The Ugly Truth: Is Chebe and Ambunu a Gimmick???

[@lcmm2929]

Such a powerful message, sadly it needed to be stated! I reached waistlength in my late 50s after beating cancer in my late 40s. I couldn't have done it without chebe. Ambunu makes wash day less stressful because of its detangling properties. They are my go to products for life!

[@deed2157]

May I ask you did you go through chemo and go through hair loss? I'm looking at these hair videos thinking why bother taking care of my hair when it's gonna fall out anyway. I will be starting chemo.

[@elvenleaf5589]

​@deed2157 when you stop and start growing do the rituals and good luck 😊

[@FoAdunni]

I commend what you are saying. We are often showing self hatred towards our own cultures. I think chebe and ambunu are used as gimmicks by people using the ingredients incorrectly. People want to use the ingredients but they refuse to do the traditional hair styling and other hair care associated with it. This is another sign of self hatred.

[@Mateyena]

Too many people try to modify the techs as well and that doest help.

[@cerahiyah1]

Thank you for saying this it's so important for a person to try it before they judge it

[@Mateyena]

yep I agree

[@Leah_Tewari]

You are SO RIGHT! We use all of these other Indian herbs and rice water and no one says anything. But the women who look like us and have hair like us they don’t like it. Same thing with Shea Butter. I LOVE AMBUNU, SHEA BUTTER AND CHEBE! I LOVE THINGS MY ANCESTORS USED! I don’t know why we do this to ourselves but it’s sad. I feel like we have come a long way in loving our natural hair, but now we need to start loving our heritage too. Thank you so much for stating this: well done! ❤️❤️

[@Mateyena]

Thank you so much for understanding my point of view.

[@YAH247]

Preach! We go everywhere but home to Africa! I’m grateful for Sahel to bring them to us! This is our history that has been stolen! Thanks for the video.

[@Mateyena]

Thanks for watching.

[@bettiebrown9191]

Yes Yes Yes....I agree!

[@wildflower462]

Tell it!! I’ve been using Chébé going on 6 months on November 10th. Now I use henna to color my hair and that works but the Chébé my hair LOVES it! I don’t pay attention to hypocritical people regarding this wonderful herb. They should be ashamed of themselves. The Chadian women have been using this since childhood so of course they have serious length because they don’t deviate from using it. If you want that length (and I do) then you have to use it for a long time. The Chébé has been very beneficial with helping my hair to retain moisture and length. Now I haven’t gotten the right ratio of the Ambunu and water...YET but the Chébé on my type 4 hair is amazing. In fact my hair can’t stand rice water since I have low porosity hair. To me (and this is my own opinion from months of use) the Chébé is no joke. No one has paid me to say anything. I do the traditional method for this product...my children have seen serious growth for me. In fact this is the longest my hair has ever been. I only buy this in the kilogram size so I don’t run out...especially if things get shut down again due to the virus. So if you haven’t used the product...done it correctly or not long enough then you don’t know anything about this product. The only thing I need to get better at is mixing my Ambunu and figuring out how to not make a huge mess in getting it everywhere.

[@lcmm1448]

I grind the leaves into a powder with my blender then add fresh aloe, then water by the tablespoon till I get my desired consistency. This REALLY cuts out the mess !

[@submittofit]

Which chebe do you use

[@toyam5730]

I think what is missing is the perception of “good hair”. Those other products are used by women who has a certain kind of hair texture, length, curl pattern etc. In the past in was not normal to see black women with kinky long hair and you did it was most likely dreadlocks. Even now women with kinky hair want their hair to curl, look, style a certain way that is not consistent with their texture.

[@Mateyena]

Some of use keep chasing a certain look that we will never have in this life time.

[@islandgirl5382]

Yes, Toya, I totally agree with you! I would like to see a video on women with 4C texture using the CHEBE. The ones that I have seen in the North African countries do NOT have this texture, thus having the length, smooth texture while being applied. It does appear that it is consistent with a 'looser curl' pattern, not a kinky, coily, dry, texture.

[@thewordsmith5440]

Some of the Chadian women do have kinky textures and some have very loose hair.

[@joanne4663]

Thanks Mateyena, Afro hair Influencers need to realise they have a responsibility to help promote positivity regarding our hair and race. You are correct when you say they shouldn’t condemn a product before trying it. Especially if it’s a product for Afro hair discovered by black people themselves.

