Myriam & Paulo Taylor founders of Muxima

Meaning ‘heart’ in Kimbundu an Angolan language, Muxima is our range of products for textured hair. Made with love and using a combination of the world’s finest bio ingredients for textured hair — uniquely formulated together in high quantities — Muxima nourishes and styles your hair in a way nothing has before. A haircare range from the heart that truly cares and works, Muxima is the result of a personal journey by Myriam Taylor that many can identify with.

Having relaxed her hair for many years, Myriam stopped while she was pregnant — mindful of the harshness of the chemicals involved. Returning to her natural hair, she wanted to find a way of caring and wearing it both curly and straight without the chemicals and being happy and confident with the results. Muxima is the result of this desire to be able to make a healthy, informed choice by creating products that really worked. Working with Muxima Bio (the bio tech company formed by Myriam and her technology expert husband, Paulo), the brief was unusual. Make the best products you can, using the finest ingredients, in the highest quantities you need to truly offer a range of shampoo, conditioners and stylers that would transform the haircare and styling experience of people with all types of textured hair.
