Business Description

Frotextured is fast becoming a leading Ugandan natural hair brand committed to crafting premium, affordable, and chemical-free hair care solutions tailored for individuals with African textured hair.

Our commitment to innovation is manifested through developing an innovative range of agricultural raw material-based formulas that target hair and skin care problems for Africans and people of African descent.

Crafting a state-of-the-art line of hair and skincare solutions specifically tailored to address the unique needs of Africans and individuals of African descent is a crucial endeavor. By utilizing an array of nutrient-rich organic raw materials, such as shea butter, castor oil, olive oil, carrot, coffee, onion, and aloe vera, among others, we aim to effectively tackle the hair and skincare challenges commonly experienced by Africans.

Derived from the fusion of “Afro” and “textured,” Frotextured embodies the essence of African textured hair. The choice of colors symbolizes our commitment to all-natural elements, with green representing the beauty of nature, and earthy tones reflecting the nurturing essence of the Earth. The crown and heart motifs signify the pride and love associated with African and black hair.

As a limited company with shared ownership, we take pride in being a 100% women-owned enterprise. Our core ethos is deeply rooted in empowering women and the youth, with a substantial 90% representation in ownership, board of directors, and our dedicated team. This commitment underscores our dedication to fostering women’s empowerment and nurturing entrepreneurship.

Committed to delivering excellence, we prioritize the creation of premium products infused with authentic organic ingredients. Frotextured proudly stands as a wholly Ugandan enterprise, utilizing locally sourced raw materials to promote the local economy and ensure the authenticity of our offerings.

Our headquarters, located at Reed Complex Ntinda, room b01, in Kampala, Uganda, serves as our primary distribution hub and also functions as a natural hair growth clinic. Here, we address hair care concerns through a range of salon services and specially formulated growth products.

Established in 2015 as a raw idea, our business took tangible form in December 2017 when we initiated production at the Uganda Industrial Research Institute. Through rigorous research, we honed our skills and expertise in manufacturing, continuously improving our products.

Over time, we’ve nurtured and expanded our brand, offering a diverse portfolio of over 17 distinctive products. This includes an array of growth oils, shampoos, conditioners (leave-in, rinse-out, and deep), as well as an exquisite selection of skin products like shea butter, aloe pepper mint, coffee tamarind masks, and more.

Our relentless pursuit of knowledge and excellence, coupled with a close association with the Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI), has enhanced our manufacturing capabilities, enabling us to continually elevate our products and extend our reach in production and distribution.

We are thrilled to announce our recent achievement as recipients of the NSSF’s Hi-innovator grant, amounting to $20,000. This victory stands as a testament to our commitment to innovation and our vision to scale up our business.

Lastly, our current incubation by MTAC is a historic milestone, marking us as the first cosmetic manufacturing company under their guidance. This groundbreaking collaboration not only opens doors but also provides a dynamic platform for our expansion, serving as a central warehousing hub for machinery, raw materials, and finished products. This strategic move underscores our dedication to growth and innovation, promising exciting opportunities ahead.