[@fayedixon677]

your are so right! ...the idosyncracy!...people really need educate themselves.

[@fayedixon677]

You are so right!

[@MundaneMagickalDIYsYT]

This was so awesome! I agree with your thoughts, on how we as Black people, still need to wake up to realizing we are Beautiful and Powerful too! Thank you for sharing! Love ❤️ Sekhmet SapphyreSun❤️😻🙏🏾

[@Sierra000]

I used chebe for six months and my hair grew like a weed! I’m currently using it again and my hair is growing. These women are missing out on some great natural products! It took three months to see the first signs of results but after that my hair took off! Thank you for the video 😁

[@Mateyena]

Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@margaretolasanoye5700]

How did you use the chebe

[@Sierra000]

@@margaretolasanoye5700 I got JBCO and mixed the chebe in it ( a slightly liquid texture ) , after washing my hair , I’d apply sulphur 8 on my scalp ( I have S. Dermatitis ), and then continue in with a leave in conditioner. After that I’d begin braiding down my roots ( braid about two or three times if you have the length, I never put chebe on my scalp ), then I’d apply the chebe mixture as I continued braiding. I’d have about eight plaits total, but it turned into 6 as my hair grew. I kept my hair like that under a bonnet and wore headwraps or wigs . Good luck sis 😁

[@Sierra000]

P.S because of my scalp condition I wash my hair once a week and that’s with chebe as well. If you don’t feel like braiding you can African thread.

[@sislisa4895]

SAY THAT!!!! I love you for saying that my dear. SOOOOO TRUE!!

[@Mateyena]

Thank you so much for watching.

[@celeste5607]

Excellent point about women of African descent who live in the Americas are so willing to praise the others and not willing to praise people who look like them and have hair like them. Shame on that youtuber that you are referring to who is saying a product is a gimmick without even trying it. Many time I think we are our own enemy. I tried Chebe and love it. I have not tried Ambunu but will give it a try. The damage that Eurpoeans and others have done to the peoples of Africa is so huge that it makes us turn on ourselves. So sadddddd!! Thanks for speaking truth.

[@adellythomas6168]

I’m so glad you said this. Everything doesn’t work for everybody. All we have to do is try it. If it works great, if it doesn’t...don’t use it. Sometimes people don’t follow directions and sometimes people have their own agenda and don’t want you to buy somebody else’s product because they are trying to get you to use theirs. Good job for speaking out.

[@tameraslaughter6686]

Thanks for setting the record straight. We must begin to tell each other the truth and learn how to love ourselves as well as each other. Praise God for you sister. Shalom

[@melcarioh9504]

Agreed! Well said. We need to support our own and get out of that slave mentality. African Americans were taught on the plantations that we were not beautiful because of the texture of our hair and the color of our skin and we have passed that self hatred down generations! I am just learning about this and I am trying it for the first time right now. I can honestly say I love the way it makes my hair feel. Thank you for making this video.

[@Mateyena]

[@lolafahlana]

Ambunu actually works i recently brought it Chebe actually works my hair got long and softer actually I made a shampoo with raw black African soap bc store brought shampoo was making me have really bad dandruff also those homemade oils work too with the herbs I actually put a little chebe in all my oil mixes with the Indian stuff and hunny let me tell you it works mix it up it works

[@marywilliams6578]

I thank you so much for your reviews. I just started in august with natural products from my kitchen for me and my Family. I ordered so much stuff from Amazon not knowing the product. I wanted to go back to OUR ancestors for our hair and skin. I love all the products chebe and ambunu. It allowed me to make our grease shampoo deep conditioner. Thank you for keeping it Real. I have subscribed to you. Thank you for ALL that you do. I was tired of all those additives and alcohol in products but natural is BEST to go. Be Bless sister

[@kimberlywilliams2905]

Chebe is not a gimmick....Chebe is the TRUTH!!!! We have been too colonized; we lost our culture and history. It works....my hair has changed. My hair love's chebe. You speak the TRUTH!!!!

[@Kralice4u]

OMG! YOU KEEP IT 100!! I appreciate your honesty!! "People that have hair like you" was the line that did it for me!! Thank you so much. I love Ambunu. I just do not know how to use Chebe on my hair. Anyone reading this comment please help!!

