If we looked after our hair like this from a young age instead of getting relaxers the majority of our hair would be this long too. So relaxing to watch.
Lol you said relaxing 😂 But really though, I’m so happy for my mom who refused to relax my hair until I was old enough to decide for myself if I wanted one. Even when a hair salon in the Deep South told me my hair was too thick to work with and left me to sit in a chair for 2 hrs with no product or brushing after washing it one loverly afternoon 😂😂 Bless her patient soul detangling and braiding and looking after my ginormous coils 🤗🤗
@@edeneden3449 wow I wish I could say the same for me, I’ll have to make a big chop (I’m 16) because my mom put relaxer in it from the time I could think. Now that I’m going natural she complains about how expensive the products are and ridicules me when I’m putting coconut, olive, and other essential oils in my hair.. pls send me strength
@@shekn0ws007 I’m sending you strength girl. Our hair is not hard to deal with, we are just using the wrong products for our hair. The right products along with tender handle of our hair will have our hair soft and tangle free but the lack of knowledge is real. I’m not judging because I just recently found this out myself.
@@ashleycbla right, there isn’t many products promoted for our hair in mainstream media and if they’re almost always expensive or have tooo much chemicals. A reason I’m making my own shampoo with African Black soap and carrier oils. Which products would you recommend?
@@shekn0ws007 Water, almond oil on shaft of hair and then double seal with Shea butter on ends of hair only has been working great for my hair. Has reduced tangles significantly for me.
Amen, well said ! Who says Africans can't have long hair. It requires a lot of attention and care just like our "faces". We can have beautiful long hair without artificial hair !!!
Why do we as black people dont question white america who dont know how to grow are hair but we question someone whos hair is down her back why it works what the hell thanks for givin us a way to have long hair also not a weave
I know!!! We thirst for hair knowledge because our culture and history has been stolen from us by white oppressors who set standards of beauty that disempower us and yet we have the audacity to criticize these QUEENS with proven results?!? We are so brainwashed. Open up your mind and let the knowledge in!
Ste L 🌟Styles I dont think you got the POINT ... You're so QUICK to be RUDE ..Humble and CALM DOWN.. Basically she's saying NO ONE questions other races but always quick to question Black women HAIR... Simple like that 🤦🏽♀️😂
Dang, sis used the strength of her ancestors to tighten that braid. So where can I buy this hair Chebe and does it come with the stylist because I need it all 😭
I feel that their process of braiding the hair up so that they aren’t manipulating it much also helps! The less you mess with your hair the more chance it has to grow!
Why are some people claiming that they have no edges? Their edges are clearly braided down and not bald or balding. I believe because they don't put Chebe on their edges, it doesn't give it the added advantages as the rest of the hair. But seeing that all the women braid down their edges, that must be their own cultural standard of beauty.
They in fact really do not have edges as we refer to them, and it is done purposely. They see bigger forehead as more attractive (its not uncommon in East Africa), so it is part of their aesthetics to braid down the hair in the front very tightly, which over time creates alopecia and make the hairline further, which creates the illusion of a bigger forehead. However, if they would not do these braids in the front and use the same technisur, they would have exactly the same type of hair as in the back, but they are not interested in that. Which is fine
I love how the pretty little girl just sitting there with so much poise and grace watching and learning, we so busy in our every day lives that we forget about self care.
Okay can we take a minute to talk about how beautiful they are 😍❤️! Baby girl in the back looks like the epitome of perfection 😭❤️! They are all so gorgeous 😍😍😍
Water is for moisture, oil is to seal in moisture, Chebe is to help stretch/lengthen hair to prevent the curls from tangling on one another. the women pull the hair to get it as straight as possible so that the oil and water can fully coat each strand of hair with moisture..that is why naturally straight hair and looser textures tend to retain more length because moisture coats Hair more easily. Sorry to say it but U can use any powder: (amla, henna, etc) with their same process and u will see after u apply the powder the hair is stretched and that’s the main purpose of it.
I love how everything they do is like a ritual. That makes it pleasant, relaxing instead of a chore. She takes her time applying the products while other women are there at the gathering having conversation. It's just like a beauty salon atmosphere. I haven't seen them cutting or trimming the hair. They don't seem to think it necessary like we do.
