This includes Kalekkodt powder from Mali (black benniseeds, white raisin tree powder) Karkar oil, chebe, shea butter, hempseed oil, olive oil, ayilo clay, and and cow fat (ghee).
Q&A
1) Would you mind telling me about Kalekkodt powder?
Yes this powder is talekkodt, a mix of crushed black benniseeds and crushed white raisin tree leaves, from Mali which is used by the Tuaregs.
2) Does this ingredient help with length retention?
Yes, it works similarly to Chebe and helps with length retention.
3) Is it more potent than Chebe powder?
No it isn't more potent. It works in exactly the same way. However, this pomade has other additional ingredients that help with length retention.
4) What is the difference between your original and extra-strength Chebe/Kalekkodt hair grease?
The extra strength has a higher concentration of the talekkodt powder. The extra strength has a very thick and texture and was formulated especially for 4b/4c hair to give a strong hold and lay down edges. It's best used for styling.
5)Does the grease absorb into your hair or does it leave particles?
It absorbs in the hair because it contains cow fat, karkar oil and shea butter, however, the benniseed particles can be seen on a lighter hair color. You can't see them if you have black hair because the seeds are black but when you wash your hair, you'll see them coming out.
6)How often should someone re- apply the grease?
The original formula is lightweight like shea butter and you can apply it as often as you want. However, as with any hair pomade, it is always best used after a fresh wash because the hair is lighter and can keep a style better. The same applies to the extra strength. However, it is best not to use the extra strength daily because as mentioned, it was designed to give a stronger hold. So maybe once a week is good or just for laying edges and other styling purposes.
