Affordable and great for wavy hair
This is my favorite hair gel! It goes on evenly and adds great definition to my wavy hair. It helps keep frizz at bay and smells so good! It’s free of a lot of harsh ingredients that my skin is sensitive to and the price is unbeatable. Love it!

Good cheap gel!
The Cantu Avocado Styling Gel gives great hold and definition without making my hair crunchy. It keeps my curls soft, shiny, and moisturized, and it doesn’t flake. A little goes a long way, so be careful not to use too much.

Rich and thick formula with unsuccessful results
The fragrance is delightful, and the consistency of the formula is quite rich. Unfortunately, for my coily curls, it didn't effectively tame the frizz. Initially, when I applied it, it felt like it was doing its job, but as it dried, the flyaways and frizz returned. I had high expectations for this product, but sadly, it didn't perform well for my poofy and curly hair.

Unhappy
One of the jars was broken and I had gel all over the box. Gel on the other jars and some on the boxes of teas that I also ordered. Can’t believe that there was nothing to cushion the items.

Flare up
I believe this was the cause of my ezema flare up. I got three huge itchy rashes on my neck. Doing a process of elimination but I believe this to be the culprit.

longer-lasting definition throughout the day.
Do you want your curls to hold better? Starting the transition back to curly hair can be tough, especially with very short hair—it’s hard to find a cute style during the process. But I’ve got a solution for you: Cantu gel gives your hair longer-lasting definition throughout the day.

careless shipping
If you are thinking about ordering something that you hope stays sealed until it arrives, go ahead and take a look at what I found when opening the box. No bubble wrap or anything to keep things from moving around probably caused one container to open. Careless. Maybe Target should care more about its order fullfillment and less about appeasing political haters.

Cantu styling gel
When doing my toddlers curly hairstyles, the Cantu avocado styling gel is my go to product because it holds my baby’s hairstyles in place without creating any flakes ir dryness some other gels do. It also smells great and comes in a huge container so it takes a while to run out.

Defines curls nicely!
This product works very well along side other cantu products, which I love. The scent is light and not overpowering. The texture is smooth and not too thick, my hair loves shea butter so that’s a plus for sure. It works so well when you want to define your curls, I think it performs pretty well.

Smells good, poor hold on curls
It smells great! There is a lot of product for the price. However, the hold was not that great. I use it on my toddler and his curls end up flattening out by the middle of the day. I wish it had more of a hold
