Chébé is the haircare secret of an African ethnic group in Chad known to have very long naturally coarse hair that famously goes passed their rear ends. They cover their hair in a homemade mixture that keeps their hair super moisturized and lubricated which is the reason why they say their hair never breaks; even from childhood.
Some people may think initially that their hair length is due to genetics, but after inquiring on the subject the women said that it was most definitely not due to genetics since they do not apply chébé powder mixture to their bangs which in turn, stays short. However, the parts of the hair that they do use the powder mixture on in their routine don’t break and grow very long and strong.
Key Benefits
- Thickens hair
- Reduces hair loss and breakage
- Moisturizes hair and locks
- Retains length
- Strengthens hair and locks in moisture for longer
- Improves the density of fine hair
- Gives hair a thicker appearance over time
Directions:
- Take 2 to 3 teaspoons of chebe powder and mix it with original Kakar oil or any oil of your choice
- Get the hair wet using regular water and apply the mixture of the chebe powder and karkar oil on your hair (not the scalp)Â until the hair is fully saturated.
- Put the hair in a protective style by braiding or weaving and once that braid is done, you leave it alone. Repeat the same mixture and application routine every other 5 days without washing your hair. Wash your hair 2x a month.
Another method used as a gloss
- Take 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite hair butter, mix with 2 spoons of original karkar oil or any oil of your choice, and add a tablespoon of mixed chébé powder. The first step is to get the hair wet using regular water and apply the mixture that you just made on your hair (not the scalp) until the hair is fully saturated.
- Then re-braid the hair, cover it up with a hair bonnet or a polythene bag, and leave for 5 hours or overnight then wash off the hair. This helps the hair utilize the chebe potential while aiding length retention. You can repeat the process 2x a week until you have gotten your desired results.
Note: We advise customers to do a patch test first before using it. If you can’t follow this routine, kindly order the Chebe butter instead.
