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

This is really great for curly hair and is effective at reducing frizz. I like to work it into wet hair, then either air dry or diffuse. It has less hold than gel, but smells really good and keeps curls, bouncy and light. Keeps hair feeling soft and washes out easily.

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 great at adding definition to curls without feeling greasy. It works really well.

This is my favorite cream styler. It has helped my hair get healthy and long for years. Plus I love the smell.

I’ve been using Cantu Coconut Curling Cream for over 5 years, and I can confidently say it’s the best curl cream on the market-- hands down. I have long wavy hair that can be tricky to manage, but this cream not only hydrates beautifully, it also defines and holds my waves without weighing them down. The scent is amazing: it smells like fresh coconut juice, light and refreshing without being overpowering. My routine is simple: after a shower, I towel dry my hair, scoop about a thumb’s worth of cream, and work it through. Then I loosely twist my hair, clip it up overnight, and by morning it looks like I just walked out of a salon after hours of styling. My waves are soft, bouncy, frizz-free, and perfectly defined. I’ve tried so many products over the years, from high-end salon brands to drugstore finds, and nothing compares to this. This is the only curl cream I trust, and it’s been one of the easiest parts of my hair routine. If you want effortless, hydrated, gorgeous curls or waves; look no further.

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.

This is my favorite product for me and my kids hair. It oils the hair and works for out tight curls. The price is great for two. It smells so good. Our hair stays moisture and helps make hair easy to comb through during a wash. Always my go to. Thick texture and not sticky.

the hold is exceptional in this cream but it tends to make your curls very saggy. for instance i have 3a hair and it just makes my curls look kinda greasy. but it makes up for those flaws with its moisturizing abilities, when i ran out of conditioner i just used this for a couple days and no one could tell.
