About Rahua
What is Rahua?The Rahua nut (pronounced rah-wa) is an amazonian secret. For centuries the people of the Quechua-Shuar tribe have harvested this nut and extracted it’s oily contents by hand - it is an extremely time intensive process and can take up to a month for the golden oil of the rahua nut to appear. The women of the Quechua-Shuar believe this oil is the secret to their thick, flowing, lustrous hair. Intrigued, Rahua founder and renowned New York stylist Fabian Lliguin studied the effects of this oil on his clients’ hair and was amazed at the revitalising properties. |

What is so unique about Rahua?
Unlike regular oils that simply coat the hair, Rahua oil has a unique molecular structure that makes the individual oil molecules small enough to actually penetrate the hair cortex, where they bond and repair the hair whilst smoothing it’s cuticle - creating the incredibly soft, shiny and healthy hair that the Quechua-Shuar women are famous for. |
