Cantu Coconut Curling Cream with Shea Butter for Natural Hair, 12 oz

I use this for my son's hair! He has really nice hair so I like to make sure it's well taken care of. He is mixed with African American, Mexican, and Caucasian so his hair is curly and he likes to keep it long it's important for me to get a strong curl cream that has many good qualities. For me this protects his hair and keeps it moisturized without weighing down his curls or making them crunchy, that being said a little goes a long way and if you add too much it will get those white flakes on the scalp so don't over apply. It's thick so distribute it evenly and focus on the curl patterns rather then the thickness, I have come to find that using really small amounts and focusing on the curls does better then just grabbing a big amounts and rubbing it all over. I have curly hair myself but my mom didn't know how to do my hair so these are things I learned as I grew up and wish I knew. I think it does add shine, but if you are like my son if you sleep rather restless after night 2 it's gonna need a touch up because the frizz will start to happen. I am very happy with the product for smelling nice, providing hold and curl definition, being affordable and lasting awhile I usually buy two jars at once and my sons hair wash days vary between every other day to 3 days and they last me about 4 months but keep in mind he does not have a sensitive scalp so I am not sure on how this product would be with that case and I honestly apply it really thin on his top layer to avoid the flakes that have happened from over applying in the past.

This product is amazing leaves your curls shine and soft with natural look and smells so good

"If you have curly or wavy hair, you have to try the Cantu Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle! I have curly hair and have always struggled with dryness and frizz. Since I started using these products, I've noticed a huge difference.What I like most is that they are sulfate-free, which is very important for my hair type, as sulfates tend to dry out hair. Shea butter, which is one of the main ingredients, has done wonders for my hair, leaving it super moisturized and soft.The shampoo cleanses really well without drying out, and the conditioner detangles my hair easily, which saves me a lot of time. My curls are more defined and less frizzy, which is a huge win for me!Plus, the value for money is great! Excellent. You get a good amount of product for a reasonable price.If I had to mention one negative, it would be that the shampoo doesn't lather very well, but that doesn't affect its cleansing ability.

This would be five stars except for one key issue. When I wear this, I smell like I'm on the beach, smothered in Hawaiian Tropic Tanning oil, sipping a pina colada - the scent does NOT dissipate through the day. The scent smells ok, I like the beach, but as a guy, I prefer products with no scent. As a styling product, it's great. My 3C curls stay thick and curly while being somewhat "tamed." If it weren't for the scent, this WOULD be my go-to styling product. For the cost, it's fantastic. One jar would last me 5+ months if I used it every day. For the cost and results, it's worth a try.

Smells wonderful. Quality was great. Worth the money for sure. Washes out easy. Love that it was not sticky like other hair products.

A few years ago, out of the blue, my hair started matting, became stringy and I lost half my hair. Idk why but I had a complete breakdown. Since then I had lost most my curl. My hair was dry, straight and full of split ends, which I'd never had before. I eat healthy, drink tons of water so that wasn't the issue. When I brush my hair, the sink would be full of pieces of hair that were an inch to six inches long. I've purchased hundreds of dollars worth of expensive skin, nail and hair vitamins and took them religiously.... Nothing worked. I tried so many different conditioners and hair products and nothing worked. My hair was always so growing fast but it was breaking off half way down. My hair was all one length and since all this started, it looks like I cut and layer it but it's just so damaged. I finally bought this stuff two months ago and started putting it in my after washing and towel drying my hair and then just washing my hair twice a week. I can't not believe the transformation of my hair in the past two months. My curl is back! My hair is no longer flat, straight, dried out and breaking off in the sink and I can barely tell my hair was damaged like that before. It's completely full again. I guess it's put such a crazy protective coat over my hair to protect it from breaking off. It came in a two pack and even after two months the first jar is mostly full bc a little goes a really long way. Using too much can make my hair look greasy. I had really given up hope until I found this. I'm so happy and grateful for this stuff! I wish I had a pic from a year ago to show the difference. And it smells amazing!I see reviews where some say it's heavy, makes their hair stuff or crunchy. They are applying way too much. I brush my hair before washing, then leave my hair in a towel for around an hour, then I apply a small amount with my fingers and run it through and scrunch it. The next morning my hair is soft with bouncy curls. I do not have to brush my hair again until I was it. That's how well this works. I don't think I would apply it and come it through, which may make it too heavy and cause greasiness. Also ppl need to be realistic. If you are getting a curling cream to make your hair curly and you naturally have straight or wavy hair, it's not going to work so it's unfair to give poor reviewers. Go get a perm... The key to any product is applying it correctly and finding which way works best for you.Update: It's now September and I have now gone through three tubs of this and just received another two pack. My hair is now back to being one length and probably grown another 2-3". I will never stop using this stuff. The packages often come leaking but I just wipe it off. They should figure out how to seal them better.

Smells great.works great the first day but next day if use makes my hair crunchy.feel like I lose a lot of hair

My favorite thing about this cream is that once your head is a little wet, you don’t need to put much in your hair for curl forming and moisturizing to be effective. It smells good, has had no bad effect on my hair, and is healthy for it. I advise you to not leave the product open for too long so it doesn’t dry up. That happened to me once but thankfully only the top layer dried up. Everything below was still moist.