It seems like they don't experience split ends due to no heat manipulation and keeping it braided with the powder mixture. The powder keeps their hair from breaking. I noticed that too. And they all get together and take care of each other's hair, laugh and talk together as a family ❤
YESS. We would retain our length if we had retained our community… whoever’s fault that is? 🤷🏿♀️ but we’d retain our length, strength and respect for each other if we had it still
I also notice that as she’s combing through the hair, she firmly but gently loosens up the hair with her hands if she feels even a slight tangle rather than trying to use the comb to do it. That could also help reduce the shedding
Miss sahel provides an informative video in her video list on what chebe is and the products that they use. But to help ppl out that don't feel like searching, The blue stuff is a mixture of perfume and some type of grease or oil (everyone makes their recipe a little different). Before grease or oil was used, they used animal fat but it stinks so the transition was made to oil/grease. The perfume also helps with adding a nice scent may it be floral or sweet like candy. The powder is a mixture of different kinds of herbs and spices like clove. Other plants that are used are only found in Africa or that region specifically. The herbs and spices are also toasted in order to release natural scents and oils from the plants. Depending on what part the person is from, some ppl use water to help with application, others don't. They do wash their hair but that also depends on where the person is from. They may wash it once a week or once a month. The powder is reapplied every other day (every 3-4 days) or every week. Women also have "large foreheads" bc the braids in the front are very tight on their hairline and no they don't care, it looks attractive to them. Again be aware that there is not 1 recipe everyone uses. Each person makes there's slightly different based on preference or availability
I'm so thankful for youtube. My hair is growing longer now because I have been educating myself with these videos. We did not have this growing up in the 80's and 90's, so we didn't see how black women around the world grew their 4c hair. Growing up, I used so much alcohol-based spritz, perms with hot irons that fried my hair and detangled my hair like I was raking the yard. Now I care for it like these ladies do and I'm starting to see my transformation. I can't wait to see how long mine can grow.
I loved this video. That lady was pulling the hair really tight but with good intentions. I believe they also take good care of each others hair so that adds to growth. I can't wait to use it. Great video. I really enjoyed it and the richness of their sisterhood. Thank you
Notice they have pretty even skin because things are fresh and not like Western diets were we are all sick, fat, hair loss, acne, health problems, and more.
I love this. Nature really blessed us in Africa. I started using this recently. I have applied it two times within a month. I have 4c hair. It has changed the texture of my hair, it feels straighter (its loosened the curls) and silkier/smoother, less breakage. I bought the 1kg size, this is probably going to last me a lifetime because a little teaspoon each time goes a long way!
@@eduns123 I soak the chebe in oil of choice (avocado, carrot, olive oil mix) in a small bowl placing the bowl in another bowl of hot water. Leave for an hour, sieve the oil and then apply the oil to damp hair. I tried it with the herbs straight into my hair but didn't like it, its messy and falls out all the time.
Its not necessarily the powder that makes the hair grow. They keep the hair in braid for long periods of time so its in a protective stye. But the powder and water keeps it moisturized. You can do the same thing with grease or shea butter or any other thick heavy sealant.
@@Elle-hx8ji thanks. I have long 4c hair and its because when I want to grow out my hair I use heavy sealants like Blue magic after applying lots of water and I leave it in braids for long periods and rebraid. By 3 to 6 months so much hair has grown.
I actually applied chebe and karkar oil in my Since February 4th and I still have them on. So today I reapplied it and decided to watch this video and am planning to leave on through out this February. And during my second reapplying I noticed my hair was soft like a mattress texture,fluffy kinda. I learned that you apply small quantity,I think I overdid mine but still is on my hair. I would be using the chebe since I found what makes my 4c low porosity hair soft and easy to manipulate and still retain growth with little or less breakage. God bless whoever discovered this hair beauty hack.
Grace Osas Lort...Ppl are so silly. How hard is to understand that everyone hair grows period, but we face breakage issues due to the dryness of ur hair? 🤦🏽♀️
I love y'all. My sisters 💖💖😤 It's so frustrating when people just don't get it, but especially fellow black women. Genetics is not the only factor that matters.
I am more in awe of her ends... And how her hair is full from roots to tips... For the edges comments, that's a beauty standard amongst them, they love the high forehead look and braid the front section so tightly it induces alopecia in that section... Notice that portion is short Also it isn't that tight to yank all her hair off... When my mom used to give me plaits(calabar in my part of Nigeria), she put a finger at the very end and tighten the two outer sections of that braid making it lie flat but it will end up not too tight with a little bit of give... Thanks Miss Sahel for the exposure you're giving this women... Hope the West and their grabby hands stay away from this...
