{"product_id":"chebe-growth-shampoo","title":"Chebe Strengthening Shampoo","description":"\u003cp class=\"q-lead\"\u003eA sulfate free daily shampoo carrying the same chebe powder blend as its conditioner.\nWashing is one of the roughest things most men do to their hair in a given week, and a wash that\ncleans without stripping leaves less damage behind for anything applied afterwards to make up. The\nclaim here is length retention, which is a cosmetic one. Chebe has no effect on the follicle and\nthis bottle will not put hair back on a receding hairline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chebe blend is the same preparation used through the rest of the pair, ground croton and\nmahlab seed with cloves and resin, held here in a mild wash base instead of an oil or a butter. The\nbase is sulfate free and vegan, 250 mL. Leaving sulfates out matters more in a shampoo than in\nanything else you put on your hair, since they are what lifts the cuticle and leaves the fibre\nswollen, rough and easy to snap while it is still wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the powder itself, keep your expectations low. The tradition belongs to the Basara women of\nChad, who pack it into the lengths and leave it for days at a time, and the length they carry is\nreal. What is missing is any trial, any measurement of follicle activity, any evidence at all that\nthe powder does something at the root. The mechanism that holds up is mechanical and unremarkable.\nPlant oils and finely milled botanicals coat the outside of the shaft, the cuticle lies flatter and\ncombing drags less, so fewer strands give way. In a shampoo, which is on your head for a minute and\nthen gone, even that effect is smaller than it is in a leave on or a rinse out. Most of what this\ndoes for you comes from what the base leaves out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it belongs here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was ranged for a plain reason. The\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/chebe-conditioner\"\u003eChebe Strengthening Conditioner\u003c\/a\u003e has been sitting in this\nrange without a wash to go in front of it, and a conditioner is doing repair work that the wrong\nshampoo undoes two minutes earlier at the same basin. The two are formulated to the same blend and\npriced to be bought together, and if you use one of them the case for the other is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond that, men on treatment wash more often than they used to, usually to clear topical residue\nbefore the next dose, and frequent washing with a harsh surfactant is where breakage quietly\ncompounds. Hair that is miniaturising under\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/minoxidil-topical-solution-5\"\u003eMinoxidil Topical Solution USP, 5%\u003c\/a\u003e is finer and\nmore fragile to begin with. If your hair is coarse, coily or tightly curled, or if you wear enough\nlength for a broken end to show, this is worth the swap. If you keep it cropped short, breakage is\nnot the thing standing between you and more hair, and your money is better spent elsewhere. If what\nyou want from the shampoo step is a scalp active rather than a fibre coating, look at\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/caffeine-growth-shampoo\"\u003eCaffeine Growth Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e or\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/saw-palmetto-shampoo\"\u003eSaw Palmetto Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e.

A fair amount of sweat and residue leaves with water alone, and hair that is only half wet\n    takes twice the product.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTake roughly 5 to 10 mL, about a two pence sized pool, and rub it between your palms until it\n    loosens before it touches your head. Neat shampoo dropped straight onto dry patches cleans\n    unevenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWork it into the scalp with the pads of your fingers for thirty to sixty seconds. Keep your\n    nails out of it, particularly if you dermaroll.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLet the lather run down through the lengths on its own and leave it at that. Scrubbing the\n    mid lengths and ends is where a lot of avoidable breakage comes from.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRinse for longer than feels necessary, until the hair squeaks slightly and feels clean rather\n    than coated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow with the conditioner on the mid lengths and ends, then press the water out with a towel\n    and detangle with a wide tooth comb from the ends upwards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIf you use a topical, wash and let your hair and scalp dry completely before the next dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe common mistake is leaving it on.\u003c\/strong\u003e Chebe traditionally stays in the hair for\ndays, and people carry that habit across and let the shampoo sit for ten or fifteen minutes\nexpecting more from it. A surfactant held against the scalp that long only dries it out, which is\nthe opposite of what you want on skin already under treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference in feel arrives at the first wash. Hair comes out of the shower less stripped,\nwet combing pulls less and the ends feel softer under a towel. The breakage side is slower and much\nharder to see happening. It shows as ends that stay level and length that stops stalling at the\nsame point every few months, over roughly eight to twelve weeks of consistent use. One thing it\nwill not change is the hair you find in the drain. Those strands came out at the root, and no\nshampoo reaches that. For density, a receding hairline or genuine regrowth,\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/minoxidil-topical-foam-5\"\u003eMinoxidil Topical Foam 5%\u003c\/a\u003e is the only thing in this\nrange with strong evidence behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only. Keep it out of the eyes and rinse with plenty of water if it gets in.\nChebe blends contain clove and other botanical material that sit among the more common contact\nallergens, so if your skin is reactive or you have a known plant or fragrance allergy, patch test on\nthe inner forearm and wait 24 hours before the first wash. Do not use it on a scalp that is broken,\ninflamed or freshly rolled, and leave 24 hours after using the\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/dermaroller-0-5mm\"\u003eDermaroller 0.5 mm\u003c\/a\u003e before you wash. Stop using it if you\ndevelop irritation, itching or a rash. This is a cosmetic shampoo. It is a wash, and it does not\ntreat, prevent or cure hair loss.
