Q: can i put it all around my head or only the ends of my hair?
submitted by kasey - 6 years ago
A: Hi Kasey! The Cantu Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream should be applied to the ends of your hair and worked up to the roots for a daily treatment. You can also use it as a more intense overnight hair treatment by applying it before bed and using a shower cap. Hope this helps!

A: Hi! This product can be used on both your whole head and/or the ends. The Cantu Leave-In can be used in several other ways as well. You can also use it to style twist outs and braid outs, as a rinse out conditioner, or it could be your go-to for wash and go’s! Happy Styling.

Q: Is this good for beards?
submitted by Neal - 4 months ago
A: Yes! Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream can work really well on beards. The shea butter and conditioning oils help soften hair, add moisture, and make your beard feel more manageable. Just use a small amount (a little goes a long way) and apply mainly to damp beard hair after showering. If you have a shorter or finer beard, start with a very light amount since the formula is rich and moisturizing.

Q: What is the difference between this one and the one for “natural hair”? They are both a conditioning cream but They seem very similar.
submitted by Lag4dayz - 8 years ago
A: This one has more of a repairing gesture while the other is just and only conditioner cream. Hope this solves your problem!

Amazing leave-in conditioner
I am almost done with this leave-in conditioner and I will be going to get another one. It does not only reduces frizz beautifully, but, it also has reduced my damaged ends considerably. It is not greasy or sticky at all and it doesn’t leave white residue. Smells really good too. My hair looks and feels so much healthier. Good size container and the price point is great.

Used as a in-Shower Conditioner = NO
I used this as a rinse out conditioner (following the directions on the back of the product). It felt great in the shower and smelled amazing. HOWEVER, when I did my usual detangling, I heard snap crackle pop! Thankfully, I had time on my hands, but no product in my aresenal could fix the snapping I was experienced. I will not be using this again, ever. The regular conditioner for natural hair is strengthening and softening. This product, I took a picture of my wet hair after the shower. It didn't even look good wet!! It looked dull.

Great leave in for thick, short, curly hair.
It leaves hair soft and doesn’t weigh it down.

Best curl-cream for taming humidity frizz
I have curly hair and bought the to-go small size of this product on spring break to FL, never having used it before, because it was convenient to fly with. When I was there, I fell in love with the product! Usually I get ULTRA frizz in humid areas but this product really helped that. I will say, it does leave some buildup on my scalp so I try to only use it when I'm in those humid zones

GREAT PRODUCT FOR CURLY HAIR
Amazing product for curly hair. Will always be my go to product. Very smooth application. Great on wet or dry hair, very nourishing and leaves the hair very soft. Great results after months.

Great Hydrating product!
I love that this product has great oils in it and leaves my hair very hydrated. The packaging is pretty and it does lot cost an arm and a leg to purchase.
