3. Saving the economy billions of dollars in importing massive cosmetic products, wigs and artificial hairs.
4. Save women and families a lot of money and hours spent on salons endangering their health for the pursuit of beauty.
5. Lack of innovative and effective means of stylists to reach more customers, promote safe natural beauty and hair products that caters for women especially pregnant or breast feeding mothers.
We started ShairGain after a devastating hair burn our CEO got 5years ago from a popular relaxer. She researched desperately on organically safe and quick means to repair skin & grow hair and discovered some plants formula & got excellent results.

Our innovation is in being the first brand in Nigeria to connect customers to affordable, safe effective and non-carcinogenic natural beauty and hair growth products and stylists on smartphones. The only beauty product in the world you can literally eat!
ShairGain was engineered by putting people first, especially women and children. Our products are completely made from natural plants grown widely in Nigeria such as shea-nuts, moringa, aloe-vera etc. Rural women are directly and indirectly employed in our farm and production processes. We advocate aggressively for the use of natural products for women to avert risks of cancer and other diseases as reported by Rutgers University. In Nigeria, poor people have least access to medical care especially women and children. Its very imperative to educate, empower and beautify women effectively and healthily in their pursuit of beauty and good life.
Our products will be readily made affordable and accessible online on mobile and offline at brick & mortar stores, events and empowerment classes at discounts.
