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.

This was DEFINITELY an impulse buy. I honestly have all of ingredients to make my own except the chebe powder. Figured I'd try to see if the chebe is worth the purchase. So far, I can't say I see it as a vision of "must need purchase" just yet.

Oh ok. I first heard about this brand from The Mane Objective. She was raving about it so that made me want to try it. At this point I might just get a Chebe paste and make something myself. Chebe USA sells the paste and powder.

I wonder if it will work that way?:scratchchin:

I'd use it to Seal with I guess? Maybe I better just stick to mixing it with the SB?

You can definitely go ahead and try? But based on my playing around with it, it is too heavy for any oil, even possibly JBCO-- it'll just soak it up and look like wet dirt, which will then be pretty hard/messy to apply, and then difficult to make stick to your hair. JBCO wasn't terrible as a complement to chebe, but it didn't hold a candle to SB, for me.

When you sit down and play with it, I'm sure you'll see whether oil infused chebe makes sense for you. Although, I wonder if oil infused chebe wouldn't make a really good pre poo, or complement to deep conditioning, rather than sealant. *puts on thinking face*

Makes perfect sense!:up:

@ladybevy
Where are you getting your Chebe stuff from?

I got my Chebe stuff from Curls and Potions. It was the Chebe Clay Gloss. I liked it from the both times I have used it. But it on the pricey side but got it with a discount(at the time 40% off). That is the only way I will buy it.

I am not a mixologist. I don't have the time, patience or skills for that(also have health issues). So I usually just buy stuff. I wish I was though. It would be much cheaper and easier.

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.

Hmm, I might try this. Thank you for this info!!

For those mixing it with Shea butter, how are you applying it and how long do you leave it on?

What about the paste?

I usually dampen my hair a bit with either straight water from a spray bottle, or my Oyin Juices and Berries spritz, then I section my hair and go through, making sure that the chebe butter mix is getting on all my strands. I usually start a couple inches away from my scalp, also. Then I'll braid up or Bantu knot my hair (braid if I'm wearing a wig). In terms of leaving it on, when my hair is out, I'll leave it until the next time I wash, which could be two weeks.

I don't rinse it, since the first video I ever saw with the women from Chad was of them actually allowing the chebe to kind of build up on their hair, with their applying it every 5 or so days with no washing. I've also re-applied it twice in two weeks without washing, which I really liked. It made my hair hang more rather than shrinking from being damp, which was a very pleasant surprise.

What Ya'll doin' with Clays: Rhassoul, Kaolin, Bentonite? Anything?

I have no clue how to use it tbh-- it makes my hair soft and defined, but I can't get the right mix to make it easy to wash off of my scalp, which is a huge problem/deal breaker for me because I have seborrheic dermatitis, and messing with my scalp too much/scrubbing it too hard to remove stuff can lead to breakouts.
