Their products cater primarily to individuals seeking high-quality solutions for managing and styling curly hair, focusing on providing an exact texture match for diverse hair types across multiple markets, including North America, Europe, and parts of Africa.

This pricing structure reflects the premium quality of the products, targeting consumers who prioritize both performance and aesthetics in hair care.

In May 2026, Ruka Hair Ltd raised USD 4. 5 mn in venture funding to support various growth initiatives. The funding will be utilized to expand their retail presence, increase production, and scale their synthetic hair fiber technology.
