Ambunu is an old tradition from Africa. I discovered this tradition while talking with elder Chadian women. They told me that back in the day women use to wash their scalp with it and at the same time use it to detangle their hair.
The benefits of it comparing to other herbal shampoo like shikakai is that is it actually very slippery and can be use as a natural conditioner. This plant contain saponin which gives it its ability to cleanse and it is an effective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and an emollient.
How do you use Ambunu on hair?
To use Ambunu you just have to mix one cup of Ambunu with one cup of water, let it sit on his own for ten minutes until it becomes gooey, then put it on your hair rub it, detangle and rinse it off or leave it on.
This plant is actually still very commonly used among other nomadic women in the Sahel regions. They just name it differently according to their own dialect.

Wasn’t sure if this would work for me but after several washes, I can say that I love it! I started sharing this with family and so far they are loving it too! Our hair is soft, more moisturized and the fact that I can detangle my hair with my fingers with just the amount is amazing! People are starting ask about my hair now and I started sharing that I’ve been using this and the chebe oil. I’ve been watching your YouTube since 2020 and I’m glad I gave this a chance.

Wonderful

Nicole Y.
I was surprised at my curls after applying the herbs. After blow drying my hair I also noticed that I shed less hair.
Shanay E.
I've been looking for other methods of cleansing my hair besides regular shampoo. Winter is on it's way, I'd like my hair hydrated and clean.
Dr M.
Amazing!! Truly love this product!
Stephanie H.
I love the slip I get from the gel of this wonderful product, it makes my hair feel incredibly soft.
Daniella D.
Very easy to use and detangles the hair nicely. Reminds me of flaxseed with a nice herby earthy scent. Filter through a sieve or even a cheesecloth and you’re good to go! May take a few washes to get all bits out but it feels like a nice little treatment to do on wash day.
Brenda C.
Delivery met expectations. The product s used as my
Shampoo and conditioner keeping my hair well moisturised. Recommended.
Janie
I bought this product off Amazon, and I followed the directions step by step, but I didn’t get the results that everyone else has gotten. Can someone please explain what or why this this product isn’t working for me. Thanks
Layla O.

Yolanda
I love this stuff! My hair loves it too. I put it in a spray bottle and spritz my hair as a leave in.
Sabrina S.
This Amunu I use it as both my shampoo and my conditioner. It detangles my hair very well as well as it leaves my thick 4c hair very soft and curly when dry and soft and wavy when wet. I love it and it will be my go to shampoo and conditioner for the foreseeable future.
Twanna B.
This product is amazing! My hair is clean and soft.
Karla M.
I love this product. I bought Ambunu from another vendor. Let's just say, I'm so glad Sahel Cosmetics got this back in stock! I'll only buy Ambunu from you!
Nicole B.
I love this stuff. It makes my hair feel wonderful and moisturized!
Siana C.
Officially a staple in my weekly hair routine! It does an excellent job moisturizing and strengthening my hair while being instrumental in keeping my hair detangled throughout my routine. Love love love it!
June S.
WOW, I just used this for the second time and I slipped through my hair with ease soooo little shed hair and I kid you not, NO breakage. I learned about this wonderful herb on Curly Proverbs site. Ambunu is super moisturizing, detangling and smells like a fresh cup of green tea. Please share this with more vloggers because this is too good for naturals to miss! When I washed the excess off my hands they were so soft and moisturized - imagine what my hair feels like! Definitely worth trying. I blended the leaves to make a powder, followed the instructions and strained it using a milk nut bag. Makes a thick gel so I used an applicator bottle to apply. Thank you making Ambunu available to us and helping to restore lost knowledge!
Nicole
Thus stuff is the bomb! It gets your hair clean without stripping it and it helped form my curls better!
Pamela C.
I AM IN LOVE! My hair is so soft and moisturized. Love Love Love. Let's talk detangling minutes instead of over an hour on both mine and my granddaughter's hair. Soft juicy twist. Did I tell you I LOVE it? Well I do!
Nana G.
I have course hair for C I would say, and it tangles very easily. Before I started using Ambunu, I experienced quite a bit of breakage after each washing due to my tangled ends. After three treatments with Ambunu, my breakage has decreased from 70% to 20% after wash.
