Zara Kattiems | Founder of Kpapshi Hair Naturals

Zara Kattiems is the artisan behind KPAPSHI HAIR NATURALS. Her journey began in her grandmother’s garden in north-central Nigeria, where she discovered the quiet magic of herbs. From garden to kitchen, she experimented with natural oils and plants—a passion that grew into KPAPSHI HAIR NATURALS, founded in her own kitchen during her early years of embracing her natural hair.
The brand reflects Zara’s belief that African hair is uniquely powerful, capable of moisture retention, length, and volume when nurtured properly. Every ingredient is ethically sourced and free of silicones, parabens, and propylene, ensuring clean, effective formulas for daily hair health.
“KPAPSHI,” meaning hair in her Taroh mother tongue, honors her Plateau State heritage and the farming traditions of her community. Today, KPAPSHI HAIR NATURALS stands as a celebration of those humble beginnings—rooted in tradition, elevated by innovation, and inspired by the women the brand serves. Guided by Zara’s vision, the brand continues its mission: to share its story, honor its heritage, and empower women—one head at a time.
