Reviews
I received my order a
"I received my order a few days ago. It smells really good. It’s not too runny. It’s not too thick. It’s just right, it really got my hair ready for the wash the shampoo. My scalp was really itchy before I used it. It really helped stop the itching on my scalp, made my hair softer easier to comb. I love this product and I will be buying more. Oh FYI, I did buy three jars right away. This is my first time using it and I hope that it continues to work well in my hair. After my hair dried my hair is soft, easy to comb and stronger. I love this and I have already been buying the Chebe shampoo and leave in conditioner. I hope there are more African Chebe products to come, for instance, moisturizer, oil for the scalp who knows? The sky is the limit. Also, my hair is relatively fine but after using the Chebe products, my hair is fuller, softer and breakage and shedding is minimal. Thank you for this wonderful product that really works."

Awesome
"My hair feels amazing. Hydrated but not weighed down. Definitely takes a minute to rinse out, but it also makes detangling a breeze. Smells nice but not overwhelming. Works well with the honey creme line."

This is an initial review.
"This is an initial review. I Love this pre-poo! Love the smell of the whole line and the consistency is a bit runny, so I applied with gloves. Just a tip, make sure you fully detangle prior to applying because it does not provide slip. I chose to sit with heat for 30 minutes and when I removed my cap, my hair looked so shiny and moisturized and I had placed my hair in twists after coating each section and my twists were plump. My hair drunk this herbal mask. The next time I use this I am going to apply without gloves because I want to feel what my hair feels like. Out of the whole system this by far was my favorite. I would definitely repurchase this."

"I just ordered 3 jars after previously finding it in store and falling in love with the results it gave. However the appearance looks different from my previous jar. Im wondering if there has been a change in the ingredients."

Moisturizing with strength but the smell is awful
"The worst smelling product I have ever smelled in my life. Smells like when your on a road trip and there aren't very many hotel opinions available and you have to settle for a motel that only has one room left and when you enter the room it smells like people have been smoking in there. It smells like an old crusty cigarette filled motel room. I am not even exaggeration"