I started applying my chebe this way without water and I'm very happy with the results. My hair has no problem retaining moisture and I have very dry 4c hair. I do use very moisturizing leave-in conditioners before applying the chebe.
Please do not delete my comment, this is something that needs to be addressed. People should not be allowed to spread lies and misinformation about black women. To the people spreading lies/ignorance. Smh people keep saying it's genetics. I have 4c hair. My hair grew to my butt only after learning how to properly care for it. For the first 18 years of my life, my hair was always short and breaking off. No woman in my family had hair to their butt before me so if it's genetics, how do you explain this? People love to spread the false narrative that black women with nappy/kinky hair can't grow their hair long. It's a myth. The main reason many black women in America don't have long hair is they don't know how to properly care for their hair and neither did their moms or grandmothers, because black women were too busy trying to assimilate into their very caucasian surroundings with chemicals, wigs, and weaves. The natural, God-given hair was neglected. It has nothing to do with genetics. Black women's hair grows just as fast as everyone else's, you will notice by how often you have to get a relaxer, color touch-up or a new set of braids. We don't see the accumulation of inches because people are either breaking off the ends with rough handling, too much heat, etc., or trimming the hair way too often, which would not be necessary if rough handling, heat, and chemicals weren't constantly causing damage and split ends. Again genetics is not the reason you don't see many black women with long hair. It's because they don't know how to *retain length* . So please kindly shut up and stop painting black women as being genetically inferior because you don't know what you're talking about. And if you are black and spreading this narrative, you should be ashamed of your ignorance concerning your own people. I will add, there are many black women with very long hair of their own. This is RU-vid; all you have to do is conduct a simple search.
@@leoangela4873 There is so much I could tell you, but first, get this book called "The Science of Black Hair" by Audrey Davis-Sivasothy. It's a black woman's hair bible and can help you find out what your hair specifically needs. You can find it on amazon.com As for my regimen, I wash (sulfate free) either weekly or biweekly based on how my scalp feels, I deep condition with every wash (I use a cap and sit under the dryer for 15 minutes) and I use a leave in conditioner and/or moisturizer and put my hair into a protective style (braids or twists). I don't use combs at all except for the tip of a rat tail comb for parting, but I will use a detangling brush if I'm going to straighten my hair. 95% of the time I finger detangle. I always make sure my hair is moisturized before detangling (to prevent breakage) and I do it when I'm taking down my protective style for wash day (some people think it's silly to moisturize first because I'm going to wash the product right out but I don't care because I'm trying to save my ends, not some product). As I take down a section I moisturize, detangle and put it in a chunky twist but I braid the ends together to keep it from unraveling. Generally I'll do about 8 twists. When I shampoo, I take down 1 section, shampoo and rinse, and braid it back up. But I keep my hair stretched out with one hand the whole time while I scrub my scalp with the other. I only apply shampoo directly to my scalp. I don't pour it down the length of my hair unless I have product buildup. It rinses down anyway, and the hair feels clean. To deep condition, again I go section by section and take down, add the deep conditioner and braid back up. I put extra conditioner on my ends first and then the rest of my hair. I don't apply it to my scalp. Then it's time for a cap and a sit under the bonnet dryer. After rinsing is when I apply a leave in and/or hair lotion again, section by section and I'll braid and let it air dry or I will blowdry on cool using the tension method (my dryer has a cool shot button and I tied it down. I set it to the highest speed and aim it down the hair). I will use a brush but just to hold the hair stretched out. I only blowdry if I'm doing a style where I'm gonna have defined parts. Most of the time I air dry because I will just grab random sections to twist or braid. I generally keep my twists or braids in a bun or buns and take the buns down to re-moisturize as needed. Now, I have used oils before but I have low porosity hair and often they end up drying my ends out. I can't do coconut or olive oil (except for ors olive oil professional incredibly rich oil moisturizing hair lotion. Recently fell in love w/ the stuff). I do use a mixture of grapeseed, castor, rosemary essential and peppermint essential oils on my scalp. But I use a very small amount on just my scalp and massage it in like twice a week at most. To really see growth accelerate you have to massage daily but I'm lazy. The most important thing is retaining length, because your hair is always growing anyway. You have to keep your ends moisturized and tucked away and handle detangling very gently. Extremely gently. Seriously. To avoid losing moisture and getting breakage you should sleep in a satin bonnet and use a satin or silk pillow case. Now me, my scalp doesn't like bonnets much but I always sleep on satin. I have 5 sets of satin pillowcases. I do not play. Another good tip is if you wear a beanie, put your bonnet on under it to keep it from zapping the moisture from your hair. If you wear mini twists and braids, you can wash your hair in them but make sure you have a bit of new growth before