Badsurat Sachai

K Cube

Khizeee started a brand called K Cube. K Cube currently makes hair-related products. He launched a hair volumizing powder on 6th November. He says the powder is 100% organic and contains about 18 grams. He says he used salon hair products and researched them before making his own. [1]

He says specialist volumizing brands in Pakistan are very expensive, at around 4000 rupees a bottle. He says volumizing powders are quite popular in other countries. He says organic products are very hard to find. He says gel and spray have damaged hair in Pakistan. He says imported grooming gels are often very expensive and can hurt the economy. He says there are not enough grooming products made for Pakistani men. [1]

He says friends suggested pricing the powder at 800 rupees, but he wanted students to be able to afford it. He says people found the product hard to understand at first. He says the business is going really well. He says a team handles K Cube's social media. He says he personally makes the powder, packs it and hands it to couriers. He says most K Cube sales come through Instagram. [1]

Views on marriage