[@shanequaaustin8908]

You can make Chebe hair butter and Chebe oil and Shampoo and conditioner you can look up videos on KZbin

[@Superlife1369]

@Mateyena I subscribed because you literally said the words right as I was thinking them! I found rice water a few months ago and I swore by it even when it was making my hair super dry. I liked all the other Indian stuff too and have tons of it. I've got flax seed and marshmallow root too! I happened to come across a video where this lady was talking about Ambunu so I was like ok I'll try it. I received my 2 bags from Sahel (the lady spoke highly of it so I bought two bags...lol) and I tried it yesterday and I applied it, detangled, rinsed, AND styled my hair in less time than it usually takes me to JUST detangle my hair!!! (I've got that 4C fine but dense hair so I have to treat it gently). Anyways, It caused me to praise Yah and say that he put the things that each people group needed to use in the place that they would be!!! Ambunu is where it is at and it is soooooo much more easier to prepare than anything coming out of India or China! Yah is worthy to be praised for his infinite wisdom alone! You sure right Mateyena, you said nothing but truth. I can't believe I haven't heard of this AMAZING AMBUNU until about a week ago. We gotta do better fam and quit giving our money to strangers instead of family!!!! B1 👊🏾

[@Mateyena]

Thank you for watching

[@imdinma9826]

I will definitely try ambunu now. The indian powders made my scalp itch and flake and dry. My African hair was not accepting of it. I never tried rice water but do rice deep conditioner. Idk how to so chebe though, i dont like that it cant be used on the scalp.

[@rachelakewushola4199]

Thank you so much for speaking the truth and standing by it! Ambunu is being called a gimmick but people swear by rice water and acv then they think their 4 inch split ends is overnight growth! Smh 🤣 I'm from Nigeria and I just started using ambunu!

[@Mateyena]

Thank you for watching

[@kidsmorekids8]

I also jus subscribe because of how you stay professional by not saying the KZbinr who has not use the product but claiming it is a gimmick that my sister takes strength and well grooming.

I for one love ambunu. I will most likely never use shampoo again. Ambunu takes care of it all. I use it in many ways. Glad I tried it.

[@Mateyena]

Ambunu is just too amazing.

[@sunneblues]

Hey Tara. Great. Will you share how you use ambunu as a shampoo. how do you mix/make it. Thank you in advance. I just heard about it today and started researching. I started chebe on 3/7/21 and yeah. I had an inch of new growth in 5 days. I had to keep remeasuring to convince myself that it was real. But more importantly was the strenghtening of my hair. My hair was breaking out in long strands like crazy (think I have bad water at my house)....anyway. I was soooo happy. I'm keeping it braided and remoisterizing with chebe and moranga every 5 days.

[@mydisciplecoach]

It's all about patience and loving self and your hair. Thank you for this video

I have used ambunu. Just used it yesterday to shampoo my hair. I love it. It cleanses without stripping. I makes my hair soft and strong all at once.

[@trinigul7339]

Girl!!!! I long peeped the nonsense so I DO NOT listen to them. First of all, Chebe and Ambunu are WORKING for myself and my friends. And over time, I am shocked that I am STILL braiding. I look at those who are USING Chebe so that I can get extra tips

[@Mateyena]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the products

[@Nikki-il8oe]

Abmbunu is AHHHMMMAAZING . I seriously have a better time on wash day and lose a lot LESS hair now...it’s going on 3months

[@tarad99]

Me too! Wash day is an adventure with ambunu!

[@ZzzZ-sb9ju]

how do you use it and make the mixture? Can it be used for conditioning too? Is it just a shampoo?

[@2lovely86]

I boil the water then place the leaves in.. strain and it’s ready

[@2lovely86]

It can be use for every step However i still use deep conditioner as i find my hair needs more moisture

[@TravelingraceNP]

I totally agree with you. I am all about herbs and healthy hair. I ordered and tried Ambunu for the first time last week on my hair and my both of my daughters hair and I absolutely love it. It made detangling so easy and left our hair feeling so soft. I will continue to use it and support these ladies. Just received my Chebe butter and can not wait to try it also.

yep great products

[@terrellavery9]

I'm a black guy that started my male grooming line for beard products. I've seen people I know for a fact that it works.