washing. Always go over the ends with a moisturizer I use my hair lotion, but gently pull them and twirl them back into shape with the moisturizer on your fingers to make sure they aren't tangling/matting around each other. I wouldn't leave mini twists/braids in longer than 2 months to avoid matting/locking. So baby your ends and keep your scalp clean. You will see results. As far as specific products, you have to find what works based on your porosity level and how your hair behaves. That's where the book comes in. My hair does not mess with protein so I stay away from it as much as possible. The last thing is trimming. Do the search and destroy method and do dusting when you have split ends or crispy ends. You can look these up. You can actually look up all this stuff on RU-vid but consult the book first. To avoid having to trim often, just make sure you baby your ends like I said. Then they won't need it often. Just know that when you keep your hair stretched, detangled, and moisturized, and stick to protective styling, your hair will retain length and visibly grow. You don't even have to be perfect about it. My hair grew to my butt and I stupidly put a relaxer in it, causing it to be so damaged, I chopped it off 3 years ago. I tried start 3 different sets of locs, realized it wasn't for me, combed them out and continued my hair journey. I'm at 12" now and on the regimen I just gave you. People thought I was crazy and my hair wouldn't grow back, etc., etc., but it's still on its way back after several setbacks. So just know that our hair does grow regardless. And if you need a big chop, don't be scared to do it. You can also follow me on Pinterest. Just remember my face and search my name. I have a curly weave in that profile pic. I have a board called "previous hair lengths" where you can see how long my hair was, how I killed it with the relaxer and where it is now. I keep it updated with length checks now and then. You can also see my son's hair on the board "If you love it, IT WILL GROW!" Just go to the "Eli" section. Hope it helps. Don't mind the typos, I don't have time to proofread lol.

@@brithegoddess oh my god this is so helpful Thanks a lot beauty I will start taking your advise asap Am very appreciated that you give me some of your time Thank youuuu verrrry much❤
Cordita I purchased from Amazon. On Amazon they have chebe that’s mixed in a cream. I do not use the premixed chebe cream, I simply order chebe powder and use as they use it in the video. I’m still amazed how it really works. I use I learned about this many years ago.
Slow Turtle Love Bug I use it exactly how they use it in the video. I part my hair in small sections. 1. Spray hair with water, just a little. 2. I detangle my hair. 3. I add hair pomade or hair grease (Blue Magic my favorite) 4. I grab a little Chebe and sprinkle on my hair, then braid my hair and leave it as is. I’m a walking testimony. I post a video on my hair journey soon along with the link of where I purchase my chebe from.
For anyone reading this: I used Chebe for almost two years. My hair really really grew. However I washed it out & gave myself a break because it’s a lot of work & very oily & crumby .. my scarfs & what I call my Chebe Pillow was saturated with Brown greasy oil. But I wore my natural hair in protective styles no wigs or scarfs & I received compliments All The Time. And I mean All the time🥰. It makes your hair so soft & thick.. Now once you wash it out & go back to normal hair routine it appears that it broke off Only because you get use to it being very thick & weighed down by the product. Keep in mind your hair WILL NOT SHED while using it.. all of the hair that naturally sheds as you comb it everyday is NOT coming out. Maybe a few knotted strands. But that’s it.. So ... once you stop using it .. the hair begins to normally shed again but I was bugging out & thought I was losing hair. And all that strived for was in-vain.. Yet I wasn’t it’s still as beautiful as ever.. I just had a protein treatment to my natural hair got it blown out and it’s past my bra strap in the back .. and was to my center breast in the front but I just got ends clipped for healthy growth and Chebe is going back in for another year .. it really works I would not write all of this if it were not true. Good Luck & Long Hair Sisters. I hope this helps anyone who wants to try it out. 🦋
Pink Light sahelcosmetics.com/ It will come straight from Chad there are distribution sisters here in the USA but I rather get it straight from the source. It will come in a DHL package .. get the Jet Cream along with it it’s beef fat and smells good you mix the Chebe powder in it .. Sis you can also email Miss Sahel ... Sahelcosmetics@gmail.com She responds to any questions you may have
Nya Dhal I left the powder in for 6months then washed it out then another 4 months then washed then another 6 months again then 2 months & it was getting long & I wanted to see how it looked without it. I would Grease my scalp with Indian hemp oil hair grease then begin the process on my HAIR ONLY as the video instructed. You can email Miss Sahel for the Jet Cream & she has a video on RU-vid about how to use it. It comes in small jars so you may want to get a dozen like I did Sahelcosmetics@gmail.com Put in the RU-vid search box Chebe Hair Routine you will see how to use the Jet Cream hope this helps. .. oh one last thing I use Olive Oil for my choice of oil & I mixed rice water with (spring water) Rosemary oil & vitamin E oil into a spray bottle that I keep refrigerated for my weekly hair routine when applying Chebe
That little girl is absolutely stunning. Idk why but the way she pulls her hair reminds me of how we have to stretch our hair when doing protective styling. I wonder is the reason they lay that way is to ensure it doesn’t get on their scalp.
