistent — twice a day.
Begin at the front hairline and run the dropper down each braid line and edge, massaging into the scalp and surrounding skin as you go.
About 10 seconds. It vanishes on contact — nothing left behind on the scalp.
Wear it alone or under your other products. Compatible with all styling.
