Chebe powder is “a powder made with cherry seeds, lavender, resin tree sap, cloves, and stones,” according to Taylor. “Mixing chebe powder with water will turn it into a clay that can be put onto your hair. It's an old tradition from Chad, Africa and is used to reduce breakage and shedding.” Chadian women use chebe powder “once or twice a week and leave it for a minimum of one to two hours and longer, if possible,” says Posina. Now, chebe powder is also being incorporated into other types of products, like Salwa Peterson’s Chébé du Tchad hair cream.
