FAQ
How to use Chebe powder to prevent hair breakage?
Chébé is traditionally used in the hair rituals of Bassara women to care for the lengths and help reduce breakage. It is applied to the hair and kept in for several days, particularly in protective hairstyles.
Chébé does not make hair grow faster: growth occurs naturally at the scalp. However, by taking care of the lengths and limiting breakage, it is possible to better retain the length you have gained.
The problem with Chébé powder is that it can be difficult to wear for several days in our daily lives: it can leave visible residue and a characteristic odor.
That is why we created Nobody Has To Know: a Chébé treatment that follows the principle of prolonged care while being much more discreet. Apply it to the lengths, create your braids, twists, or protective hairstyle, and leave it to act from 30 minutes to several days before your next wash.
Does Nobody Has To Know leave visible Chébé residue?
No, Nobody Has To Know does not leave visible Chébé powder in your hair. That is precisely one of the reasons why we created this treatment.
Traditionally, Chébé is used in powder form and can be left in the hair for several days. But in our daily lives, the residue and the smell of the powder can make this ritual difficult to maintain.
With Nobody Has To Know, we have integrated Chadian Chébé into a creamy formula combined with butters, plant oils, and herbs. This allows you to enjoy a prolonged Chébé treatment without visible powder, even under your braids or protective hairstyle.
And if you are wondering, "Does Chébé make hair grow?", it is important to distinguish between growth and length retention. Chébé is traditionally used to promote length retention by caring for the hair and helping to limit breakage. This is the very principle that explains the ritual of Bassara women, known for maintaining extremely long hair thanks to hair care maintained over time. By better preserving the lengths over time, the hair appears to grow more, even though it grows naturally from the scalp.
How to use Chebe on afro-textured hair?
Chebe can be used in different ways. Traditionally, Chebe powder is prepared and then applied to the hair and left in for several days. This method allows you to incorporate Chebe into a long-term care ritual, but it can be restrictive for daily use because of the powder and its scent.
For easier use, a pre-formulated Chebe treatment allows you to enjoy this ritual without having to prepare the powder.
With Nobody Has To Know, apply a small amount to the lengths and ends, then put your hair in braids, twists, or your usual protective style. The treatment can be left discreetly in the hair for several days before washing.
This is our way of making the Chebe ritual more convenient, discreet, and compatible with daily life, while still maintaining the concept of traditional long-term care.
Can you leave Chebe in your hair for several days?
Yes, Chébé can traditionally be left in the hair for several days. This is precisely what characterizes the ritual of Bassara women, who use Chébé to care for their hair and lengths over time.
With traditional powder, however, this practice can be difficult to adopt in our daily lives due to the residue and the smell of Chébé.
This is precisely what gave birth to Nobody Has To Know. We have created a Chébé treatment that can be left in the hair from 30 minutes to several days, without any visible powder.
Simply apply the treatment to your lengths, create your protective hairstyle, and go about your day as usual. When you are ready to remove the treatment, just follow your usual washing routine.
What is the difference between Nobody Has To Know and the Kaylabé Chébé deep conditioner?
The main difference lies in how the two treatments are used.
The Chebe Deep Conditioner is a deep treatment used after shampooing, for a specific application time, and then rinsed out. It is suitable when hair needs a deep, nourishing treatment as part of the wash routine.
Nobody Has To Know, on the other hand, is designed to replicate the idea of a prolonged Chebe treatment. It is applied to the lengths before a protective hairstyle and can be left on the hair for anywhere from 30 minutes to several days before washing.
So, which Chebe treatment should you choose for dry and brittle hair? Both can have a place in a routine, but for those looking for a long-lasting Chebe treatment that is discreet and free of visible powder, Nobody Has To Know is the most suitable choice. The Deep Conditioner is more indicated when you want to enjoy a deep treatment during wash day.
Chébé care that adapts to your rhythm
Don't always have time for a classic hair mask? Nobody Has To Know lets you incorporate chebe into your routine while you go about your day, whether on your braids, locs, twists, or lengths.
Inspired by the hair traditions of Chad, Nobody Has To Know combines chebe powder with a rich cocktail of butters, oils, and botanicals to care for dry and fragile kinky hair.
Its balm texture allows for application on the lengths and ends and can be left in longer than a traditional mask, without having to stay under a conditioning cap.
Use it on your braids, locs, twists, or loose hair, let it sit according to your hair's needs, then rinse thoroughly.