[@janinedear-barlow]

I really want to try ambunu! I have been washing my hair with clays for 10 months and my hair has grown so much and my scalp isn't itchy like it used to be and it makes my hair so soft! I mistakenly bought fenugreek instead of flaxseed and have used it as a tea on my hair but couldn't see or feel any difference to me hair but have only used it a couple of times. I struggle to retain length because my hair splits so easily because it is so fine. My hair grows so so slowly. I don't see how rice water can do anything. Indian hair grows long easily because of their hair not what they put on it. update: I tried it a few times but it made my hair feel really dirty. Felt like it had a powder over my hair from it and my head got really itchy. It also made my hair feel hard.

[@jaden0889]

I use Chebe and Ambunu in my natural beauty products and guess what?? It works!!!💯💯💯

[@whitneysolier1102]

Great video with excellent and valid points. We have to stop looking at other cultures in order to define ours. What works for one culture may not work for another. Some of the most popular natural hair products have not worked for me, so I take anything beyond the basics with a grain of salt. But if I am open to trying another cultures techniques and products, they why not try what is coming out of my heritage as well.

[@Mateyena]

You are absolutely correct, I will also try something from my heritage first before I venture out.

[@ChocolateFitness]

I know this video is old, but it came across my feed. I am subscribing to your channel based on this video because everything you have spoken is the truth. Some time ago, I ordered Ambunu and never used it because I wanted to take the time to use it the correct way. A month ago, I ran out of commercial shampoo and came across my pack of Ambunu. Ambunu changed my life! I love it! I use it as a detangler, leave in and a shampoo. Will never go back to using commercial again. I haven't tried Chebe yet, but now, I am curious to try it.

[@devaallen0]

I have not tried chebe, but ambunu is fantastic. Thank you for this message.

[@Jazz-zm7ey]

Neither is a gimmick! These herbs from Africa are THEE TRUTH! I use Chebe and the last time I took my braids down, detangled my hair, reapplied the Chebe and braided my hair again, I had two strands of dead hair from Emmy whole head! I just ordered and from all the videos, I love the slippage and can’t wait to use Chebe will grow your hair overtime, not instantly, because it helps to prevent breakage.

[@Thataliah]

I would absolutely be willing to try ambunu. It's just a little hard to get it in Canada. There is one source I have found on amazon. they want $19.00 for 50 grams and an additional $27.00 for shipping. I'm not going to lie, that kind of price tag is a little hard to swallow.

[@MeshaRivers]

Exactly!!! We are so quick to turn our back on or tear down our own. I only see this in the black community. I have other cultures who lift and support my business but not one black customer and my product was formulated for us.

[@harmony1211]

Wow so true, we should just say everything we try DIY on YT is a gimmick? You have a POINT! Believe me I have tried all of the these products you have commented on. If it is natural I aim to try it at least once. I want to try Ambunu. Thanks so much for being honest!

[@SBlue215]

So true Sista! They will glorify things from other people and put down anything from black people until they figure out away to profit from it & cut out the black profits. Sad how counterproductive it is & our own people participate in this madness.

[@TheKspain]

It's the propaganda from hundreds of years of that dominant culture telling us what's best, beautiful, trustworthy, etc. The Matrix is alive and real. People forget that the reason African nations were carved up and colonized was because of all the riches that it held and still holds. Every aspect of our culture is worthy of copying but not worth giving credit. I agree Sis!

You made a great point it’s really sad our people are so quick to support “well known” people than their own kind and it goes beyond hair products but in all aspects. I guess it’s that evil eye towards your brother. Me personally I prefer products made by people who look like me that other cultures. And my only concern with chebe was the directions say not to use it on the scalp just the hair shaft. I will definitely be ordering some Ambunu for my next gel formulation.

[@LOLITASIMONE]

Things are changing.woman are now learning to embrace their natural hair. Specially coarser&kinky texture hair. Unfortunately , this was impregnated in women for centuries . Gowing up , it would seem like there was something wrong with this hair type, then texturizing and relaxing it was a remedy to imitate silky hair. Anywho! I am so glad women are appreciating their hair, understanding we are not equal and there is beauty in every culture and race.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻it took 40 years for me to appreciate my hair and be no apologetic .. I tried the rice water and it works on my hair. I believe it became popular so fast cause cheap and easy to do.. I eat rice everyday 😂😂 today I was looking for other natural product to use and I came across the video of the “chad” village and the procedure they do. I found it interesting, worth the try.. the difference is that you have to purchase this herb online because it cannot be found in the USA, so it does not make it as easier as the ride water. Plus the thing for me is that I don’t know to recognize if is legit (powder). So I need to to extend research where to buy it from and which brand. I am down about what you said , “these woman in those villages, should be compensated “. There are so many greedy people on this world. It happens all over the world.. humble tribes that make nice hand craft and products only get paid a misery while the others get super rich.......I also thing that the Yao woman of China and the “chad woman from Africa do not let their hair out. They alway wrapped their hair or braid them.. So this place a factor in hair growth.. they don’t do a lot.. they all have their routine. They don’t cut it..don’t color their hair, don’t bleach their hair.. etc.. they just let their hair be❤️❤️❤️

