Nice

"Keeps my hair feeling soft and looks shiny. While the cream is thick, application is very smooth"

— Asieh S. (5/5)

"My boyfriend’s hair was SUPER dry one day. For reference his hais is 4A/4B, coarse and very dense. I applied only this product to his hair. It surprisingly has great slip. I finger coiled his strands and let it air dry. This product left his hair moisturized for days. I also used it on my hair (3C/4A) while doing a braid out and it left my hair so beautiful and soft. I will be repurchasing. DE, please never change this formula!"

— Jasmine (5/5)

Fabulous 4C

"My curls are moisturized and defined. As a result, I have retention due to minimal manipulation. I have been using this product for the past several years and I love this product. I have been natural for over five years now and I have 4C hair. I use it for my twist out and I’m able to use it every other day. It is part of my hair care regime. I strongly feel that it would be very disheartening to go without this product. Because it will disrupt my regimen."

The only line that works

"The only line that works for my daughters hair"

— Trina Q. (5/5)

Finally!

"This product is truly a game changer. I have wanted to use Chebé powder for some time now. I even purchased some, but didn’t really know how to use it or had the time to apply it. This product has been a game changer on my twists. I have tremendously thick and dense hair. This product keeps my ends moisturized with minimal product. I love it! Please don’t ever stop selling this unless there is something better!"

— Regina B. (5/5)
