Why Use Ambunu and Chebe for Natural Hair?
Before we dive into the routine, let’s talk about why these two ingredients are a big deal.
What is Ambunu?
Ambunu is an herbal plant from Chad, known for its cleansing and detangling properties. When mixed with water, it creates a slippery, gel-like texture that makes detangling a breeze! It also has natural saponins, which means it cleanses the hair without stripping away moisture.

What is Chebe?
Chebe powder is another Chadian hair care secret, made from a blend of herbs known to reduce breakage and promote length retention. Women from the Basara tribe, who are known for their long, thick hair, have been using Chebe for centuries.

The Ultimate Weekly Hair Care Routine with Ambunu and Chebe
Finding the right time for your hair care routine is just as importantas the routine itself. Wether it’s weekends on a relaxed mornings or afternoons. Or a weekdays- a quick one before stepping out to refresh and style. Or just before bed time to nourish and protect your hair.
Make sure to choose a time that feels refreshing to you and not exhausting. Consider looking into your schedules and make plans ahead. This approach helps you to prioritise self-care and also tailor your routine to your lifestyle. Below are steps for your hair care routines.
Step 1: Pre-Poo Treatment (Once a Week)
A pre-poo (pre-shampoo) treatment helps to protect your hair from dryness and breakage during washing.
How to Use Ambunu for Pre-Poo:
1. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Ambunu to warm water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until it forms a gel.
2. Apply the mixture to your hair, focusing on your scalp and strands.
3. Gently detangle using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
4. Cover your hair with a shower cap and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing.
Why this works: The Ambunu will make your hair very soft thereby reducing breakage when you wash it.
Step 2: Cleansing (Once a Week)
You can use Ambunu instead of shampoo since it has natural cleasing properties. But if you prefer a deeper clean, use a mild sulfate-free shampoo
How to Use Ambunu as a Shampoo:
1. Mix fresh Ambunu with warm water as described above.
2. Apply it to your scalp and massage gently.
3. Rinse with lukewarm water.
If you’re using shampoo, then you can apply it only to the scalp, letting the suds rinse through your strands.
Why this works: Harsh shampoos can strip moisture, but Ambunu cleanses gently while keeping your hair hydrated.
Step 3: Deep Conditioning (Once a Week)
Deep conditioning is something you can't run from if you want to keep your natural hair soft.
How to Deep Condition with Chebe:
1. Mix your favorite deep conditioner with ½ teaspoon of Chebe powder.
2. Apply the mixture to damp hair, focusing on the ends.
3. Cover your hair with a plastic cap and let it sit for 30-45 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Why this works: Chebe strengthens your strands, preventing breakage and making your hair more resilient.
Step 4: Moisturizing and Sealing (3-4 Times a Week)
Keeping your hair moisturized is the key to length retention.
How to Moisturize with Chebe:
1. Spray your hair with water or a leave-in conditioner.
2. Mix a small amount of Chebe powder with a natural butter (shea butter, cocoa butter) or oil (olive oil, coconut oil).
3. Apply the mixture to your hair, focusing on the ends.
4. Seal in the moisture with a heavier oil or butter.
Why this works: Chebe helps to lock in moisture for days, reducing the need to reapply products constantly.
Step 5: Protective Styling (Optional, But Recommended!)
Make protective styles like braids, twists, or buns your best friend as these hairstyles helps prevent breakage and keeps your hair healthy.
Tips for Protective Styling with Chebe:
● Apply Chebe and butter mixture before braiding or twisting.
