Kintu Jovia, a Ugandan entrepreneur building a local organic hair care brand with big ambitions  — Lionesses of Africa

We manufacture and sell organic hair products for women in Uganda. Our products include, hair shampoo, hair conditioner, hair food, and hair growth drops. We are currently working on a range of products that will cater for men and children.

What inspired you to start your company?

Most of women’s products contain a lot of chemicals that are harmful to our health. Some of the side effects include excessive dandruff, split ends, burns, among others. Through my own experience with chemicals, I decided to create products that will work out common hair problems without the risk of harmful chemicals.

Why should anyone use your service or product?

Our business is special because we work to help change people’s lives using healthier measures. We use organic ingredients to create products that will help women in Uganda and beyond the borders of Uganda to love and cherish their hair without having to use chemical products.