Ambunu is amazing and I recommend it to anyone that has tangled hair. M is awesome. It is an awesome detangling treatment; Way to go Miss Sahel! Thanks for helping the women of African descent living in the diaspora to explore new and natural treatments for our natural hair!
An excited, satisfied customer!!
Khalilah K.
My curls are poppin!!! I got compliments immediately. I am very very happy with the results
Erica S.
It was very easy to make and mess free. I put the leaves in the jar with the water, rubbed them together for a bit, it got thick, and I poured it through a knee hi into an applicator bottle. I could have diluted it more, and I will for the next time. It was very cleansing and made my hair feel thicker/coarser, so if your hair is thin and you're looking for a denser feel this could help. Hair was very manageable. I'm still experimenting with it. As I said, I made my batch too concentrated. The gel does freeze well!
Jackie
Ambunu made my hair soft and tangled free .
Priscillia E.
Très bonne qualité de Ambunu. Mes cheveux aiment !
Tambu M.
This shampoo is legitimate! Unfortunately the courier lost my ambunu! I will order again.
marina l.
I’m absolutely in love with the Ambunu I will probably never get shampoo again. Thank you soooooo much!!
Bernice A.
I love this product, it cleans my hair very well and makes my hair soft, it also detangle my hair without leaving any knots.
I used it has shampoo and leaving-in conditioner. Before my hair used to make a lots of knots when I washed it with other shampoo but AMBUNU is totally different.
I will continue to used Ambunu.
I will continue to buy Ambunu.
Shannon R.
I’m in love with this natural hair cleanser, easy to make and work great
Melanee
Life changing!
Karemah A.
Ambunu is the most amazing thing to happen to my hair. When I say this herb has slip, I mean look forward to easy detangling!!! I added essential oil of lemongrass to mine for a little more of a clarifying effect. I do a lot of hot oil treatments between washes, so that was necessary. What's natural is what's best, and Ambunu, more than reetha nuts (Indian soap nuts) work best for tightly curled hair. This herb is definitely a game-changer!!!
JOEL S.
Ambunu: Is a naturally smelling, slippery and beneficial herb that helps the hair.
Shanae P.

Love the ambunu. It helps to relax my coils for detangling. I also like that it’s versatile and moisturizing and can be left in the hair. It reduces the shrinkage slightly.
Anita M.
Simply wonderful. My hair is so soft and shiny. Love the sheen this product gives my hair. Received my order very quickly.
Toni-Q H.
I’m always fascinated by this product. It’s capable of getting the worst tangles out of my hair when it’s applied and leaves it so soft while increasing its manageability. So happy that I found this.
My W.
I absolutely love shampooing my hair with Ambunu!!!! I only use Ambunu to wash my hair and, I love the way it detangles and conditions my hair!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!! Enjoy!!!
FYI, I strain my Ambunu mixture so I don't have to worry about trying to get the Ambunu herbs out of my hair!!!
Fisayo O.
I have used ambunu to wash my hair. I have seen less shredding and also my dandruff has greatly reduced. It is worth every cents.
Gennifer S.
Première expérience avec l’ambunu!!! J’ai adoré son côté démêlant mais je n’ai pas réussi à laver mes cheveux avec car j’avais fait un prepoo et vu que ça ne mousse pas vraiment ça n’a pas nettoyé mes cheveux!
Lilac B.
This was amazing and worked so well for us that I've been spreading the word!
Krystal C.
I love your ambunu & chebe. The high quality of you products shines through in my hair health. The shampoos, butters and oils I've been create have been amazing. Thanks you again. You have a lifetime customer
Marcie S.
The slip is the bomb. Very easy to detangle. Shedding has stopped.
Carlo P.
My hair not only gets clean, but this product makes my hair feel healthy and soft. I highly recommend that you buy it!
Lashaunna T.