[@alexxdaye1]

I really can't stand rice water in my hair and henna too. I even tried flaxseed. They all dry my hair out without any shine. I have used mostly Indian products. Truth is I managed to grow my hair out but it's so dry to the extent my family think I don't put any effort in my hair. I have just come across Chebe and Ambunu. A bit late to this party but I am super excited to try. It is true some Africans believe if it is African it's not good, I have seen this in everything from food, clothes and more.

This is one of the main reasons I jumped off of the henna bandwagon, and never really embraced the whole rice water thing. It was becoming sickening to me, watching the trend of people over hyping natural remedies as if they are the cure to every hair issue, and the end all be all. Everyone is going with what has been popularized, and what supposedly works for the KZbinrs with looser textured hair. Many of whom had hair that was relatively long from the beginning of their hair journeys, mind you. So it wasn't too hard for them to achieve their goals once they incorporated good hair care practices. But when they see women whose hair more closely resembles their own, who have achieved their desired length by practical means and over a more extended period of time, "it's too good to be true", "they must be mixed", etc. etc., excuses, excuses. I figured that if I gave henna 7 years of my time (along with other ayurvedic ingredients for a considerable amount of time) and it helped with certain things, but didn't help me achieve my desired length. Than I definitely can try other ingredients that have helped black women grow their hair long in Africa. I thought it only right to give them a comparable amount of effort and attention. So I'm in the process of phasing out henna as I use up my stock and incorporating these ingredients into my regimen. I also find it very interesting that when a particular youtuber who helped popularize ayurveda on this platform (but definitely wasn't the first one in the black community to bring it to the attention of the natural hair community) started talking about chebe, she didn't really hype it up nearly as much as all the other natural remedies that she promoted from India and China. Particularly, when this youtuber always acts like she's down for the culture, but when it really comes down to it, she doesn't go hard for black brands owned by fellow KZbinrs or black brands that have pre-formulated products that are cost efficient and more readily available. With the exception of one brand she repeatedly promotes, that has been in the hotseat as of late due to a controversial commercial, the company being acquired by a larger brand, and because of the CEO's alleged misconduct. In my opinion she is out of touch with what the community's core values should be. But nobody bats an eye, they all support her because she has super long hair...

Thank you so much for this comment, I also noticed what she did with the Chebe she only used it once and it was a sponsored video from Bell Bar Organics and after that she never touched it again. I know she loves to say she is part African but she shows she loves her Husband culture more than her own based on what she shows on her platform. In one of her vlogs few years ago she showed her cousins from her African side and they did not have long hair and I was wondering why isn't she helping her black side of the family to grow long healthy hair. Her hair will be long without all those Indian herbs she promotes. But so many follow her thinking they will have hair like her.

[@ChristsChemist]

@@Mateyena Yep! Wow, I never seen that vlog, but I can believe it. Welp, if she and all the other popular KZbinrs wants to ignore this gem. Than that leaves the door wide open for one of our own to take the lead in showing the science behind it, and its best uses and practices for length retention and healthy hair. So I'm not mad at her, I'll be apart of the change that I want to see on this platform. Fortunately, we have people like trichologist Afope Atoyebi that have begun to show the true science in hair care.

[@vellvet36]

Well said! The people that are calling it a gimmick hate themselves stuck in the slave mentality!

[@camilletaylor8660]

Very good. Thank you for the video.

[@Mateyena]

Thank you too!

[@tokayangraham1273]

Let them think w.e...I dont need them to flock it and it gets more expensive

[@chalseywilder937]

I think it's both. I don't think people say it's a gimmick in the sense it's a product that doesn't work because it works. But in the sense it's trendy and companies are using it to make sales after having too many lines already.

[@chalseywilder937]

Also a lot of auervedic herbs are grown in Africa as well.

[@laurajoseph6136]

Have hair like you :) Love how you put it.

[@robertadrummond8359]
