It defines curls nicely and helps reduce frizz
This curl activator is rich and hydrating without feeling too heavy. It defines curls nicely and helps reduce frizz, especially when applied to damp hair. The avocado oil and shea butter leave the hair soft and moisturized, but if you use too much it can weigh the hair down a bit. Overall, it’s a great option for dry or thick curls that need extra moisture and shine.

Cantu Girly
Perfect product for curly, coily and 4c hair. Smell is amazing. Avocado added bonus for moisture. Creamy but not runny. Packing is easy to spot. No need to add water.

Effective
I really like this curl activator! It makes my curls look defined, soft, and bouncy without feeling heavy. The avocado formula gives nice moisture, and it helps with frizz too. A little goes a long way, and it leaves my hair looking fresh and healthy. Great for everyday curl care!

Defined, soft curls with fresh scent
I bought the Cantu Avocado Curl Activator Cream for my curly-haired sister-in-law and she loved it! The texture is rich but not heavy, and it defines curls without crunch. The scent is light and pleasant, and the packaging is practical. With avocado oil and shea butter, it keeps her hair soft, frizz-free, and moisturized.

Didnt work
Not a fan. The smell to me was overwhelming very perfumey smell. In the bottle it smelled ok but once on my hair it was just so strong! And it made my hair so oily and didn’t hardly hold my curls. After about an hr my hair was limp and oily. Really upset because I read good reviews. I guess it’s just hit or miss with your hair type but def didn’t work for me. I have a thinner wavy curl type hair might work better for thicker hair type

Best by far
This is by far the best product I have found for my sons thick long curly hair. Not a strong scent which is good since he is sensitive to smells. After trying many other products I have stuck with this brand for years.

Great for moisture!
As you can tell, we love Cantù. It smells great and is a perfect combo of thick but not too thick texture. Always leaves her hair moisturized and gives her a boost of confidence!
