You have heard about Chebe and its miraculous usage by the Woodabe and Mbalantu tribe of Namibia?
I trust you have, but if you haven’t. Let me recap the essence of the gist for you while those who have heard about it before take a bottle of chilled drink and wait it out in the next paragraph.
Chebe is a mixture of a Ewe Afeloru/Ewe Ajeobale (Croton Zambesicus) seed, Kanafuru(Clove) Resin, and lavender or any other herb with a nice smell With ample variations as to other herbs thrown into the mix depending on preference or tribe recipe.
It has been used for centuries long by the Women of Namibia, Woodabe, and part Tuareg as a tonic hair wrap, usually locked in their hair as a way of trapping moisture and preventing hair breakage.
Like many other things taunted online that can be used on hair with proof of efficacy at helping hair grow or retaining hair length without breaking, there is always a catch.
Genetics plays a major role in hair length, while routine can not be overemphasized if growing a longer mane is the aim.
If you do not plan out a routine you will stick to, chances are that you might not see the result you desire.
And what does routine mean? It is just a course of action to be followed regularly and stick to diligently.
But before planning out a routine, understanding is paramount.
Your hair type, scalp preference, and product proximity and availability are key points to put into consideration in planning out a working routine that has to do with topical application.
Chebe might help with hair growth but routine ensures efficacy.
