ETA: Including "chebe" method...use your own powders preference etc. esp. if you cannot find the Chadian one and esp. since it didn't show up in a search. Dunno if anybody else used the term or not. ***Mods can move to thread about translating video...***
First off, I'm not dissing someone's desire to make money but...buttttt....this is a traditional technique for hair CLEANSING with benefits of keeping hair from breaking. It's greasy and you traditionally don't wash your hair as this replaces that in the Sahel. It does not promote hair growth, it promotes retention. Some people like the method to deep condition and moisturize hair.
Most importantly, if you try this, make sure you don't get it on the scalp to avoid irritation and skin condition like dandruff etc. for chewe/chebe but Indian powders are beneficial for the scalp. I suspect chebe doesn't truly cause dandruff but just flakes off as it gets dry and gummy and/or bums up the scalp. It could cause it...and they recommend not to ever put a HAIR product...on your scalp. ???? Caution required.
Anyhoo, here it is:

None of her hyperlinks work, though, but it's a good blog entry about the process and the traditional ingredients. One thought I'm having is about an old friend from Sudan I had who used to do this with henna powder in a kinda reverse method. She'd mix her henna, let it dry thoroughly in the hair (in summer) and when it was very powdery, brush/comb out the henna carefully, then apply oil and brush that through.

Search feature did not work properly or...I did two searches, one with it in the title, other with the subject matter. Didn't come up but thank you....probably because I put the actual product in the title .I think I have a little diff. info and videos. Maybe the @mods can merge but for future reference, I would want to be able to find this under "Chebe."
. Nice comparison video