They have 4c hair with that type of hair your hair can mess up fast so the lady is doing it tight so that the hairstyle can last longer and hold in the moisture longer
I've watched so many videos on how to apply the Chebe powered to hair I've never seen anyone use this method They put the palm made in the hair first then they sprinkle the Chebe powered after then massage it into the hair strands I'm surely gonna try this method 😊😄
Outside of the chebe powder, seems to me like they retain growth due to keeping the hair moisturized, using low manipulation and keeping the hair in protective styles. I bet lots of our hair would retain length if we did the same with or without the chebe, but I'm sure it helps
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking. People keep looking for some magic solutions, but their ain’t none. Really quality moisturizers will do fine without the Chebe, it’s not the Chebe per say, it’s just that the hair is 1). Moisturized really really well and 2). That they leave it alone.
Science Tutor not necessarily true... the Chebe is made of herbs sooo there’s some magic to it, it’s not a pointless step but the combination listed above all works together. I’ve done all of this without Chebe and did not yield the same results I am now while using it... Some of use 4 type hair girls need the extra Chebe provides to retain length
Thé secret is not thé chebe itself but thé way they apply it and thé constant routine if we use other powder but with thé same routine we Will have thé same result
something about women in a culture doing each others hair just strikes a longing in me. we're truly missing out. also watching people do each others hair just makes me wanna sleep lol
Its not just the powder. It's their environment. Chad is an equatorial region close to the desert. The heat alone without anything expands your hair follicles making your hair grow faster and longer. Here in the western hemisphere, the air is thinner and much colder which causes your hair follicle to shrink and break. I volunteered in N'Djamena 2 years ago. When I arrived I had very short close to bald hair. 6 months later my hair was so thick and was halfway through to my back and I didn't even use any products. When I returned back home in the states during winter, half my hair fell out even when I used this powder. Hair growth is dependent on your environment. If you want to grow your hair, Go and stay in West Africa for a year.
This is a beautiful video, we are getting a chance to see how these women of this culture do their hair, don't focus on the grandmother being heavy handed, if we think back to our grandmothers and mothers doing our hair it wasn't much different, these ladies are showing us how to keep it simple and not to mess with our hair so much and it will grow
And it's also very sad how we black people neglect our own way of doing things and try and copy western practices that does us only harm in the end. We should love ourselves cause that's how the creator or the Universe choose us to look like.
Yes it truly is. Our hair although seems tough and coarse, is actually the most delicate and fragile of all hair types. Yet we do the “MOST” to our hair and wonder why it breaks off and doesn’t appear to be growing. It does grow, we have just been very misguided, uneducated and ill informed as to how best to care for it. Two things I know for sure which helped me along the way (although I haven’t quite reached those lengths yet.., for a number of reasons) ... 1. Forget that grease rubbish 2. Water is definitely not our enemy We need more moisture than any other hair type and slapping on the grease ain’t the way to get that !!
T K I disagree with the last sentence.. there are countless numbers of black American youtubers with long hair.. I would say nowadays everyone knows how to grow their hair long, since hair care is more appreciated in the black community
Her hair is beautiful it thick and long and Africa they have some great hair products to use I never used the powder yet but I used their other hair products
Pay attention to the comb ladies. See how light she brushes her hair even though the comb is big enough to brush through. Not combing your hair much actually retain length
They don't. I didn't believe this stuff worked and I bought some two years ago. Fast forward to quarantine time, I pulled it out and started using it and my hair has thickened up and no shedding. I praying this continues. I was literally stunned. I don't wash my out just reapply every four days.
