Ambunu from Chad – Plant-based detangling shampoo

For dry and frizzy hair, a good natural shampoo must first and foremost cleanse without leaving hair feeling rough, while making it easier to manage during washing. When hair tangles easily, a naturally slippery texture is also a real advantage.

Ambunu is particularly well-suited to this need. Upon contact with water, this plant releases a naturally gel-like, slippery texture that cleanses the hair while facilitating detangling.

We have chosen Ambunu from Chad as the base for our plant-based shampoo and enriched it with black seed, horsetail, nettle, peppermint, and panthenol. It thus combines gentle plant-based cleansing, slipperiness, softness, and suppleness in a single step.

Ambunu is a plant traditionally used in Africa for hair care. When it comes into contact with water, it releases a naturally gelatinous and slippery substance, which explains why it is valued as a plant-based cleansing and detangling treatment.

For kinky, curly, and coily hair, this property is particularly beneficial: Ambunu helps to gently cleanse, facilitate detangling, and provide more suppleness.

At Kaylabé, we have chosen Ambunu from Chad and enriched it with nigella, horsetail, nettle, peppermint, and panthenol to create a complete plant-based shampoo tailored to the needs of textured hair.

To make detangling coily hair easier, it is important to work with sufficiently damp hair, avoid pulling on knots, and work from the ends to the roots. A product that naturally provides slip can also make this step much easier.

Which plant should be used to detangle hair? Ambunu is one of the plants that is particularly beneficial for this, thanks to the slippery texture it releases in water. This property is highly sought after in natural hair care products designed for detangling.

Our enriched Chadian Ambunu allows you to take advantage of this slip directly during washing. It helps to separate strands and gradually detangle the hair before rinsing.

Ambunu can be incorporated into a wash routine once a week or as needed by your hair and scalp. The ideal frequency depends, among other things, on how often you wash, product buildup, and your hair's specific needs.

With our enriched Chadian Ambunu, you can incorporate it into your wash day as a plant-based shampoo, then follow up with your usual mask or deep conditioner.

Yes. Ambunu is particularly interesting for providing slip and suppleness to the hair. Upon contact with water, it naturally releases a gel-like texture that helps make hair easier to handle and detangle.

It can also help maintain a softer and more supple feeling in the hair during washing. However, it is necessary to distinguish the slip and suppleness provided by Ambunu from complete hair hydration, which relies on a routine adapted to the needs of each head of hair.

Our enriched Chadian Ambunu combines this plant with black cumin, horsetail, nettle, peppermint, and panthenol to offer a botanical shampoo that gently cleanses while leaving hair more supple and easier to detangle.
