CantuCoconut 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.

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.

As a frequent user of Cantu Shea Butter Curling Cream, I can confidently say it’s one of the best products for a low cost that I’ve tried for my curly hair in my repertoire of hair products. The texture is thick and creamy, yet it easily applies and absorbs into my hair without feeling greasy. However, continued application without frequently washing the hair can lead to a white-tinted buildup, so it’s important to maintain a regular washing routine.The product provides incredible moisture and defines my curls beautifully, leaving them soft and with just the right amount of hold. I also love how it helps control frizz, even on humid days, keeping my curls looking smooth and defined throughout the day.This cream is especially effective for hair textures ranging from 3a to 4c, particularly for those with medium to thick hair that needs extra hydration and definition. It works wonders on my hair, adding moisture without weighing it down. However, for anyone with finer hair textures (like 2a-2c), I would recommend caution, as it can be a bit too heavy, leading to buildup or a weighed-down feel if too much is applied.Overall, if you have thicker, curlier hair, this product is a must-try for keeping your curls defined, hydrated, and frizz-free!

Such a good product! I use it on my children’s hair since they got their dad’s curly hair! It smells so good and makes your curls pop!

I really love this cream! It defines my curls beautifully without leaving any residue or making my hair feel stiff.The coconut scent is amazing, and it keeps my hair soft, hydrated, and shiny.I use it on my natural hair after washing, and it brings out my curls every time.Highly recommended for anyone with curly or natural hair!