I think the biggest reason why is because of low manipulation to the hair I noticed when I keep sewins in my hair constantly for a year my hair grew the longest it has ever been
Ok people so here's a tip for those who still don't understand African black hair. It should not be wash a lot , only 1 or twice a week . I wash my hair every second week during winter and twice I summer cause it very hot in South Africa. Some African cultures allow women to only wear a doek "head covering" as a sign of respect to Almighty God, the angels and the elders. Some woman shave they hair deliberately bold as also tradition. The secret to black hair is to keep the scalp well moisturize to make it grow longer but yes we do wash our hair 😃😃😂😂😂
I saw a video of a Tchadien Lady who was interviewed and she said that grabbing the hair tightly ensures that the braids are tight contributes to hair growth. Stop complaining because this lady has longer healthier hair than most people complaining in the comment section!
Cotton haired Aesthetic but it’s intentional, no need to disrespect their beauty standards? bigger foreheads and pushed back hair lines its what they consider to be beautiful. they can grow their edges if they want to, they purposely don’t.
The little girl in the back is me when I was little, hanging around grown African women while they got their hair done and talked smack!😂good memories.
No such thing as high/low hair porosity huh? Just curious to know. I'm definitely trying out their hair regimen. So satisfying to watch and such beautiful women! Thanks for sharing.
I use the cream and the oil, Uhuru brand. My daughter hair grew and so did mine. Grew so much and we have permed hair. It has a strong medicated scent and it itches when it falls on around my neck. Very good product. It’s like sand.
Winny Kazungu she is definitely using a comb...watch again...the constant pulling is to get the hair as straight as possible to fully distribute the oil and water thus coating each strand with moisture.
Well am not sure my mom just got back from chad and my family send me some so am not sure about amazon I never used the amazon version one so am not actually sure
Can we stress the fact that this process is about retention which = growth. They use chebe on their entire hair, except for their bangs, from childhood and never stop. If you notice, the bangs are the shortest length. Like wearing a weave and leaving your bangs out as leave out. The back will constantly grow if braided correctly, but the part that is constantly manipulated which is the leave out, will not grow much If at all.
I love Black ppl sharing our beauty routines! However this is not magic y'all. It's the same moisture retention + low manipulation method no matter the products used. Chebe is a plant based herb, just like henna, amla, etc. These things are not growing the hair, rather aiding in conditioning the hair. You would achieve the same results with the oil, grease, and water you already know about, and of course LOW MANIPULATION styling (braids, twists, plaits, etc). Nothing wrong with buying the product, however understand it's more about how you handle your hair than a magic product. And consider that these women live in the Sahel/Sahara which is dry and hot. You might not even need this many layers of product depending on your climate. Just leave your hair alone and keep it moisturized!
They are not African Americans. They don't know anything about your " blackness ". If you say that directly to their face, they will probably get confused for a day.
Omg long live the mother land , why shouldn’t I be proud of be a Child of my Ancestors ,where our spiritual connection is strong and powerful . Hope to go there one day .

Seems like I'll have to travel to the Republic of Chad for the real powder. Too much people selling "I don't know what" on Amazon, Etsy and Ebay!🙄🤦🏾♀️
@@qqutieked6161 there should be websites that should be helpful! I haven’t actually looked but yes they all ship once u find them. A friend visited Ghana and brought me some, she got it from the market. Apparently it goes well with karkar oil so once u find that don’t forget to get the oil as well. Good luck😀
BEAUTIFUL in their own way. I ordered two full bags directly from you and my mom and I are loving it. I mixed it with shea butter and my fav oils. It keeps my hair moisturized for WEEKS!
Yes u can.. whenever u r ready to take it off, then reapply if u wish to. I normally use it in my hair as a protective style in two finger twists under my wigs for bout 2-3wks than wash, condition and reapply(chebe)
Yes it's really growing my hair by retaining the moisture my hair needs to stay healthy and grow. I've super dry hair and It's really working for me by keeping it moisturized. couldn't be happier and satisfied with the results
Today, after three wks, I was lazy to wash my hair and reapply the chebe so what I did was reactivated my hair by blending aloe vera mixed with water and coconut oil and spray it in my hair. That's all I needed to reactivate the chebe from previous application. Hope it works for u sis
Alexis489 I think it’s because they outside all the time. I went to West Africa Liberia & they do Everything Under The Sun.. I’m America everything indoors .. but that’s deep I didn’t notice any dandruff 😲
Actually it’s from lack of sun exposure here in America vs Africa that’s why in Africa the women can wear the African braids and not lose they’re edges yet it’s an epidemic here