I brought this product to try on my granddaughter’s head and boy does it work. It really helps to detangle the hair in way less time vs our old method. The left over mixture I put in a glass jar and put in in the fridge - about a week or two later I used it again. I like how the leaves settled to the bottom and the mixture was on top. It was easier because the mixture poured out nicely without the leaves. I warmed the mixture over heat and applied to the hair and it worked the tangles out nicely and again doing the hair in less time. I would definitely recommend it!
Clotilde L.
Ambunu is a marvelous plant!it does magic to my hair by keeping it moisturized, nourished and defined my curls naturally . It’s just amazing! I experienced it as a shampoo and it’s the greatest thing ever particularly if you have sensitive scalp or if your scalp is itchy, this is what you need. Also,I use Ambunu as a detangler and as well as leave-in mixing it with the Haitian black castor oil. My hair is growing and has less breakage and amazing volume. I have been using it since December 2021 and I already have great results and now I have compliments on my hair all the time. I can’t wait to see within a year how long my hair will get.
I definitely recommend Ambunu 100% and I will continue to buy from Miss Sahel Cosmetics. I received my order within 3 days. It’s very quick.
Tiffiany L.
I love how it detangles my hair!!
Jada A.
Earthy herb smell, love the gooey consistency as well. I use this on my my hair as a pre poo with aloe Vera gel and I also use it on my baby girl’s hair for a shampoo/detangler and it is now a staple in my stash. So glad I tried it and I am now a permanent customer. Definitely recommend
Yihan F.
It made my hair soft and shiny. I love it great product.
Tiffany T.
Great detangler!
Stephanie B.
The slip is amazing and my hair felt clean.
Jourdan W.
After going natural and having to experiment a LOT... I have been using ambunu as a leave-in and an anti-inflammatory for 2 years now, and for these 2 years, my dandruff has disappeared. I don't have to buy it often and I am in love with the growth it's helping me get. Thank you!!
Harlem B.
Came for the chebe, staying for the ambunu. Just simply amazing.
Ameena A.
The best nourishment my hair loves. My hair texture curls and looks so healthy. Since I started using ambunu. I wash of the Chebe powder with the morninga shampoo and then use ambunu, And thats my hair routine. My hair has not only grown in length but is very full, less breakage and I just love it
D'Andrea T.
Love it
Crystal S.
To anyone who is looking for a pure organic shampoo that can also act as a clarifying shampoo, look no further. This is the product for you. I have been using this for 2 years and my hair is squeaky clean and growing.
Sanielle B.
It really lives up to all the hype! Ambunu has superb slippage, my hair feels literally squeaky clean after washing, and even feels healthier. I do LOVE it! I would suggest EVERYONE give it a try.
I strongly suggest you watch the YouTube video tutorial first so you know what to expect. Yes, it is very messy...but so what! It's more than worth it for the results. Anything that yields great results is worth a little effort.
D'Andrea T.
It was everything that it was advertised to be.
Tamara H.
I had never heard of Ambunu, until recently. So I thought ok ok yeah yeah yeah it’s the next best thing. My Nephew has long 3b-4c Hair, he chose to Shampoo his Hair which left his Hair A Mess. I mixed Ambunu as suggested I waited until it was A Gel consistency. Then I used it to clean and condition his Hair, I’m sold his Hair was easy to detangle and Braiding was a breeze. I used my go to Oil to seal in all that moisture, Ambunu is now my go to I love it. I wasn’t paid for this interview this is my honest Review.
Brandee M.
This stuff is so much fun, and so versatile! It's like everyone says - the slippage is real, and the cleaning abilities are phenomenal. I may legitimately never go back to lathering shampoos between this and clay washes. In addition, being able to apply this directly to your dry, dirty hair saves so much water. Just an overall amazing item.
Chazmaine B.
Gives great slip and makes it more manageable. The hydration seemed boosted and my hair had great shine after too. Will definitely get more once I’m out.
Judith C.
The product now is ground up. In 2020, the product was more in the form on sticks and leaves. The slip is outstanding. I found it melts away knots if you take time to squeeze the mucus into that knot. I love it!
Ectkie M.
Leaves my hair silky and healthy. I’ll never use chemically shampoos EVER again
Damon N.
My name is Liz, and this is the best product I ever used for my whole family. My hair has never been so long and healthy ever. Thanks for making it, I am a forever customer.
