Brown Beauty Care, Inc. has acquired Nutress Hair Products, a 62-year-old company credited with developing the first protein-based conditioner in the U.S.

“I am thrilled to be taking the helm of such a highly respected product line,” says former Microsoft executive Reggie Brown, new owner and president of Nutress. “The Rubell family has successfully navigated this company for three generations and we plan to build on their success and reestablish Nutress Hair as a leading brand for healthy hair restoration and maintenance in the industry.”

Nutress is best known for its highly regarded Protein-Pack Conditioner, Stop Break Healthy Hair Enhancer and other maintenance products.
