Michael Colter has entered the beauty industry.
Colter, 47, spoke exclusively with We weekly about him and his wife Iva Colter‘s new hair care line, Niles + Chaz, which the couple named after their daughters Nyla, 8, and Giselle, 5. “It’s aimed at mixed-race kids who have interesting, curly hair with different textures,” he said of the brand, which offers shampoo, detangler, styling gel cream and a revival spray – all under $30.
“I think it’s a brand aimed at kids and people will love it,” said Mike Us while promoting his upcoming action comedy The Union. “Listen!”
Mike and Iva, 49, founded Niles + Chaz in June after being inspired by their own search for clean and effective hair care for their children. The vegan line aims to empower kids and help them enjoy their locks.

We wanted to teach our girls resilience and the power to come back even stronger when they face challenges. And so we started this adventure together as a family, inspired by mixed texture hair.”
Mike and Iva met while studying at Rutgers University. The couple married in 2016 and welcomed Nyla in 2015. In 2018, their family expanded again with the birth of Giselle.