Chanel R.
Made my 4 category hair so easy to manage and tangle free. Cleansed my hair and scalp squeaky clean.

I am in awe with this product! It works wonders on my daughter hair and she has very course 4C hair. The slip is awesome, it makes it easy to manage her hair and she loves it. It is a must have in my household.
Jasmine C.
Love this product so far. Mother Africa has the best herbs ❤️ I’ve washed and detangled my hair using this gooey, slippery product. Makes detangling easy for me and my thick hair.
Bernice C.
I have 4C and very dry ,nothing works more than and hr. when i started using this it last me about three day, that's a plus for me. I will continued to use it. thank you I think, this it is a very good product. keep up the good work
Cynthia L.
I love the way this feels on my hair, but I’m still waiting to see more results as far as length, it’s only been a short while and I want to give it more time. I will do another review soon..
Cynthia F.
I really liked the way it helped detailed my very curly hair and left it very shiny, too! It worked well and will purchase this product again.
Charlene W.
Having yet used my Ambunu but I’m most definitely looking forward to the benefits this products gives me!!
Kimberly A.
Made my 4C hair feel softer and smoother. Love it!
Marcelitte F.
Wonderful - I put it in my dry hair , left it on overnight with a shower cap , rinsed well in the morning -and the compliments did not stop coming .
I made more for my hair recently and used a little as a facial for 10 minutes and rinsed off- amazing !!!
Ingrid B. C.
The best herbal hair detangler; it leaves your hair soft and managable. I would certainly reccommend this natural herbal detangler.
Mary B.
I use this on my granddaughters hair, it takes the tangles out and there's no crying!
Dayana D.
A friend of mine told me about Ambunu a while ago, so I decided to give it a try only recently. I purchased from Sahel cosmetic after reading so many great reviews, oh well I was not disappointed. The price was right and my Ambunu leaves came earlier than I expected, very well packaged. So far, I like the feel of my hair. My hair feels nice, silky soft, and manageable. I can say that at times it is better than most leave-in conditioners without the added stuff. I am very pleased with my purchase it is definitely worth it.
Tangalina S.
I absolutely love the Mbulu shampoo. Unfortunately I had to switch phones and lost all of my pictures and videos. But it works really really good for the hair; cleansing the hair, leaving the hair moisturized, soft, and manageable.
Meriam D.
The ambunu leaves from Sahel is everything it says it is. I love it. With my 4z hair it detangled my knots like butter. Slip and ease were incredible. It is my new natural detangler and leave in conditioner. I took a handful and put in a bowl added hot water and let it steep for 30 minutes. The amount of gel it produced was more than enough to detangle my hair. I strained it through a knee high stocking and was left with just gel no leaves to get stuck in my hair. Sahel your ambunu leaves are the real thing. Thank you from the root of my knotty napps.
Carol L.
Softness off the charts!
Shirley W.
I love the Ambunu it leaves my hair soft and scalp clean. Will order again
Karla M.
I love Ambunu. I use it as a PrePoo with Fenucreek Powder and Aloe Vera Powder. The slip is amazing! A little goes a long way, so this package should last awhile!
Jolana W.
I do feel like this product helped to cleanse my scalp. I have 4c hair and slight dandruff. I deep conditioned and detangle my hair, then I washed my hair and scalp with the Ambunu.
The directions does not to say strain the leaves from the water. I didn’t and it made a huge mess. I will continue to use this product but I will definitely strain the leaves with a cheese cloth.
Natalia S.
Quality is amazing!! Keeps hair moisturized and relaxes the curl pattern. Makes brushing easier.
Nadia B.
Makes my hair soooo hydrated and soft
Sandra S.
Cleanest my hair looked and felt in years!
Tiara W.
Love this product, high quality and instant results!
Thank you!
Crystal S.
I should have bought this year's ago. I feel that my hair is in better condition now. I learned about this product after hearing that a lot of hair products you get at your general stores are not catered for African American hair and it has cancer causing ingredients. So I searched the web for something that is made specifically for black people hair. I found this amount and after using it. I have been hooked ever since. Thank you Sahel Cosmetics!
