    Gel is lightweight

    Great for styling curly hair, lightweight, zero flaking on the hair. Must have! Price is affordable. My daughter's have type 4 curls so this gives them a fresh look, works great as a small touch up gel.

    I’ve used this gel for 3 years and love it for its medium hold, easy absorption, and defined, soft curls without any stiffness or crunch.

    I’ve been using this gel for about 3 years, and it has definitely become one of my favorite products for defining my curls. Whenever I run out, I always buy another one. I love that my hair absorbs it really well, and it gives me medium hold when I mix my leave-In conditioner or curl activator. It defines my curls without leaving my hair hard, crunchy or weighed down. What I love most is that I can get beautiful definition while keeping my curls soft and bouncy. This gel has been a staple in my curly hair routine for years, and I will definitely keep repurchasing it. Highly recommend.

    Smell good!

    It has a good smooth feel ‘ it smells good as well ! It goes good on your scalp and it doesn’t cause a lot of drying. The hair won’t curl unless you want it to

    Great for all hair types

    Great smell and perfect grip. Works for different hair texture. It’s easy to wash it out. I love the smell and how moisturizing it is for my dry hair.

    Great option for $

    Works well, not overly smelly and comes out easily. We have thick and fine hair. It doesn’t last super long but it seems to leave hair feeling nice!

    Durable quality

    For me, Cantu styling gel has been my best ally at this moment, after going through hair loss due to cancer, I was looking for a product that would not mistreat my hair, leave no visible residues or very hard, and honestly, I found it, a delicious, durable smell without leaving the hair very wet, it is incredible, preferable to apply with wet hair.

    You don't need a lot on product

    I think this product is well appreciated for girls who have 4c hair type. Your curls will be shiny and hydrated. Best results would be to use on freshly washed hair and you have time to air dry.

    It’s not flaky, and it holds hair in place the best if you ask me, the application is impeccable the definition is noticeable. The performance is top tier.

    Moisturizing, flake‑free gel that defines curls beautifully, holds reliably, and keeps hair healthy and soft all day!

    Absolute staple for curly & textured hair! Made with avocado oil + shea butter, it’s alcohol‑free, super moisturizing, and never drying. The gel has a smooth, lightweight texture, defines curls perfectly, and delivers flexible hold — no stiff, crunchy feel or white flakes at all. It fights frizz like a pro, keeps hair soft and shiny, and the big size is such amazing value! ✨

    The fragrance and residue factor are wins for me.

    I love the smell of this product. Also it has a different feel but very strong. I would recommend the residue is not as bad as most gels. Price for product is good or fair I would say. And it consistently lasts all day.
