Indigenous to Chad and Sudan
Chébé is a hair treatment used by the Basara Arab women of Chad. This hair treatment was introduced to the world by Miss Sahel of Sahel Cosmetics, who states that: "The Basara Arab women are known to have very long naturally coarse hair that famously goes past their rear ends.
They cover their hair in a home made mixture that keeps their hair super moisturized and lubricated, which is the reason given for why they say their hair never breaks; even from childhood."
According to Miss Sahel, the Basara women state that their hair length is most definitely NOT due to genetics because they do not apply the
chébé powder mixture to their bangs, and their bangs stay short.
