Cantu Avocado Styling Gel - 18.5oz

I’m natural so it’s important that I find hair products that don’t contain a lot of alcohol or water. This gel is great!!! It doesn’t flake make my hair white or cause breakage.

This product is very thick but does not hold down hair well unless you coat your hair in it. I have very curly hair and this styling gel struggled to hold it down. If you have straight hair it would probably work better for you.

I love this product. It smells good and doesn’t leave my hair hard once it is dry. Also, it doesn’t damage my hair as the one I used before because this one doesn’t contain alcohol.

I have dry, curly, long hair and this stuff works great for me. I comb it through with a wide tooth comb, let my hair air dry, and my hair looks great! Also, my hair isn't crunchy like with some gels but it takes the frizz away just the same. I am so glad I discovered this product.

For my wavy/curly hair, this offered no hold at all, I couldn’t get a cast to scrunch out. I wouldn’t even say that it’s noticeably more hydrated with this product in the mix, but it probably helps some. I like that there’s no scent really and the price for the amount is great.

I like this product so much! This gel holds my hair so well and it is perfect for my curls when I mix it with leave-in.

This product says flexible hold, but the consistency is similar to other gels and gelees that are very water based. For my 4b/4c hair, I knew it was going to be hydrating and not a product for laying anything down. I use it after my leave in conditioner when I do twists and it works good with no flaking in my hair. It is pretty good for hold in that regard so it's probably best for twists, brands and curl definition.

Make sure you read the packaging unlike myself! This is a hydrating gel, so for my curly hair when I apply this to my wet hair after my wash day I was expecting this to have a strong hold. This one does not. It has a very light hold and once my hair was dry it was much frizzier than when I use my other gels. No cast but my hair does look hydrated and shiny. This gel from Cantù was not for me.

I like this. I don’t usually use gel but there are Day my hair is not working with me or i want my hair to stay in place and this is my go to product. It has good good and doesn’t leave my hair crunchy!

I like this product a lot because it doesn’t dry up on my daughters hair and make white flakes. It also makes her beautiful curls pop!!

This gel did absolutely nothing for me. Might as well if not used gel at all. It provided no hold for my curls, pretty disappointed.

Hold curls great smells great I love how it doesn't have all the activities like other products

Usually I can't use gels on my hair because of the texture and flaking, but this gel moisturizes and conditions my hair and the hold and wonderful

Cantu Avocado Styling Gel is lightweight and let my hair move freely. My hair didn't get hard as a rock which is nice. The smell is also ok. I would recommend this hair gel to anyone looking for a nice light weight gel. I will be buying more.

I usually use creams in my curly hair because gel tends to weigh down the curl. Well this gel is completely different! It actually adds volume and my hair was left soft and bouncy. It doesn't make it feel hard or crunchy and it didn't leave any residue/white flakiness on my hair throughout the day.

I used this gel for a wash and go, using a different brand's creamy leave-in. The gel is very thick. Typically I prefer a gel that is a bit more loose. I used it to shingle my hair in 8 sections, so each strand was coated. After air drying, I noticed quite a bit of shrinkage and my hair wasn't crunchy at all. I typically like a gel cast because I know that frizz will be minimal. As I suspected, on days 2 and 3 I saw my hair getting more and more puffy/frizzy. Now it's day 5 and it's barely a hairstyle anymore. I think this might be better suited for ponytails or slick hairstyles that aren't intended to be in for an extended period. Hence "flexible hold". It didn't flake or ball up, even when combined with another brand's leave-in conditioner which I've experienced with Cantu products. Not a bad product but I wouldn't recommend it for wash n go's.

I was so excited to try the Cantu Avocado Styling Gel when it arrived. I read the product and it appears that it is typically used to wash and go's and other styles that require wet hair. I usually wear my hair in twist outs, so I decided to try it with that style. I like that it doesn't leave my hair crunchy and I haven't noticed any residue either since I took my hair out of the twist. My hair is still soft and as the product mentions, it does have a light hold. I don't expect to get but a few days out of this twist out since the hold is so light. I think this product is great for when you only want a particular style for a day or 2. I have 4 C hair so this isn't a product that expect to really show case my curl pattern with just the product alone. I tried a good amount of gel on some of my hair alone with no other products and it just didn't provide the "pop" I would like to see for my natural curls. I will however continue to use on my twist outs.

My 2 year old has super curly hair and we are always on the lookout for great hair products. We had recently switched to using all Cantu products. Shampoo, conditioner, spray in conditioner, cream leave-in conditioner. This styling gel was the perfect addition to that lineup. His hair is always looking great now. We highly recommend this product and brand to everyone.

Loved the scent and it had fantastic hold.

I loved the smell of this product. I would have loved it more if it was stronger! It didn't feel sticky to me and it didn't make my hair hard when it dried. I don't see a big difference from other products I use except for the hard hair part. I don't know if it was me or the product but it was a bit hard to apply. It's like it wanted to get stuck even though it wasn't sticky. I'd recommend this product but I don't know that I'd go looking for it to buy.
