Instructions
After 3-5 days have passed, remove any dust or particles from your braids. Refresh with water or hair tea. Using gloves, reapply the conditioner/oil mix you made. Apply chebe powder over the hair. Rotate between those two steps until braid is fully coated. Then 2-3 days later, you can take your braids and wash as usual (or prepoo). Repeat chebe treatments every 6-8 weeks.
The mask/treatment method: Mix equal amounts of your favorite conditioner and one of our hair oils and add in 1 tsp of chebe and 3-4 tsp of your favorite Ayurvedic herbs (make sure 1 or 2 of them is fenugreek, aloe or hibiscus for moisture). Mix well. Apply onto the hair strands by sections (avoiding the scalp). Leave in the hair 1-2 hours or use a heat cap to cut the time in half. Then rinse out using our cleansing cowash. Moisture, dry and style as usual.

Moisturizes Caucasian Hair
I live in a dry climate and am always looking for moisturizing/conditioning products. Before purchasing, I tried to research and find out how this would work for caucasian hair. (I am mentioning this because others have specifically asked me about this.) I couldn't really find any information, so I just decided to try it.
After one use, I was hooked. I mixed it with fenugreek and hibiscus and left it on for two hours. My hair felt so soft and conditioned. I will definitely repurchase this product. -
My hair love, loves this stuff
The past 3 months I’ve seen dryness and breakage. Not sure where it’s coming from. But tried Henna Sooq chebe, doing a total of 9 days with product in the hair. I followed carefully the instructions on the package and refreshed the oil and chebe after 4 days, twice. My oils were jbco, olive oil, (with some rosemary and lavender essential oils added). Rocked a head covering to work, looked gorgeous :) I rinsed out on 8/7/21. I’m not an expert on what it does to the hair but what I see it doing to my hair it seems to be helping it use oils better, penetrate. The dryness seems to have stopped. I washed and twisted it after, getting the chebe out of the hair was a nightmare for me. The granules also got in one eye while I was asleep because i sleep wild and the bag I was wearing didn’t stay secure. That was bothersome. But the twists are the best I’ve ever seen with my hair, moisturized and they’re actually shining. I was hoping I wouldnt have to be bothered w chebe again!! lol because it’s so labor intensive and messy. But there’s NO way I can’t do this again. My hair seems to love it. Jury is out on what the hair will do in the coming weeks before I do the next chebe application. But so far it’s fantastic.
