African Nomads Hair Butter is inspired by traditional hair care practices used for generations by nomadic women in the Sahel region of Africa. Known among Fulani and Wodabee women as “nebam nei” and among Chadian women as “dee-heen baggar,” this nourishing butter has long been valued for its ability to soften and detangle dry hair.
Formulated to support manageability and shine, this african hair butter helps reduce frizz while improving softness in textured and natural hair types. It is especially effective when used after protective styles such as braids, wigs, or weaves.
This hair butter for dry hair provides deep nourishment, making detangling easier and helping restore suppleness before wash day.

Sahel Cosmetics, thank you for leading the way back to natural Black Beauty with grace and style! The African Nomads Hair Butter is EXCEPTIONAL! Sahel Cosmetics DO NOT STOP THE BLACK GIRL MAGIC!!! I applied and massaged the African Nomads Hair Butter into very, very dry 4C hair before attempting to moisten my hair with water. I wanted to put it to the test to determine if this hair butter really did moisten very dry strands without wetting the hair while making it manageable so that I could gently detangle it. The butter did not have that ‘greasy’ feel like a lot of products. It actually SATURATED the strands which means the hair butter did not ‘sit’ on the hair, but actually penetrated the strands. Once again, this product DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I found it very easy to detangle with my fingers without pulling my hair. When I started combing my hair starting from the ends, the strands were not being broken due to lack of elasticity of the hair strand. I love this butter and also use it as a part of my moisture sealing process after applying the Chebe to keep my hair even MORE moisturized. I will have to order more as I am going through the jar faster than I expected and I don’t want to run out! Once again, Sahel Cosmetics, thank you for helping me fall in love again with my 4C CROWN! By the way, I don’t wear braids, wigs, or weaves. I prefer to use Sahel products to get my hair back to a healthy state and I see the difference. I LOVE THESE PRODUCTS!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Fantastic as always. My hair loves this butter. I wish the company would create a a larger size, or perhaps a bundle deal. I like to use it in my hair every other day so I want it to last longer.

Love the creamy, thick consistency of the nomad butter. My hair is soft and easily managed after I apply it. I always had a hard time detangling until now. Finger detangling is very easily done using this product. My sincere thanks!

I l-o-v-e this product. I have been using Chebe products for a while; I even made my own oils with it before I could purchase them ready made. Your product has really transformed my hair making it moisturized and it curls beautifully. My hair is below my waist and it was getting a little more time consuming to keep looking good. THIS PRODUCT CHANGED THAT! It makes your hair feel and look silky! The downside: My husband hates the smell and complains when I put it in my hair before I wash it out. Question: Can you make it smell better? IF SO, IT WILL BE PERFECT!

The African Nomad Hair Butter has a good blend of ingredients needed for my hair. The only issue for me is the smell is very strong & unpleasant. So, I only use the product when I will be home for a few days, then I wash away before stepping out publicly.

Love the product, it makes my hair so soft and manageable!

Awesome product. The only issue is the fermented milk smell is a bit unpleasant and lingers on her satin wrap and pillow case.
Dr M. 5/5 Verified
Though not the best of smells that's not why I gave it 3 stars. It just didn't keep my hair very moisturised. I'll try adding it to my deep conditioner and see if that works better for me.

My hair and my daughters hair love it ! I personally don’t have any issue with the smell ( actually I like it maybe because I grew in Africa🤷🏽♂️) my daughter got use to it and now she likes it too ! But the product itself is amaizing! Smooth hair well hydrated ( I applied it on top of my homemade flaxseeds gel ) and nourished !
