2018 Coffee Tea Ayurv Henna Cassia Rice Clay Mud Avj Acv Onion

Oh, I see we're talking about chebe! I love it so far. I mix it with my whipped shea butter and use it to seal. It helps my hair retain moisture soooo well. It's hard to use with the protective styles that I mostly use though, so I'm still trying to figure that out. But if you wear twistouts and braidouts as low mani styles, and your chebe is fine enough that it doesn't give your hair a strange cast, I would say that's the optimal time to use it.

Where did you get your powder from Ms. Alex? I think Imma use mine exactly how you are using it to Seal (under wig)

I may also take GSO or RBO and add some of the Powder to it as well.

$10 bucks for 1 oz of powder is pricey.:angry2:

I got some from Chebe Magic and Chebe USA to compare, I think? This was early last fall--so far I haven't seen a big difference between the two, but chebe itself is definitely a game changer. I know some people use it like a henna treatment, but I saw the biggest difference when using it to seal.

And yes! I definitely caught a case of sticker shock both times I bought it, but I'd have to say it's really worth it, especially for those who want insane moisture retention. I've legitimately never had my hair stay moisturized as long as it did, with minimal refreshing, as when I sealed with chebe+butter.

I just went back and re-read FlyG's OP. She got hers from Chebe Gold. And it was a very grainy butter which she trashed.:eek:....:lachen: Post #110

After also experiencing shipping & CS issues (which I do remember).:angry2:

Ohhhh, nope, never heard of them, and now I won't be checking them out!
I can't stand any of that-- and yeah, I can see how chebe would have the potential to be very grainy if not properly prepared by the company. You have to be careful to warm it up in your hands, and really mix it into the butter, even when finely milled.

@IDareT'sHair Yeah, I remember mentioning in one of the threads how awful my experience with that vendor was. Smh. Never agian.

@alex114 It definitely wasn’t blended well. I did try a small amount of it on a section of my hair and it dried my hair out. I was expecting something nicely whipped or creamy.

Wow.....that's crazy. I can't even imagine the words chebe and dry in the same sentence lol-- yeah, I got the chebe powder by itself from both vendors, and I mix it with my trusty holy grail unyevu butter from Belle Butters.

I remember in U1B1.:nono:

But I couldn't remember if it was Chebe or 21st CW?:perplexed:

Weren't they both going on around the same time?:ohwell:

I haven’t had any issues with 21st CW products thankfully but that Chebe Butter was a mess. Waste of money for real.

I think part of the problem was that it wasn’t a good formulation. I personally don’t like Shea Butter unless it’s whipped or creamy, otherwise it won’t work for my hair. I feel that if I were to try Chebe agian, I’d have to just buy the powder and make my own because after that experience I was over it.

Wait. Does that mean the chebe powder swells up or something?

Not sure I'm wowed by this Chebe Gloss, BTW. I'm trying really hard to not just buy stuff because I have the means to spend right now.

Is this the one from Curls & Potions? I thought about trying that one but they were OOS at the time. My problem is sometimes I buy these things impulsively just for my hair to laugh while I cry from the money I spent.

:goodpost:.....:thankyou:

OT: GSO or RBO might not be "heavy" enough based on this post. I may hafta' think about a Heavier Oil. Maybe Avocado Oil (for my Oil Blend)?'

1 oz of Powder isn't very much tho'.

Oh, I thought you were planning on adding those to your shea butter and chebe mix for slip or because they're good for your hair or something! Yeah, you definitely need a whipped butter of some kind as a complement to the chebe.

@mzteaze I can't really explain it, but no, I don't think it swells? It just becomes kind of paste-like when it's 'soft' enough to use. Sometimes, I'll add vatika oil to my chebe before the shea butter, and it kind of just looks like and feels like rough, wet dirt until I add in the butter lol
