What Else You Need to Know about SALWA PETERSEN®’s Chébé:

Chadian women are known for their long, strong, luxurious hair, a rare phenomenon for tightly textured hair. Their ancient ritual centers on the Chébé ingredient. This nutrient-rich seed is naturally packed with antioxidants, vitamins and oleic acids– essentials for beautiful hair. In techniques passed down from mother to daughter through generations, Chébé is harvested, sundried, roasted, powdered and mixed with other ingredients to strengthen and lengthen the hair.

Our founder, Chadian native Salwa Petersen, was gifted an heirloom variety of Chébé by her great grandmother. These ancestral seeds are 100x more powerful than any of the other commonly found Chébé in Chad. In 2017, Salwa established her organic farm and open-sky laboratory in Chad to nurture that wonderful heritage. Skilled farmers paid 5 times the minimum Chadian wage (equivalent to European salaries) hand-pollinate, grow and harvest the seeds using regenerative, traditional farming methods that respect the natural cycle of nutrients in the soil, producing our exclusive Chébé.

We carefully oversee every step of the Chébé process in-house, ensuring that the hair-fortifying nutrients of the seed are preserved. Our single-source heirloom Chébé extract is used to create our proprietary ChébéBond Complex™. It is crafted as the primary active ingredient in the SALWA PETERSEN® salon-quality haircare line to benefit every wave, curl, coil and kink.

For every product sold, we give back 1% to African Parks Network to support people, planet, and culture since day 1.

Sulfates, silicones, phthalates, parabens, mineral oils, gluten and thousands of other ingredients that are likely to pose a risk to human health or to the environment.  

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, and yes! 

Why fragrance?

We believe a sensory experience is key to enjoying and using hair care. We use the absolute minimum amount of fragrance to create a pleasant usage experience and to help mask active ingredients that may not smell great on their own. We focus on naturally derived fragrances whenever possible.

Suitable for children?

Yes, from 3 years old.

Suitable for pregnant and nursing women?

Yes, and yes! We recommend seeking your doctor’s advice in case of doubt.

Suitable for grey hair?

Yes!  

I am going through menopause. Can I use this product?

Yes!  

Will this shampoo lather, since it's primarily made from Chébé and argan oil, and includes no sulfates?

Yes!

It is formulated with a decyl glucoside– a mild and biodegradable cleansing surfactant (lathering ingredient). Make sure your hands and hair are wet, squeeze product into the hand, and rub the cleanser between your palms to transform it into a lather. 

How frequently should I use this shampoo?

That depends on your scalp, strand type and texture. If you have an oilier scalp with fine or thin hair, you can use it 4-5 times per week as your regular shampoo. If you have a drier scalp with thicker coils, kinks, curls, or waves, use it once per week.

Can I use the SALWA PETERSEN® Chébiotic™ Hair Mask before shampooing as a “prepoo”, instead of just as a repairing deep conditioner? I saw someone on TikTok doing it.

Absolutely! It is a great way to nourish and strengthen your hair follicles. The postbiotics in the formula enhance healthy hair growth while soothing and respecting the scalp’s microbiome. Try using it on your scalp and hair for at least 5 minutes before shampooing with our Chébé Hydrating Shampoo.
