About Company
Our company is Ugandan local initiative that produces Cheveux Organique, a plant-based Hair Extensions brand made from 100% natural banana fiber. The product is durable, eco-friendly, hypoallergenic (no allergic reactions), non-irritant, does not produce bad odor, is reusable and can be managed like natural hair. The flagship hair extensions have been tested and highly sought after in the domestic, regional, and international markets. Since the hair industry in Africa is dominated by synthetic hair which is imported by foreign companies, we want to make sure that Africans especially women take back and own the hair industry for Africa through the use and promotion of our own locally made hair extensions from locally sourced raw material. This will help reduce the damages to the environment and create ownership of our own solutions.
